How about for the bot log(s) it tells you how mant total hits you have? I have had over 4 bots vist my Technologyforum. 2 have been MSN, both with over 2000 hits. The google bot over 1000 (I think) and 2 others with less then 10. Total that's more then 8k (thousands) but what if I got more bots and more hits. I wouldn't want to total all those hits together right?

Joining a Groups... 1 2
by Guest SLicK CaPoNe- 26 replies

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the "groups" feature, but not sure if the latest version uses it (excuse my ignorance). I remember phpBB had a feature, where users could go and subscribe to a group (even multiple groups), and access certain pages just for being a member of that group, instead of typing the password EACH time, and making bunch of different 'groups' to give different people different access; all that is time consuming. I really loved that feature about phpBB. EACH user was unique. I hate the idea of having users type in passwords, and sometimes that could head in the wrong direction as well. People could give out passwords, and grant access to peopl…

I would personally love an option to have "Multi-Mods" for PM's to quickly respond to users. For example if someone PM'd me regarding a staff position i could click the multi mod to reply with the form and info etc.. in PM. Would make things a lot easier for me for a lot of situations. Any of you lot agree ?

Forum listbox in new topic screen
by Guest ..zapper- 1 reply
- 2.5k views
I'd really like to see the possibility for a listbox in the new topic screen where users can select the forum where they want to post the topic. If forumnumber is unknown or Actives forum, it should say 'select a forum' and if no forum is selected it should raise an error. This would really help us cause users many times don't look were they are starting a topic, not cause they are blind, but cause they are just to lazy to browse to the correct forum before the make their topic.

New 'devolved' admin to members
by Guest inventaur- 1 reply
- 2.4k views
I'd like to see postings emerge where the topic starter can re-arrange replies and put them together in another posting, so that more dynamic replies can be assembled in the case of on-line web authoring. This could be arranged through a request to transfer the topic or copy it by the starter. This folder would have its own features allowing polls and its own menu. Polls that are more dynamic - longer poll questions, pop up explnations, and other polls methods for getting combinations of data, which is also databased to members and groups. I see a big future for dynamic polls on the web. Pay per memory use feature automatically set up, so posters can pre-buy chunks of…

Start a topic automatically
by Guest datoufish- 3 replies
- 2.3k views
Hi, I wanna to know how to do this in IPB. Say, I have many articles, users can give reviews to each article. By clicking a link, say "Users reviews", a IPB topic is started automatically. The title of the topic could be "Review to 'Title of the article'". Anonymous can post in the forum so users are not required to register to post reviews. Duplicated entries are not allowed. So you will not see two entries with the same title, say, Review to Google Hacks. Any API or example to implement this function? :-"

Members submitting moderated posts
by Guest K. T. Walrus- 19 replies
- 5.3k views
(I posted this in another forum, but just realized it should go here so I'm posting it again here). The current IPB behavior after a member makes a post to a moderated forum is really starting to annoy me. Right now, all you get, from the member's point of view, is the Thanks page that quickly is replaced and the post is no longer visible to the member until it is approved. What should happen is that queued posts submitted a member are visible to that member even if it has yet to be moderated. I suggest a new RenderRow template or a parameter to the existing template that marks (e.g., a different row color) the queued post so it is clear to the member that the post …

IPB Portal Hidden From Guests

- 5.3k views
I have a simple family website and my members value their privacy above all else. Under security options, I have "Force guests to log in before allowing access to the board?" set to YES. Unfortunately, any Joe Schmoe can see the IPB portal page without logging in. Please make an option that makes the IPB Portal also force guests to log in before allowing access. Thanks!

It would be nice to see a feature in admin cp where you can upload a font and have it embedded in the server side so anyone can post/view in a font other than the plain ones they are stuck with now.

Exclude groups from Subscription "group" upgrade

I use subscription manager and give members a better group with better settings when they subscribe, but I would like to see a feature that allows me to prevent specific groups from being upgraded. As it is now I'm afraid if an administrator buys a subscription they will lose their administratorship hehe

PM Address book?

There should be a way to easily select multiple users to send a PM to. I often send PM's to 10 or so members at a time and it would be nice to be able to have your buddy list pop-up so that you can select the members to send the PM to without having to type their usernames in each time. Thanks!

No biggy but I use tabbed browsing, and I'd like to see where the title of the AdminCP is something other then "Invision Power Board Admi..." on the tab when I often have Invision Power Board also open on another. Perhaps it could be something like "Admin - Invison Power Board" Like I said just a little thing but thought I'd bring it up.

Social Networking type system like Friendster.com
by Guest nexthostbiz- 3 replies
- 3.1k views
Is it really hard for IPB to add the functionality of Friendster.com or Myspace.com or any of the many other social networking systems out there? Basically it just allows any of the members in the system to be able to refer others to sign up to join the site. And then remember the geneology of who referred who to expand the user base of the site. This will go very well with the converge setup since sites members can be linked. Personally i think this functionality should be a base functionality of IPB, but at the least it should be a simple addon product to the blogging or CMS system. Which btw i am VERY curious if there are any updates on when the latest release …
