i would like to see for advertisement items to have an upsell option to add specific banners that can be included with the site email. 

So how does this affect how and where we place custom ads? The docs explicitly call for editing templates. 

So you're saying the initial topic could for a particular forum have a dedicated field for data entry? Would this field data be displayed inline in the body of the post after submission or would the field value be a column for the forum (searchable/filterable)

IE Technical forum you could have a discrete field "Software Version"  - will the field also include all the various types of fields like in other areas: 

So with the listeners and actions, if I got a notification to tend to approve a post would the suite be smart enough to dismiss the unread notification? Not just for me but to dismiss it for other moderators as someone took action on the event that required notification? 

So essentially what you are describing is a transaction (more than just crud operations) along with Pub/Sub or a simple que type system
