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
- 1.9k 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
- 6.9k 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
- 8.3k 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
- 2.7k 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
- 2.5k 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?

The 'new PM' alert...
by Guest Dan- 4 replies
- 2.4k views
It's only a minor suggestion and is also a very easy modification should you not want to add it, but I would like to see the option to have that pretty little 'new PM' alert show up in a pop-up. I would like to keep it as an option for users to use the current system, but it would be nice to see it able to show in a pop-up - mainly because I am terrible for missing PM's! :-"

Karma / Points / User-User rating system
by Guest Ashen- 11 replies
- 7.6k views
Ok, I've looked around so far, and I can't find a karma/points mod that does what I need, can you help me? Here's the list of the things the mod must do : 1) Users must rate each other, and the combination of everybody's rating must determine a user's karma score. 2) The ratings must be by a user, on another user. This is user rating, not post or topic rating. 3) Users must not be able to rate themselves. 4) The higher a user is rated, the more their rating counts in determining somebody elses score. Ideally it would be configurable, so that the admin of a forum could set how much more somebody with a high karma score's vote counted then somebody with a low or negat…

ROOT Admin Permissions
by Guest Logan- 14 replies
- 7.7k views
Hello, I know this has been suggested before but I just want to explain why it is so important. Imagine you had like what IPS has , IPS Management is the root admin group. Ok, But say they had a few members they didn't want to access a few things. The reg. key, SQL Toolbox etc... So you make a whole new group called Co-Management. Why? What would be the point. So what I am trying to say is, We need to set specific user-based permissions for ROOT admin group users. The main account like the first one, if possible. Set it as it has ALL permissions and no one else can edit it. Being able to customize the root admin users permissions individually via their user profile …

CSS Easy Mode
by Guest Hancoque- 1 reply
- 2.2k views
For a simple color conversion it seems to be a good choice to use the easy mode for editing the CSS instead of the advanced mode. But I'd like to suggest some improvements. Not all background colors are recognized: Most background colors in the default stylesheet are definded by "background" rather than "background-color" entries, but the easy mode only recognizes "background-color" entries. There are two approaches to fix this. Either you could provide a stylesheet that always uses "background-color" or you could advance your parsing script to recognize colors also in "background" entries. The latter would be the better way, because people wouldn't have to update thei…

Automatic warning expiry
by Guest RavenRaz- 3 replies
- 2.4k views
Would it possible to add a time limit for warnings - so that the warning will decrease if after a set period of time. At the moment it is left to moderators to manually decrease warnings which is cumbersome on boards with many members. An automatic option would be greatly appreciated.

IP bans for a limited period of time
by Guest RavenRaz- 5 replies
- 2.6k views
Often it is necessary to ban an IP when you ban a username to prevent the person simply making a new account and returning to the board. Its great that username bans expire automatically but then you have to remember to unban the IP address (and find out which IP it was in the ban filters). It would be great if an option to IP ban could be added to the Warn/ban system and suspend system in admin CP so they are banned and expired at the same time as the username. Obviously this should be flexible enough to allow you to select which IP or IP ranges you want to ban. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Poster and Staff forum

Saw this on another forum software, but I'd LOVE to have it where I can set a forum where people can post and only they (and staff) can see the post. This would be a great alternative to PMing staff about certain issues.

Global Warning and Profile Editing
by Guest eyedam- 2 replies
- 2.1k views
Hello! Currently only admins (and super-moderators) have ability to warn members from their profile pages and edit their profiles. I suggest these to be added as optional privileges for any moderator. In addition, there was a profile editing privilege in version 1.3. Why did you have to remove it?! And the warning ability only from the forums the member is moderating is a good, logical feature, and it had to be like that from the very beginning. However, I suggest you create an additional optional privilege to allow to warn members from any forum (even from those where the particular member is not a moderator of) and the member's profile page. Also, if I'm not mis…

Can we have the ability to specify Deny access on a permission mask? This would be a great option as it would make it easier to allow/deny access to forums. Deny masks explained.

I visit a couple of Invision boards. At one, if I do a "View New Posts", and then Log Off, they disappear when I come back. Is there a way, some kind of board setting or SQL parm perhaps, that can be set so that "View New Posts" has a better memory?

PM Archive sort
by Guest sboulema- 3 replies
- 2.4k views
In 1.3.1 the PM's in a HTML archive where sorted chronologically and it was reall easy to follow a conversation in the archive. Now in 2.0.0 and higher the HTML archive is different. It now sorts the PM's per folder and its really difficult to follow a conversation. And the css of the HTML archive was missing some parts, for the quote parts and other stuff. This was in 2.0.1 and i fixed it myself, dont know if its still in 2.0.2 But i hope the sort order can be changed back to the way it was in 1.3.1

Auto-Updater

- 3k views
Ok i'm sure you've prolly gotten at least one thread with this suggestion but i really didn't feel like thread hunting :P if anyone knows how the WebHost Manager of cPanel works, they will know what I'm talking about. cPanel comes with a button that just says "Upgrade". when you click it, it goes and auto-retrieves the latest update from cpanel and installs it to the server. it also goes and gets server software updates, but i dont expect that lol. my suggestion is quite obvious from the previously stated info. I suggest there simply be an upgrade script that actually retrieves the latest IPB package and installs it. of course it would check licensing as well before i…
