I think making forum links search engine friendly is important too.

I guess reading forums via e-mail (instant or digest) will be good for people aren't going to the forum that often can also read the contents of the topic and replys.

SQL Connection Error Redirect
by Guest notacake- 0 replies
- 3.7k views
I'm pretty sure there's not an option for this at the moment (please tell me if I'm wrong) but could there be an option for redirecting users to an error page if the forum cannot connect to the SQL database instead of coming up with the SQL error. All it would take is checking for mysql_connect() returning 0 then redirecting to somewhere. How could I do this myself? (I'm not that experienced with PHP)

HTML as default
by Guest Keven Fox- 6 replies
- 5.1k views
I've asked how to make it default before, but got no response. So I'm thinking it's not an option at this point. So I'd like to suggest it be an option. For those who don't know what I mean, you can allow certain groups to post HTML, and when they have that choice under a post they create they will see 3 options: HTML Off HTML ON - Raw Linebreak Mode HTML On - Auto Linebreak Mode

View New Posts

When using "View New Posts" it does not display the little bracket if you've replied to a particular post there. Viewing the forums index shows those brackets. It would be very good to have those brackets shown when using View New Ports or any of the search functions in general.

Could we see a feature where you can select more then one file when you attach to a post? Some of mine have like 10 pictures and it's a pain going through each one. Or would this be impossible to do?

"Add Birthday" option to calendar
by Guest Xandur- 4 replies
- 4.6k views
I have a simple family site that my entire family uses. Unfortunately, my parents use the same login "Mom.Dad". Because of that, they cannot add both their birthdays and have them work properly in the calendar (ie, automatically figuring out age). I'd like to see a way to integrate an "add birthday" option inside the "add event" screen that would allow an admin to add birthdays. Also, this feature would be helpful as I have 3 and 4 year old nephews who are to young to have their own login (therefore cannot use the birthday option in the profile) that I'd like to add to the calendar so peeps know when to get them cards. Adding an "add birthday" option would allow pee…

Another option for new users registering
by Guest Vatoloco- 5 replies
- 6.9k views
I would like to see an option for registration where you can use "Pre-email Validation" Basically what it would do is when a user clicks to register on your forums it just gives them a message to send an e-mail to newuser@yoursite.com and then when they send the e-mail Invision Board automatically responds with a link that lets them actually create the account.

Login via username -or- email
by Guest Wolfie- 5 replies
- 5.9k views
Admin selectable option [] Username [] Email [] Either [] Both First two are already available.. Updating the login via email though, if there is more than one account with the same email address, which ever the email & password combination match up is the account it would use. If more than one matches both, then a screen where the member could select which user name to use. "Either" would be where the member could use either their username -or- their email (by their choice), which would be useful if they are on multiple IPB forums but using a different name on each. "Both" would be where both the user name AND email are required for logging in, which co…

Upgraded "importing" features
by Guest Wolfie- 0 replies
- 3.7k views
Put simply (although may be more difficult to actually make).. Importing (and heck, exporting?) skins/images/emoticons from/to another site.. For importing emoticons, can either import an XML/archived file from another site, or "upload" a new emoticon by giving the url to it (and optionally giving it a name during the upload) so that it grabs the emoticon from a website instead of from your computer. Also a button to do a raw paste of files/urls to upload.. D:\emoticons\file1.gif file2.gif file3.gif D:\emots2\file4.gif file5.gif http://www.somesite.com/emoticons/file6.gif file7.gif::Once a directory is given, all files after that are read from the same locati…

When a user uses the report a post feature, the post should be made invisible automaticly, and can be made visible when a mod has checked it.

Multi-Moderation Settings for the Calendar
by Guest Lord_Gradient- 0 replies
- 3.7k views
The ability to set up topic multi-moderations which are usable only on the calendar. For example, you could create an automated message and then apply it whenever you need to (i.e. a work-schedule one that lists your hours; useful if the days you work change often). There are many more uses to this. Just a thought ^_~

I have found that when I try and set up the forum on a server, it is very complicated. I try and import a SQL database but I keep getting permission errors. Is it just me, or is there a problem here that needs fixing?

At this moment, each time I make a subforum, i have to set up the permissionmasks, moderators, settings, etc for it. Wouldn't it be more logical if it automaticly inherits it's parent's settings?

Why cant i see in topic view or forum view for which topics/forums i have been subscribed? I think a little icon in front of each topic/forum you have been subscribed would help a lot.

topic views counter
by Guest jlin- 11 replies
- 7.3k views
I noticed something strange about the topic views counter. The counter increases every time I refresh the page within a topic and every time I view the topic even when there are no new posts; and when I post messages in topics, the counter increases by 2 (that is, one while viewing before posting and another when I'm sent back to the topic after making the post). Some people lurk in topics and refresh to see if there are any new posts or if there is anyone that's entred the topic; this leads to misleading topic view counts. Is there any way to have the view count *not* increase when the same user views the topic more than once when there are no new posts?

Usergroup colours
by Guest Cheule- 0 replies
- 4.2k views
I love the feature in the Users And Groups section where you can colourize the Member groups as has been done here at IPS. I've been running a single board with a single skin for some time now and made full use of this feature with no problems. But while making a second skin this week, the limitations have hit me. Would it be possible to move this feature from the Users and Groups section and include it in the Skinning section instead? That way, you can have different colours based on the skin that the members are using. For example, licensed customers here have a nice red colour which works well enough, but what if IPS gave us a red-based skin as an option? Most of the…

2.1 Suggestions
by Guest wikel- 3 replies
- 4.8k views
Would be nice if the search function would display not only the forum but also the parent cat that the topic resides in. When you have cats with the same structure underneath them, you are forced to put the cat name in the forum name or the search output is worthless. I might have 20 different general discussions for different cats, but them all show in search as being under "General Discusion"... question is WHICH ONE?

More bot control.
by Guest [GS] HiTMaN- 3 replies
- 5.1k views
It would be nice if you could specify per forum whether or not a bot such as googlebot should index that particular forum. Personally, I have a few such as Just Chit Chat that I would perfer just not burden the bots with. This would also reduce the bandwith used by search engine spiders. :thumbsup:
