Here's where I'd like to see AJAX

Spell Checker (yes like the ajax spell checker mod for 2.X and gmail)
Quick Reply (no seriously, it's a good addition to have)
Private Messaging
Attachments
Menu
and so on...

I suggest you leave the spell-checking to the browser. If you are using Firefox, may I suggest Spellbound?

nwbasser, I see that you mentioned gmail - the Google tool bar now also includes a spell checker that works well with phpbb and all other forums.

I wondered how vBulletin managed to get quick reply working so quickly, is that Ajax then?

An AJAXed Who is online list would be nice :P

We're kind of implementing this on our boards using some AJAX chatroom software, phpfreechat.

Yup, the tool bar and browser built in spell checkers are nice for those that have it, but a lot of users are clueless about these features and would have a better time using an built in spell checker. Only problem is it would add another dependency to phpbb (php with pspell). Well, I hope the current AJAX Spell Checker mod atleast gets ported to phpbb3 ;)

I'm from the same boards as yautja_cetanu, and we've now got a couple good uses of AJAX.

The first is the phpFreeChat which he said. Thats a great chatroom that I've integrated with phpBB.

The other I've just installed and that is using AJAX to have the 'new pm' popup appear without having to reload the page! So useful, as reloading pages when you're awaiting a PM is so annoying.

I'm also looking into making our whos online AJAX, as that is another very simple thing that would be worth doing!

If you get these unofficial mods working, you should consider getting them qualified as official mods for phpbb3 when time comes. I for one would love to have these features you mentioned.
