I am now working a new website project which includes a forum. With the Forum module bundled in the Drupal core. It is easy to build a forum based Drupal site. In the coming days, i would like to share suggestions when working on forum site.
First of all, you could equip your Drupal website with the basic forum features by enabling the core Forum module. However, that may be not enough for meeting the client’s requirements or it is difficult to customize it. That’s why we need the Advanced Forum module.

We can make the section-footer sticky in Omega theme by adding the following piece of code in <your-theme>-alpha-default.css.
/* sticky footer */
html, body {height: 100%; margin: 0;}
#page {display: table; width: 100%;}
html>/**/body #page {height: 100%;}
*:first-child+html #page {height: auto;}
.section {display: table-row;}
html>/**/body .section-content {height: 100%;}
*:first-child+html body .section-content {height: auto;}

Reference: Has anyone tried to get a sticky footer to work with Omega?
In Drupal 7, there is a user login block. We can customize that block using the hook_form_FORM_ID_alter(). You can create a custom module or implement it directly in the theme template.php.
Here is a simple example written by Liam McDermott. You can add this in the template.php and replace THEMENAME by your theme name.

I have a custom form and i render the form using drupal_get_form() inside the .tpl.php. One day, i find that when the submission could not pass the validation, only the failed field was highlighted but without the error message. Then i find the following post suggesting that i should called the drupal_get_form() in the .module file or preprocess function instead of the .tpl.php.
form_set_error Not displaying error after invalid form submission
So i put the drupal_get_form() call in the preprocess function and set the form in the $vars so it could be printed in the .tpl.php. But that still could not solve the problem. Finally i come up with a simple solution which is just adding the following line in the .tpl.php.
<div><?php print theme_status_messages(array('display' => 'error')); ?></div>
Done =)
