Wizards of the Coast have recently dumped vB in favour of a homebrew (?) community solution, which is looking pretty nice. I don't know if their traffic was too much for vB to handle or just the lack of features that they've got now, but one thing that caught my attention was the users' activity in the profile, like here: http://community.wizards.com/wotc_trevor
I would very much like to see something like that implemented in vB, because as it is now, even the "search for users' posts" link is hidden so deep that unless you know it's there, people usually never find it. I must have got over a hundred of questions over "where/how can I see the last few posts from user X" in the last year alone.
The way that wizards do it, the last few days' activity is plainly visible and easy to scan. It also doubles as a Twitter account (for quick single-sentence updates) pretty much, AND a list of moods. All very popular and easily transplanted to vB.
