RSS feed should optionally output posts, instead of only topics

Currently, the IPB RSS exporter only lists topics. I have been using the RSS Post Exporter modification and really like it -- it allows the RSS export to output individual posts. This allows forum users to more closely monitor discussions within topics. I have just updated this modification to IPB 2.2.0. Thanks for listening.

Captcha problems

Greetings The Captcha system needs some enhancements to work better. I hope the developers take the following in consideration: When GD library images are selected, the system accepts capital letters only. It would be more convenient to accept both capital and small letters, like other software do. Or at least make it an option for admin to select from ACP.If we disable the images and use normal fonts, in many cases the images do not appear. Instead, only 2 lines of the ALT 'Code Bit Code Bit Code Bit' show. I don't know why this happens, but I've seen that in several sites that use IPB software.Many thanks.

Suggestion - Mass prune attachments

Is it me or is there no easy way to mass prune old attachments? I would like to mass prune old attachments in a similar manner to mass pruning inactive members. Currently I use the search criteria and list attachments over 12 months old and then manually have to click on the check box to delete them. Takes ages when there's up 1000 attachments to delete. Thanks Nigel / 3DKiwi

Bypass Calendar Moderation?

I've noticed that whenever we create a new event in the Calendar, the event will not be approved immedaitely. Instead it was being queued up just like any other topics. I wish IPB had a setting in User Groups which is "Bypass Calendar Moderation Queue", so that whenever we post an event in the calendar, we won't have to see the event and manually approve it(make it visible)

Caching improvement suggestion

Hey guys. I've recently noticed the style caching feature. It caches stylesheet to separate file, reducing page size. It's nice. But browser caches are buggy sometimes, and it's a pain, when you change something, and users can't see it immediately. Espescially when you change css and template together. CSS is cached in style_images/css_{skinid}.css Why not cache it into style_images/css_{skinid}-{a_couple_of_random_chars}.css and store a new adress in a template bit or something? The same goes with avatars. Filenames are stored in database, why not add random chars to them, so the changes will be visible immediately? thanks

Extremely Simple Suggestion: Bread-crumb nav at bottom

This is so easy to do, I don't even mind if it's a feature or not. (you don't even need to touch your keyboard, 2 mouse-clicks!) Only problem is, since I have this feature on my own forums, I'm so used to it that I always get a little annoyed at other forums (like this one!) that don't have that feature. I'm talking about the bread-crumb navigation: > Invision Power Services > Invision Power Services, Inc. > IPS Company Feedback > IP.Board It's at the top, but not at the bottom. I use it extensively to navigate around - and mostly, from the bottom (after I've read a topic, obviously!) You can see a demo on my forum http://www.zybez.net/community It's prett…

Get rid of case-sensitivity with CAPTCHA

Right now, letters in CAPTCHA images all have to be typed in the correct case or they won't be recognized. Since there are never any lowercase characters anyway (as far as I know), it doesn't help against bots and just makes it harder for humans to enter the correct code, so why not remove the requirement?

This is the idea for which I can easily device a new site, but I prefer this to be integrated with the main ipb forum. In "Integraion" I mean same base, same drive ... also limiting member groups to see this ... to say the truth there might be other added limitations, but can't think of them right now. See this: http://www.conference.ge/stuff/format.gif 1. As you see I want standard forum header and footer removed. Calendar's specific header & footer should be placed on all files within the calendar. So I want to be able to edit header and footer for the calendar 2. Calendar should be accessible by typing http://www.conference.ge/calendar/. I want to take a new dom…
