Members choose the structure of board
by Guest ratbag- 3 replies
- 2.2k views
Firstly, I am obviously aware of that members can choose to view 'unseen' boards by subscription and as Admin I can create member groups that see certain boards and not others etc. I just want to float an idea and see what develops.... A new member registers and sees the structure of the board like this: Category: Sport ---Forum 1 Football ---Forum 2 Rugby ---Forum 3 Cricket Category: Entertainment ---Forum 1 TV ---Forum 2 Radio ---Forum 3 Video Games The member decides that he doesnt like the idea of all these different forums and instead prefers to have all sport in one Forum and the TV and Radio Forums he wants to see as one Forum. so he sees t…

Total attachment size
by Guest Sebastian Mares- 0 replies

Hello! I think it would be useful to add an option for setting the total amount of space to use for all attachments, photographies and avatars. AFAIK, one can only set the limit for attachments on a per-group basis. Regards, Sebastian

Suggestion for the trash can
by Guest Sebastian Mares- 4 replies
- 2.8k views
Hi! While browsing on the Internet, I found a vB forum having this neat feature: if a post is moved to the recycle bin, only the admins/mods/super mods and the thread starter have access to the respective thread. In this way, if the moderators feel more clarification is needed to determine if the subject is in violation of the posting guidelines, they can move it to recycle bin and still be able to communicate with the thread starter.

Ipb-wap (xml)
by Guest ChupaCabra- 3 replies
- 2.3k views
Is there anyway so Ipb would work on internet and on wap let's say you've got domain www.nothing.com (this would be the main domain of the invision board) and then you'd had wap.nothing.com (there should be the wap part xml documents) and if you'd write in main domain nothing.com (if you make post there) the post should appear on wap and contrary the wap think should be without any pics ofcourse (something like lofi version) if ipb had this feature i'd buy it right away (and many others would as well) regards and i hope you'll consider my proposition

Announcements not showing as unread
by Guest Stuart Elliott- 0 replies
- 1.8k views
Announcements are meant to be the highest priority comment a forum can have by my reckoning, with their positioning above Pinned topics et al. However, they are easily missed due to their lack of a Read/Unread flag, or their inclusion in Last Post Info on forum "parents". Would it be possible to have Announcements have the above adjustments please.

Signatures in Private Messages

As originally posted here, I would like to see a tick box, somewhat similar to the one available when posting a forum message to enable/disable inclusion of a persons signature in Private Messaging.

Posting Right Per Group
by Guest Baby Jai- 1 reply
- 1.7k views
I think it would be a good idea, to seperate rights for posting per each group, but by default its set the way it is now, but what you can do is only allow Moderators to post the bbcode, or certain bbcode in a post, this way it stops the spammers that are new members from posting stupid stuff. There could be other reasons in itself to make the IPB board by default like this

Page number table

Very minor suggestion, but thought it'd be nice to have the actual page number table cell have an onclick tag rather than just the number inside being the page link. Just my $.02 :)

Low Fi attachments

I noticed when I was viewing my board with the low fi version, it would show images posted but not attachments. I thought it'd be a good idea to get them to show up.

Attachment managing options
by Guest Sekani- 1 reply
- 2k views
If I'm missing this let me know, but I can't find any way to obtain two pieces of information that are VERY important to me and my attachment-heavy website. 1. How many attachments a particular user has 2. How much total webspace is being taken up by a particular user's attachments As of now, the only way I know of to find out that information is by logging in to their account and going into their User CP myself :ph34r: (Kidding, I wouldn't really do that.) Still, hopefully this is something under consideration for a future release.

Ban button
by Guest Mod Hack Skin- 8 replies
- 3k views
I think you get my point: SCRAP THE WARNING SYSTEM, WE NEED A BAN BUTTON. And I'm 100% sure the majority agrees with me. Right now, the only way to TRULY BAN SOMEONE (not suspend) is with the aid of an unstable mod at invisionize that grants Moderators limited access to the AdminCP, so they can move the selected individual into the "Banned" group they've set up. IPB can't not know this... It's just not possible.

Import Members
by Guest Jasonawojo- 0 replies

I think it would be useful to be able to import a list of members from an .xml file. Would make pre-adding a large number of users much easier.

Read-Only Forums
by Guest Why Two Kay- 0 replies
- 1.6k views
I would like the ability for Admins to be able to make replies and new topics in a read-only forum. I use Read-Only as my trash-can and it helps to be able to post, but not let others post, but not just use permissions masking.

Custom provide fields using regular expressions
by Guest Hancoque- 0 replies
- 1.9k views
I saw it in vBulletin and really see a use in it. At the moment you can only define the maximum length of a field entry and what exact format it must be, but that is very limited. In my specific case I'd like to make sure that every entry has a maximum of 12 characters with the first being upper case and all the others lower case. No special characters shall be allowed. With regular expressions it would be much easier to prevent people from entering invalid information. I think it should't be very difficult to add an optional regex form field in the ACP custom profile field section that is just ignored if left empty. The syntax that is entered there is then directly used …

Deafult text for new topic
by Guest a2b2c2d- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
You should make it so that you can set the default text of a new topic. This is helpful for forum's that have sections for reporting bugs and want to display a template of information for them to fill in. How are people doing this currently??

Both Validation Options
by Guest Why Two Kay- 1 reply
- 1.9k views
I think it would be nice if we had the ability to have to Admin-Accept all new users, and they would have to reply to an e-mail, from the address they gave us, after we validate them. We recently had a user join our forums, posing as another previous user. We Admin validated him, but he lied about the e-mail to appear as the other user. So, I think it would be a good idea to be able to do both. :thumbsup:

Creating multiple forums/sub-forums at once
by Guest Dr. Bongoots- 1 reply
- 1.8k views
I posted this yesterday in the IPB Support forum.. but it deserves a better home in here. Any thoughts on being able to create multiple forums at once? I need to create a heap of forums that are all the same and the name of each forum is the only thing that changes. Why should I have to create every single one of them laboriously by hand, when there should be an option to create more than one at a time, e.g. using a textarea where each new line is the name of a forum. I'd like to just set the parent category/forum, list all the names and then set permissions. Voila! - I'd have like 30 odd forums created at once. In some cases I need to do 50 forums at once and it ca…

IPB v2.1.0 Feature Suggestions
by Guest .John- 20 replies
- 6.8k views
I have been thinking of some new features that could be included in Invision Power Board version 2.1.0. Here are some features that came up with. 1. Skin Set Catagories This feature would allow different catagories of skins to show in the Skin Selector. For example, I could have a catagory for "Light" skins and "Dark" skins and all skins that fit in the catagory would be included. This feature would help boards will a large amaount of skins. 2. PM Read Notification This feature would allow a user who has sent a PM can be notified if the user who recieved the PM has read it. 3. Link Directory This feature would display a few links under that copyright. 4. Po…

New PM Style
by Guest websurfer- 18 replies
- 8.2k views
I was thinking, instead of all the quoting in PMs, it would be really nice if the PM feature would show like a topic did, with replies on pages, and not a new message each time. Maybe an admin setting could set how many messages were allowed per PM? I don't know, just a thought, it'd be a very nice addition :)

Moderating Staff List
by Guest jpjsjsjspjpj- 3 replies
- 2.6k views
A good feature would be having the option to display certain members or groups on the Moderating Staff page or not. So in the ACP you could choose what members and groups you want and don't want displayed. On my board, we have a "Board Coder" who has admin permissions but I don't really want his username to appear on the list. Get what I'm saying?

skinning sucks and needs to be FIXED
by Guest pk62004- 5 replies
- 2.4k views
I just spent the last 3 hours trying to skin my board, and have to say it needs some imporvement. I'ved used a VB on one of my forum and never had so much problem as I do with ib. perhaps break it down into THREE parts instead of lumping all the elements together? maybe section one could be: forum index. section 2 could be topic view. section 3 could be board index. when I want to edit the signature field, i have to search through ALL of the classes just just to find the signature class. <_< Hope you guys find a way to make it easier to skin... I guess I'm the only one on this board who doesn't like the current skinning setup?
