I just noticed that ECF is using vbulletin, or at least some sort of vbulletin variant.
Not sure if you guys knew this or not, but because of that you may have something called iTrader available to you. It's an awesome feedback system plugin that shows a user's feedback in their general info area next to their post. You can click that 0-0-0 feedback bar to view their feedback, or leave positive/negative/nuetral feedback for them. This would greatly simplify and streamline the feedback leaving/checking system. Feedback threads are SO outdated.
I work on phpbb3 forums, so I can't really give many technical details about this plugin since it's exclusively for vbulletin last I checked. I do know that it's legit, it's been around for quite a while, and it works quite nicely. If anyone is interested in seeing it in action, I could link you to the forum of a car club I've been a member of for over 6 years. We use iTrader over there and it's definitely an important/necessary plugin for any forum that has a busy/popular classifieds section. Like I said, I work on phpbb3 forums and don't work on vb forums so I can't be of much help on the technical side of things...so I'll leave that to you guys to figure out.
Eta: Here's a link to what I believe is the most recent version. They have a description of the plugin, and some screenshots...but I think you have to register an account on the VB forum to see the screenies.
