Some suggestions I think will be really useful...

- Related Topics before new topics- JQuery
One problem I always face is repeated topics. Doesn´t matter how hard you try to educate users, they don´t search before posting. So... I think it would be really easy to implemente a small section between topic subject and the message itself to show related topics. 

So... it would work this way - User will type the topic subject as ever... but each time he type a blank space (or when he change focus on the subject cell), a search would be made with all the subject words and the top 10 topics found on this search would be diplayed.

This doesn´t solve the problem completly, but I think it can help a lot! And also brings the benefit of the user, specially new ones, to find a good related interesting topic.

- Facebook Style replies
Maybe this one is harder... but would be good to have your reply posted in a topic withou having to reload all the page... as facebook does. Would be also be a resource saver.

All this stuff could be done with jQuery

The search feature when typing a subject is a nice idea, unfortunately unless you have a very tiny forum the amount of load that searching places on the server would mean that most servers would fall over under such a feature that would place massive amount of load on a server. Searches are already restrictive due the strain that they place on  the servers.

Using AJAX to post a reply without the need to reload the page is something that is on the 'todo' list.

Cool... but if instead of search while typing, just doing the search when the focus goes out of the subject box ?

Less effective, but would help:A button like "Search for related topics"... so it would be optional to users to do the search. Or after the post is done, present related topics and ask user to report the topic If is repeated. Or... integrate somehow the idea with google custom search.

By the way... related topics would be a good idea to show after each topic...
