Hyper Forum is an addon that improves the readability of the Moodle forums. The purpose of this tool is to allow the users to be able to better follow complex threads. This is achieved by colour coding each post according the threads it is related to. Hyper Forum adds two coloured blocks onto each post. The first block indicates the parent of the current post, and the second indicates which posts are children (replies to) the current post.

Each colour is also a link, and clicking on the link will hide all unrelated posts enabling easy reading of a particular thread.

For those of you who are technically minded, this is achieved purely with Javascript doing DOM manipulation, and as such, no changes need to be made to the core PHP Moodle files.
