url redirect tag request
by Guest jamble- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
I'm sure it's probably actually a reasonably simple mod/feature request but I wonder if it would be possible to implement an url redirect tag for in the forum posts. I often post urls to other sites and I'd love to be able to track clickthroughs on selected urls in much the same way as a redirect forum would do. For example: instead of using the [url*] tag in a post, you could use something like [urlr] and then when you post your topic/post with that tag, it would show as something like: http://forums.invisionpower.com [5 clicks] ////// Does anyone know how this might be achieved or if it's a possible feature in the next version?

Topic Multi-Moderation PM reply
by Guest Sire- 0 replies
- 1.5k views
Might be useful to add an option to PM the reply to the poster of the topic in topic multi-moderation (maybe even in conjunction with the warning system), instead of Adding a reply to the topic.

Group Promotion by days
by Guest Sire- 0 replies
- 1.8k views
Instead of Group Promotion by [_______] posts. Group promotion by ___ posts and/or _____ days since joined. Maybe a regular member might become one after making 100 posts and 30 days since joined for example. As opposed to someone who can make 100 posts in 3 days.

Upload ID Card
by Guest kacy- 4 replies
- 2.5k views
Hello :) How about, there is a download card in the my controls area, the card contains all your stuff, avatars, signatures, profile information etc.. When you register on your board again or another IPB board on registration it will ask if you have a card or not, and you can upload it, saves time having to fill it all out at another forum ;) What you think? Regards

Archiving a complete board (not just topic)
by Guest mathewmitchell- 5 replies
- 2.4k views
I have a Power Board additional feature I'd like to suggest. It's very useful how in the "Options" choices under a topic you can save or download a complete topic discussion thread to HTML or Word formats. I'm a University professor and so I have any discussion boards up for one semester only. It would be great if at the end of a semester I had an option to download the complete forum into a Word format! The reasons for wanting to download a complete forum (e.g. the Discussion Board for one class) include: (a) it provides a quick history of discussions in case any debates/conflicts arise later on, (b) more importantly it allows me to do an analysis of the discussions a…

Invisible messages
by Guest Telemacus- 0 replies
- 1.5k views
I don't know if this can be done yet, but I think it would be quite useful. I wish I could have a feature which allowed some forums to let users post messages but only the user + moderators and admins where able to see it. I know I can create a group where all messages posted by users in that group automatically become invisible until they're accepted by the moderators, but that's not what I'm talking about, I want the user who has written it to be able to read them as well. For example, I have a forum called "complaints" and because this is a touchy subject, I don't want other users to be able to read what others complaint about. However, sometimes a user is right a…

Rejected validating members
by Guest Telemacus- 0 replies
- 1.5k views
Perhaps I'm overlooking something, but isn't the current validating system designed in such a way that the user whose application is rejected never gets a message explaining why his account was rejected? I wish I had the option of automatically choosing a reason as to why his account was rejected and then send him a message. (for example, although my forum rules clearly state that free email accounts are not accepted, a lot of users still apply using hotmail, etc. accounts). If the user never gets a message, then he might be so disappointed that he never applies again.

Warning system/Karma
by Guest David S.- 5 replies
- 3.1k views
A new more in depth warning system would be nice. What I was thinking about was a more indepth warning system where all of your members can see their's and everyone elses. Also I was wondering if the max warning system could be 0 to 10 instead of 0 to 5, so you could rate your member's 1-5 for being helpful and (-1)-(-5) for misbehavior.

More advanced log-out
by Guest Durden- 1 reply
- 2k views
I really would like a more advance logout option. Because when I forget to logout when I'm at a friend or so, the only way to keep my acount save is to change my password again. (or am I missing something.) I would like the folowing: THis is a example of a forum where I come regurlary. You can choose to log off the session you are using right now. Or logout all computers where you are logged in. Or logout all computers, except the one you're using. This will increase security (w00t)

Personal photo restrictions
by Guest Hancoque- 2 replies
- 2.1k views
You can prevent the use of remote URL avatars by disabling it in the ACP. I'd like to see such an option for the personal photo, too. While thinking about that I also thought about the possibility to prevent users from using too large images in signatures. Remote URL images cannot be controlled well, so there may be an option for users to upload a signature image just like they can upload an avatar image or a personal photo. Then you could specify which dimensions such images may have.

Custom Image for "each" Forum (Main Index)
by Guest Frigidman- 5 replies
- 3k views
It would be nice to see a feature added to the "settings" edit for each forum, that allows the admin to specify a specific image icon group to be used for the forum in the main index. Currently ALL forums use <#IMG_DIR#>/bf_(somethingrather).gif The setting could be a 'root name' of the image, where "_new" and "_nonew" are tacked on accordingly to if there are or are not any new posts inside. The bf_ icons only display on the main home index, so thats only where this could go. Since it requires some inner coding changes, it is not something I want to alter myself, as upgrading IPB in the future would become a nasty hassle. Tis only a feature request. Nothing…

Better "Lo-Fi" version
by Guest fortierr- 9 replies
- 5.4k views
Hi there One suggestion - perhaps making the Lo-Fi Version of IPB a little more robust? I have a user who is blind and it's difficult for her to navigate the forum. She loves the lo-fi version, but she's only able to read messages, not respond to it unless she views the message in the full version. Either that - or can someone suggest a very plain skin that I could set up for her? Thanks! Rick

Changing avatar size by user group
by Guest Black Prowler- 0 replies
- 2.3k views
I recently set up user groups based on contribution levels on my board. Once someone donates a certain amount they go into the specified group and recieveve the appropriate benifits. One of those is increased avatar size. Now since I have a few different levels I have had to manually change the avatar restrictions for each group by individually editing each member in that group. This is very time consuming. A much needed feature would be the abillity to change avatar size by user group(in addition to individually.) :cool: Please consider this feature request for IPB 2.1. Thank you! :cool: (ooooops :o ..I thought I was in the right forum..I goofed..someone please…

Delete after reply feature for PMs

I noticed that one big thing when managing alot of PMs would be a Delete After Reply button when replying to PMs. This would eliminate the extra step of deleting the ones you already replied to. Anybody else think this is a good idea? phpBB has it and its a great feature

Simple IPB Portal Upgrade...
by Guest chefelf- 2 replies
- 2.7k views
I would love to see a slightly updated version of IPB Portal: 1.) The ability to select any post from any forum (with a simple checkbox?) to appear on the portal main page. 2.) Assign IPB Portal permissions to a user or group? This would help me out with my site in so many ways. I could assign privileges to whatever "authors" I wanted to be able to post "articles" effectively on my site's main page. How hard would this be to implement? It seems simple enough. I've been looking for a solution for this for a long time to expand the usability of IPB Portal. Thanks! :)

force new members to read forum rules before
by Guest pk62004- 0 replies
- 1.8k views
I dont know if these features are already in place, and if so I apologize. I didn't see it in my acp. I'd like to have a feature where it would force all new members to read the forum rules before they post. Perhaps have it so once they click on the validation link in their email, it will redirect them to the forum guidelines and make them stay there for x_amount of time. Another feature I'd like to see is perhaps to set # of days for new members to be registered before they are allow posting rights. thanks for listening.

Profile/Registration/Agreement Improvements
by Guest Myr- 7 replies
- 3k views
1) I'd like better control over all the profile fields for registration. For example, I want to require people to enter a birthday. I know I can add a custom profile field for birthday, but why have it twice? So, complete control over each profile field (like location, YIM,AIM, MSN, etc) on whether it is on, off or required. 2) I'd like the option to force people to click on the agreement button if I change the board agreement rules. This would be handy if there was a rule change that you want everyone to be aware of. (whether or not they read it is up to them, but the admin is no longer responsible because people were told.) (by the way, both these features were…
