Suggestion: Validating accounts
by Guest genes|s- 8 replies
- 4.2k views
There's an option to set x number of days to remove these validating registrations. There should also be an option to put these members into a different group, like banned after x number of days. It helps maintain the number of users vs user number.

Automatic posting

Hi I want to implement a IPB into my news system. If I post a new article there should be a topic in the forum too with the same headline and text. So I need to call the post function somehow to add a topic to the database of the Board. Can anybody give me a hint how to do that ? :charles:

Past events on main
by Guest ZainZ- 1 reply
- 2.6k views
Suggestion 1. There should be an option through which admins can control the "remote images" used in signatures of the users. becasue some users when link to remote images in their signatures, the size and dimensions of the remote image can sometimes interfere with the board's layout. So an option which allows the admin(s) to restrict the dimensions and size of the images used in signatures should be made available :rolleyes: Suggestion 2. Just as IPB displays the forthcoming events to x no. of days, it should also have the option to display the no. of PAST events to x no. of days. e.g. Past events in 60 days blah blah... Sometimes, we need users to know what has a…

Featur Suggestion

I still remember this back when I had my invisionfree board. In the mod options it had an option to bump topics, and I was disappointed to see this feature still left out in version 2.0. :( Its quite useful, I used it a lot to reorder pinned topics (Locked Pinned topics also)

No edit for birthday in Admin CP?
by Guest K. T. Walrus- 11 replies

I went to edit the birthday for one of my members and I couldn't find any birthday editing support in the Admin CP. Is this just missing? I went to PhpMyAdmin and made the change, but it seems to me that all profile fields should be editable by the board admin.

HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (w00t) (first post here :D) I've got 2 questions here. First one is about emoticons. I can't seem to upload anyone. When I go to Administration, Manage Emoticons, "Upload an Emoticon to the emoticons directory" and upload my emoticon, I just get the message: "The upload failed". I don't know what to do here, because I don't know where the prob is. Anyone who does know? Second: [shot] tags. I want images to be resized using these, but I don't know how to add the tags. Is there a possibility to add them? Jrubzjeknf

I just upgraded to IPB 2 and like it so far. I have had a few members ask what the reasoning was for there not to be a reply to all feature in the PM system. What should I tell them?

I have a couple of users who always seem to have full mailboxes on my boards. Is it possible for the admin group to send them messages and override their maximum number of messages?

Banned and Validating Members
by Guest Sonic98- 8 replies
- 5.1k views
If someone is in these two groups, wouldn't it make sense for these 2 primary groups to override any permissions masks or secondary groups. I just moved my 2nd name to the validating group, and I'm still able to do all the stuff I was able to do before. Something needs to be done to keep group options and masks from cancelling each other. There needs to be an option for each group like "can permission masks other than default override this group?" or something like that. I also think the same should be true of of secondary member groups. There should also be an "can secondary member groups override this permission mask?" Or at least an option to choose which options to…

Rate or Flag individual threads
by Guest Sire- 7 replies
- 4.5k views
I need to be able to extract threads after members have ranked them or selected them for publishing. I could do this with a custom query if the ability to rate threads was built-in but it isn't. What I'm looking for, is the ability to select the Top 10 threads created each month with a query. Either that, or an easy way for the admin/moderator to flag a thread as one of the month's best threads, so that a simple query could extract it.

i would like to see a little remote control type feature that you can see the latest topics in even when you are not on the forum. http://www.futuremark.com/ has this on their forums and it is very useful. Would love to see this for invisionboard. this feature would be great for your members to see whats happening on your forums without being on the forums.

Moderator groups
by Guest Wolfie- 4 replies
- 4.6k views
Sort of like setting a user group to be moderators of a forum, but in a reverse fashion. Let's say, Forum Control -> Moderator Groups When you add a moderator group, you set up all the options that moderator group has and to which forums. Then for each member, you can select them to have 1 or more (if any at all) moderator group access. The benefit is that if you want to remove a certain power (or add a certain power) to a moderator group, it will be in effect for ALL of the forums they have access to. Would also be nice to have an option like "Automatically include any new child forums created?" - example: Cooking forum, with the option selected, and a new…

Admin option to force member to change e-mail
by Guest Vatoloco- 8 replies
- 5.2k views
I have a large board and the number of members now with outdated e-mails is getting annoying because of all the bounce backs I get every day. Currently, when I get a mailer-daemon I've been loading up the adminCP, finding the member then running these SQL queries to delete them from e-mail tracking: DELETE FROM ibf_tracker WHERE member_id=9999 DELETE FROM ibf_forum_tracker WHERE member_id=9999 Of course changing the 9999 to whatever there member number is. And I'm not really sure how the PM tracking works, so when I get a bounceback for new pm notifications, I just go in and find all the PM's where the mt_tracking field is 1 and change it to 0. SELECT * FROM ibf…

How about a tool that will take the current CSS layout, and an existing one (not meant for that board version) copy all the information that's compatable over, try to convert what's left and use the default for what it can't fix?

Per Member Daily Upload Limit
by Guest Amir2090- 4 replies
- 4.6k views
I run a board (1.3.1) in which many users post pictures. It's fun and useful but the risk of encountering abuses always occurs, and the whole board turns to a few users' pic gallery and to a waste of webspace. It would be great to find out a way to limit each user's permission to upload a pre-defined number of uploads per day, or even better, per topic. Would this be possible at all?

I would like to see a feature in the task manager that allows the option to have the bulk email system send a message at specified intervals automatically. For instance I would like the system to send a welcome message to all new members each day. Currently I would have to run this manually. Is the feature possible? Thanks,

Favorites, Custom forum layout suggestion
by Guest Sire- 1 reply
- 3.8k views
ust something of a suggestion for future releases and consideration. We have collapsible categories now. It made me think about members being interested in only a handful of forums. It would be amazing if they could create their own index page of favorites, and reorder them. A custom index. So for example my own custom index page might be: INVISION BOARD SOFTWARE - / Company Product and Services Feedback - / IPS Customer Chat - / IPS Customers' Hints and Tips - / IPS Customer Feedback So just those 4 forums would show up for me. With an option to VIEW ALL perhaps.

i've a suggestion. it'd be nice if there's an option to allow certain usergroups to select skins. 'cause whenever i want to test a new skin, i have to go back to the gen conf to turn on the option "allow members to select skins" ... or make that new skin default for all members. this and download links/attachment files viewable by only certain usergroups as well.

Member Team Icon
by Guest krocheck- 4 replies
- 5.4k views
Something I have wanted to do was define a different group icon for each of my staff members, as most have tasks other then admin or mod. We have news, information, media, and interation staff as well. Rather than having to make a new group for the staff for each group icon I want, I would rather like to go into that staff member's profile in ACP and define a group icon for the individual staffer. Subsequently, I could make one group called 'Staff' (with the exception of Admins) so it would be easier for members to find the staffer they are looking for. Confused? Keith
