What about custom "Viewing Topic:" messages when you click Last Click? Create your own when members are doing certain things, Yay or Nay?

Images with The Moderating Team
by Guest SkipperEV- 3 replies
- 2.1k views
How about make it so in "The Moderating Team" section, allow your personal photo (or another one) to be there to make forums friendlier? Or taking it one step further, allow an "About Me" bit, so Staff and Admins can add a bit about themself? Just a thought.

A couple of things about attachments
by Guest Telemacus- 1 reply
- 1.9k views
Suggestion number 1: Whenever I attach an image to a post, it always appears at the end of the message. Sometimes I wish it appeared at the top instead. I know I can use the [image] code instead, but that requires that I upload the image somewhere first, making the process rather slow. Suggestion number 2: When I use the upload feature and then that message is used in my web's front page, using ssi, the image never appears. (I know I could use the [image] code instead again, but it's much slower). Cheers.

Suggest change to the group permissions
by Guest Eschumac- 7 replies
- 3k views
I'd like to suggest a change in the way group membership/permissions are handled. I'd like to see group membership and permissions be handled using bitwise operations. I suggest taking the ibf_groups table and splitting into two tables. Leave ibf_groups with two colums. g_title, g_group_mask ..Then take most of the the other columns in the present ipf_groups table and create another table like ipf_permissions with two columns g_permission, g_permission_mask And then change the mgroup column in the ibf_members to use a group mask. Now, g_title in the ibf_groups table would be the same as it is today. The g_group_mask would be a number that would represent on…

PIPs
by Guest cthree- 1 reply
- 2k views
I'd like more choice about how I show pips. Pips per group (different colors, icons). Pips based on age (one per year). I have been adding stars to my subscribers using group icons with a custom hack to repeat the icon once for every year or part they have been members. It would be nice if this was built in.

Show PM response status
by Guest cthree- 1 reply
- 2k views
I'd like to know which PMs I have replied to and which I forwarded. read/unread is not enough information to manage my PM inbox. I'd like to be able to archive LARGE chunks of PMs, like all PMs over 6 months old, potentially thousands in one shot and have the user downloaded them. The current PM archival and download isn't big enough. I would like to select more then a single page of PMs at a time. If I want to select 500 PMS to move to a folder it could take over an hour to do it page by page. My members have 1.5million PMs in the database or about 1000 each. I want to search PMs. Look for a PM in my inbox from a certain member or containing certain text. Add fullt…

View PM Activity by Member
by Guest Kasha- 1 reply
- 1.9k views
Right now, to the best of my knowledge, the only stat or tracking function available for PMs is the one that lets you see how many were sent, board-wide, on a given day. What would be helpful for us is the ability to see how many PMs are being sent by a given member. A former admin told me that an earlier version of the software included this feature, but it's no longer available in 2.0. Our board could use it because we have some members who join solely or mainly for the purpose of gaining access to others who share their interests. :shifty: They don't want to post, just use their PM privileges for self-serving ends. We don't want to be taken advantage of in this…

Location of "Search" box...
by Guest jergolfer- 2 replies
- 2k views
After trying to decided what board to purchase vb vs. ipd as a user I have found that in vb it is very, very convenient how they have a drop down search box at the top of every page whether it is the main forum page or a topic/thread page. I am brand new to these boards but that is the one thing I noticed right away when comparing the two. They both have options like - track, email, print, display options so the only thing ipd is missing is that nice little search box on TOP! Is this customizable via mods? admin? or skins? Jer, :-" thinking of purchasing the entire suite of ipb goodies like board, blog, gallery, chat, for new travel site for disabled travelers. I …

Let posters indicate if they waive copyright
by Guest RogerKni- 3 replies
- 2.6k views
Let users indicate in their placard the degree to which others may quote-and-post their remarks elsewhere. This would be set in their control panel, not in every individual post. (Unless specifically overridden in that post?) Some users would want to explicitly OK every request, some would give an OK to only certain sorts of postings (eg non-commercial uses), and some would allow unrestricted quoting. (This idea needs refinement--I'm not familiar with the nitty-gritty of this topic.) EDIT: Some users might have a setting that said in effect: "You may quote freely, just notify me by PM with a link to the place you've quoted me.") This permission-info might bett…

Average number of users online
by Guest civ- 1 reply
- 2k views
For those with busy boards it would be a cool item to be able to diplay an 'Average number of users online' much like the 'Most users ever online' item down in the stats area. It should be rather trivial to include - just make it an on/off option in the admincp, as well as maybe give the admin an option of the time of day to take a sample. It would be a perfect task for the Task Manager. I don't think any other BB software out there has this, so let's set ourselves apart! :)

[tiny bug] HTML entity not finished?
by Guest _- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
Sorry if I'm not allowed to post this. If you create a new PM folder and name it [for instance] '<test', it turns out as '<test'. It's missing the ; to look correct. Usually it'd be '<test' showing up as '<test'. I don't have the code, so I can't make a fix. I'll leave that up to you. :lol:

Forum Skins By User Groups
by Guest vpinto- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
Hi folks, Another feature I'd love to see is having the ability to assign Category or Forum skin colours by User Group. For example, if I have 10 Categories on my board with the default blu skin, but one of those Categories is only visible to members of "VIP Group", it would be great if I could select a different colour for that Category skin (e.g. Pink or Grey), so that it stands out more prominently. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Search Location Field in IPB v2.0.3
by Guest vpinto- 0 replies
- 1.7k 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?

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
- 2.5k 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

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
- 1.9k 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.
