This forum is based on Discourse, an open-source platform for community conversation. Discourse has many official plugins and so-called theme components that can be easily added. Check them out!
If there is any plugin or theme component that you would like to test here, proposed it in the comments. Expect willingness to experiment from the administrators, although we still want to keep this forum sane and avoid confusing feature overflow. 
Other users are encouraged to comment on requests as well.
