I remember when I first saw a “mood” in a blog program, I thought it was the coolest thing. Now, mood-designation is everywhere and is a nice part of online life. It’s a good way to let everyone know how you’re doing without “getting into it.”

When we switched over to Phorum, the mood is one of the things I missed most about our old system. However, at the time, we just didn’t have the time to code it. Plus, Jim was not nearly as knowledgeable about the Phorum system then. Flash forward a few months and Jim has finally tackled the mood!

The module comes with 30 pre-installed moods. The graphics were created by me using various smilies, some created by me, some not.

You can download the module from the Phorum website HERE.

You can pretty much put the mood anywhere you want, but the module adds it to the user’s posting info. Screenshot below. You could easily use the Custom Profile module and have the mood displayed there as well.
