Things i'd like, but haven't gotten around to adding yet:
Add new forum posts to forum after replying.
The downside of using behind-the-scenes posting is that you miss out on seeing all the other replies and new threads posted whilst you were pondering your own words. Would be nice to get these without having to reload the whole page...Better preference / signature management
Currently a total hack, with each instance of CodeProject having its own set of preferences and sigs loaded.Additional editing options, convenience functions...
Including things like David Stone's CPhog+Midas project, a Markdown option, templates, etc...Automatic timestamp for modified posts- Page-level indication of pending and failed posts
Shortcut keys on the post/modify/reply form
Current plan:
Ctrl+Shift+C Wrap selection in Ctrl+Shift+< Insert a <Ctrl+Shift+> Insert a >Ctrl+Shift+& Insert a &Ctrl+Shift+L Create a linkCtrl+Shift+^ Create a link w/ clickety tail ([^])Ctrl+Shift++ SuperscriptCtrl+Shift+- SubscriptCtrl+Q Quote selected text (or format selected text as a quotation, if selection is in the editor)
Ctrl+E Insert emoticon
Ctrl+B BoldCtrl+I ItalicCtrl+U UnderlineCtrl+S StrikethroughCtrl+L Create a link[^]Ctrl+Enter Submit your postEsc Closes the post editor or Closes the preview, if previewing
Ctrl+Shift+P Preview your postCtrl+Shift+S Submit your post
Make linkification work with https:// addressesKeyboard navigation in forum
Current plan:
Ctrl+Right Arrow Moves to the next postCtrl+Left Arrow Moves to the previous postCtrl+Up Arrow Moves to the previous thread headerCtrl+Down Arrow Moves to the next thread headerAlt+R Reply to the current post
Alt+M Modify the current postAlt+N Create a new threadCtrl+Q Reply to the current post, quoting the entire post
- Escape HTML in selection function
- Thread-by-thread refresh
Feel free to reply with your own suggestions...

I don't know if this falls under 3) or not:
How about a checkbox (or something else, small enough not to annoy those who don't want this) which controls the visibility of a formatting toolbar like the one in the "original" reply form? With formatting toolbar I mean the "small, big, pre, code, etc" toolbar.

The smiley dropdown does not have the hidden icon, i.e the beer mug, dancing bob, etc. I wish, they were there too.

They are hidden for a purpose. Making them public will make them...disappear...

huh?
I think the hidden icons were available in Micheal Dunn's CP toolbar, nothing secret there.

hello,
For some reason the Signature dont work for me, I have to enter the sig every time i use CPHog to reply a post.
Since u said its a hack, i thought i could embed my sigs in the scritps itself so that i can ensure 100% that my sigs will be always available.
But i wanted to know the format of the sigs stored in var aSigSet = new Array();
thanks.

They are just strings. So,
aSigSet = ["This is <b>my</b> sig."];
currentSig=0;
Would work to force a single signature. Before you do that, try one thing please: make sure signature "-" is selected and the Random checkbox is unchecked. Make sure CP is open in only one window or tab. Enter a signature. Reload CP. See if it sticks.

Each message has its own ID in the page, right? Would it be possible to go through all the messages in the downloaded page after doing the post, and add all the new ones dynamically? Complex, I know, but cool 
I like the shortcut keys, although I wouldn't use keyboard navigation.
One thing that really annoys me about the forums is the way the scrolling is done when you select a post. As I'm getting further down the page, I like scrolling down so the message I'm reading is somewhere around the middle of the screen. However, as soon as I select the next message, the pages jumps back up, so that the message is now at the bottom of the screen, which means I have to scroll down to be able to select the next message. It would be nice if the forums only scrolled if the message didn't fit on the screen.

How do you accomplish this?
I have some ideas...

Add the ability to view or go to the root of a message and the parent as well. Some threads are huge and I need to check what the parent or original message is without going back. That might be more of a CM/CP change.
