   Disable Live Links

   Well, It would be helpful to those who doesn't want live links. Having an option to disable live links in acp would be great. Also, automatically coding them with code tag would be fine as well. I suppose.. But I hope this doesn't effect this links as well... This exmaple is fine, since I'm adding the link manually and putting the title of the webpage. Click Here What I want is to disable this type of live links and code or disable them from being LIVE. http://www.google.com I hope, I'm getting this right..

   This is an option that should be available, and when you delete the parent setting, the moderator is unmodded from all forums. :thumbsup:

   I know I asked for this to be a mod at one time but I think it would be cool as a built in feature. Its a feature that ocportal has and would love to see in IPB. Basically it allows you to make a post in a topic that is only seen by the member it was wispered to. I was told after asking the makers of ocportal that theres is part of the PM system. Actually they do not have a PM system like IPB what it is is just a place forum that is full of wispers some thing like that, they call it personal topics.

   I have a medium-sized forum (300 000 messages) that has been run on phpBB2 for the past 3 years, but have recently installed the trial version of IPB. Although my users appreciate many of the improvements, they rather strongly miss a number of features that were available in phpBB2: - ability for users to add or remove themselves to usergroups at will; we had teams set up at our phpBB2 board that provided access to various forums. Our users really miss the option of adding and removing themselves as they like. - phpBB2 would just delete the oldest PM instead of refusing to send a private message if a user's box is full. Seems kind of critical to me to allow private co…

   It'd be great to be able to mark private messages as unread. Often I read my messages but don't want to deal with them at that moment. (or ever for that matter!)

   Better ban list support!

   In the ban area of IPB1.3 you can mass add and edit hole lists. But in 2.1x there is no way to mass add a list of ip's emails, or names!!! There sould be a way to mass add and mass edit in IPB 2.1x It would also be nice is there was a way to sort through ip's, emails, and names. A-Z 1-# etc... Or take out duplicates. Have a watch list. Ex. You add there ip, email and name, it dose not ban them but gives you notice when they try to register. And lets admins keep a close watch on people they think are up to no good. This is a hot topic as you can see on .invisionize with well over 1,500+ views! http://forums.invisionize.com/index.php?showtopic=104782 ============== If …

    button to turn onf/off highlighting of search keywords

    It'd be neat if there is a button somewhere to turn on/off of highlight of the keywords on the topic when doing a search. This way, no need to remove the query on url and reload the page.

    Not to say anything bad about how hacks are installed on IPB. but maybe a plugin system like vB. make it easy for those that don't know how to hard code a modification into the board script I use to have vB but switched back to IPB for its support and alot flexible then vB. so I think aaddig in a plugin system will help. Better gallery and blog installs throught hte pughin system will cut down on support tickets and all that

    I am not quite sure is this is all ready in the new copy of IPB but I do not think it is. Anyways, here is the thing I use the word filter not just for bad words, but also as a spell/grammar check, and to change abbreviations and slang. ex lol = Laughing out Loud I made a simple system so members could us they if they wanted to by adding a z first So zlol = Laughing out Loud However, just lol would stay the same. I also made a fix for bad grammar ex. i = I So i am so cool because i am the best! = I am so cool because I am the best! I use to use filter for spelling as well but I added my own php spell check that dose the job now. Here is one of my ideas that could wor…

    Anti-Virus Check

    This is a topic for feature expansions to the IPB Anti-Virus Check. Feel free to post your other suggestions here :) My suggestion is that the anti-virus check has an option added to mark a file safe. For instance, we are running the ineo RC and the scan comes back saying that the language file for this component is possibly a virus file, though it has a low score of 4. I can just imagine what a pain it would be to look at this page once an admin has installed multitudes of modifications or components to their site. The biggest down-side to this would be that it would make it easy, for those that are able to infect a site, to mark themselves as "safe" by running a query…

Would this be possible for 2.2? Or if it's possible in 2.1.x, how?

    A tool to configure a menu on the board

    Hello ! On my board, I have or am going to have : - a gallery ; - a chat ; - a blog system ; - a links system ; - a download system - a wiki system ; - and IPD. I' will be happy because my site will have all the necessary features that my web site needs. But : in addition to "My controls", "View new posts", "My assistant", "Help", "Search", "Members", "Calendar" and other already existing links at the top of the page, I think all these links are going to make a lot of links all at the same place. I don't understand a lot about CSS, PHP and the rest. So is it possible to create a system of menu that the admin could configure or something that would allow him…

    Greeting, I might have an idea that this subject ha been talked about before. But couldn't find it by a search. So this is my future suggestion for IPB. Having a link called "my treads" would help alot finding which treads you partisipated in, and a link called "my posts" to see what posts you have submitted. (i have a bad english, so please excuse me)

    Subscribed Topics

    I am a active member of a site that sadly uses VB and I seem to find the subscription feature very useful. When you reply in a topic that autmatically subscribes you a topic. Not the email type subscribe, but there is a list on the usercp homepage where it shows all your subscribed topics ordered from most current active to least. Under the title there is a link to unsubscrive. It also shows the icon telling you if there has been new posts made or not. It think this should be done and replace "recently viewed topics" in the usercp w/ this :) my 2 cents

    Plugin 'Hooks'

    July 28, 2006 by Guest Pete Walker

    • 0 replies
    • 1.3k views

    I found an old topic about this, but I think it's a point worth raising again. I've worked with both Wordpress and MediaWiki recently, and I noticed that their plugin systems are very very user-friendly to install and maintain... why? Because they offer a 'hooks' system for plugins. I personally think that IPB should offer a more widespread option to include this, as the components system and backend API, whilst helpful, do not offer the same flexibility that many modders currently find by making direct edits to a file. Obviously there's potentially a very high number of places within the code where hooks could be placed, and I'm not asking for you to cover every one of t…

    [-] and [X] buttons ?

    July 24, 2006 by Guest forums.bd

    • 1.7k views

    instead of having to select posts first and then choose an option, why not put these two buttons? [-] and [X] side by side? [-] will "hide/unapprove" the post. and clicking [X] will move the post to designate trash can forum? also when [-] is used initially, then there needs to be another logical buttons. one is [+] will undelete/unhide the post. the part in italics are valid only after using [-] option. i hope my message is clear to understand. thanks. the idea is similar to using this button. . that's how it could be implemented.

    Would be nice if you could edit a user's custom member title via their profile instead of having to go into the ACP to do it. I think that's the only profile field that has to be edited from the ACP? Odd. Any reason why it's currently set like that?

    Since uploading pictures with invision board don't get resized but they do with the gallery option. It would be better if people could choose to add attachements from their gallery... This way, i could promote them to use the gallery option to add pictures... And also the option that users can only post pictures using the gallery option and then choose their attachement from a gallery listing thx
