Function

Modules

Forums

flatforum - a template that changes the look of forum so it resembles phpBB/vBulletin style flat forums. flatforum.module is needed for post count and join date information.

Custom Ranks by Post Count - This is a module that allows you to assign custom ranks based on postcount.

Quote - This module adds a 'quote' link below nodes and comments. Makes quoting of post easier.

User Badges - The User Badges module allows each user to be assigned 'badges' which can be displayed as a series of iconic images. To identify admins/moderators.

Private messaging

Privatemsg - This module allows your site's visitors to send private messages to each other.

Chatting

Chat Room - This module enables chat rooms to be set up on Drupal sites. No additional software is required. Chat Room uses AJAX to update chats without page reloads. Chat rooms are nodes that provide access to chats and chat archives. This module does not support pop-up windows or invitations.

WYSIWYG editor

BBCode - The Drupal bbcode.module adds a BBCode filter to Drupal. This allows you to use HTML-like tags as an alternative to HTML itself for adding markup to your posts.

Quicktags - Quicktags adds buttons to your forms, for easy insertation of code (like basic HTML) into a textarea.

TinyMCE - This module integrates the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor into a Drupal site for editing advance site content.

fckeditor - This module allows Drupal to replace textarea fields with the FCKeditor. This HTML text editor brings many of the powerful WYSIWYG editing functions of known desktop editors like Word to the web. It's relatively lightweight and doesn't require any kind of installation on the client computer.

Voting and reviews

userreview - This module enables users to post a review of any node. This module is inspired by some of the user review functionality seen in the internet, such as amazon.com.

Vote up/down Package - This project is an attempt to build a digg.com/reddit.com clone. It builds upon a number of other module.
