Search Location Field in IPB v2.0.3
by Guest vpinto- 0 replies
- 1.6k views
Hi folks, I'd love it if the Member / Toggle More Options area could include an option to Search members by the default (not Custom) Location field. It's great that when making posts, the member's location appears under their avatar, but right now it's not possible to search members by location (e.g. USA, Germany etc.) Thanks for your consideration.

"Flag" members
by Guest SkipperEV- 4 replies
- 2.3k views
What about the ability to "Flag" members. Potential trouble makers, or allow members to have "warning" markers, or just markers that only Staff can see? This would help when you have a large forum and so many members that you can't keep track of whose a trouble maker or not. Ideas?

allow html in profile fields

I think It would be a great Idea to allow HTML in the profile fields. Currently I can only find two areas that allow it. One is the Signature area of the profile and the other is the posting area. Unless I havent found the option for this, maybe someone can tell me. thanks

option to replace Warn with Praise
by Guest Details- 4 replies
- 2.4k views
Warning people makes them un-happy. If people are un-happy they may flame. Flames mean more warns are given out. This is not the best way of making a happy forum. I went through the IPB language files and changed "warn" to "praise" (along with a few other tweaks). When people are good, you praise them (increase there warn level). I find kind praise is much better than nasty warnings. In some forums, warn may be better. In some, praise may be better. Which-ever suits a forum best. Suggestion: Give IPB admins the option to use the system for warning or for praising.

Upgrade History - Collapseable
by Guest Logan- 9 replies
- 3.2k views
Hello, In the ACP you have a little area beneath your server information called "Upgrade History". It is starting to get big. Once I go through the IPB 2.1.0 PFs and the final I will have to scroll to view all the ACP. In the IPB 2.1 roadmap it said the ACP will be cleaned up a bit, well for the upgrade history it should have the ability to be collapseable/expandable just like ROOT forums. :)

View New Posts -- Reload at Time Intervals
by Guest Tyler M.- 1 reply
- 2k views
I just converted from another forum, and the feature we miss the most, at least from the members feedback back is... "View New Posts" where they could select a drop down for an auto page refesh (No Refresh, 1 , 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes, 1 hours) Turns out the regulars would just leave the "View New Posts" page open all day long, they could see if a new topic/reply had surfaced in a timely manner. It looks like it is a deisred feature for my people, with a little guidence I could propely build it.. I would need to know what file the "View New Posts" is in, and any hints for php refresh... I am content with a 10,15,30 refresh... Any reason this would be con…

Removal of "Powered by Invision..." in the TITLE
by Guest magicRob- 15 replies
- 6.3k views
Would it be possible for the next release to remove the text "(Powered by Invision Power Board)" from the TITLE. The reason is that search engines, eg Google, use the TITLE text. When i want to find something to do with Invision, i get a truck load of results which have nothing to do with what I'm looking for. Rather I get lots of popular which run IPB. Surely the copyright etc notice at the bottom is enough and it is a far more sensible / responsible thing to do. I've removed it from my installation. If that means i'm breaching a licence agreement, so be it. It's far more useful for people using search engines rather than having results full of rubbish. - Rob

Remember last used search method
by Guest Sebastian Mares- 0 replies
- 1.8k views
I think it would be great if IPB could "memorize" which was the last search method (simple/advanced) used. If possible, also store the options (sorting, result type...), but that isn't so important. If saving the last method used is not possible, at least let the user select which of the two modes he wants to use from the CP.

New Stat?: Average word count per post
by Guest RogerKni- 1 reply
- 2k views
In the Member's section, add a statistic indicating the average word count (not including quoted material) of each member's posts. This would tend to discourage certain members from making many brief, chatty and unnecessary posts in order to run up their post count. EDIT: (If that's a non-problem, then the statistic is still arguably worthwhile, for curiosity's sake.)
