Signatures Feature Revised

Was curious if possible to revise the signature option so that when a user creates a signature it is added to his future posts and not posts prior to the signature creation? Or maybe an admin option to allow either or case? Thanks

Component's not being able to modify IPB's code
by Guest Brandon D- 3 replies
- 2.4k views
I've read where several IPS staff members have stated that their components are not allowed to modify IPB's code. May I ask why? In this post I'll talk about the gallery as it's the one I have the most experience with, but this pertains to any of the components. It can't be a matter of 'our customers may not have x component installed' because it's quite easy to detect if a component is installed. The whole idea of not integrating it within the board greatly reduces the usefulness of these components. Off the top of my head I can think of three suggestions for integrating the gallery within the board that would immensely increase the exposure of the gallery. Changing th…

User Notices

I know that some people might not like the fact that I am going to suggest a new feature just because I saw it on another software, but it is a really cool idea and something I think forums will use. Click: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.ph...mp;postcount=15 I normally mod my skin for similar effects, but it is something which a lot of people do too, or ask how to do, or wish they could do. (I'm sure most people have checked out the thread this is in, but to be honest, it was the only feature worth mentioning...)

Need help Renewing one of my old Licenses
by Guest N.U.- 2 replies
- 1.1k views
First off sorry if this is the wrong forum. However I wasn't sure where to post this. I would like to renew one of my IP.Boards so that I can get upgrades for it and open a new site. As I have three of them (all expired) One of them is very much still active, the other two I'm merging together (even know the one has been closed for some time). I don't want to have to renew all three of them to get the one I want like I did last time. Its a waste of money on my part. When I login it only shows them by their ID's which I have no idea which is which. I remember that you where able to label them by a name, so that you knew which one was which. But once it goes inactive that…

Few things i hope that will be added by the time 3.0 comes out
by Guest Vince G.- 5 replies
- 1.7k views
I know some of those were already requested before but i just wanted to make sure. I hope that IPS staff takes the modification authors and contributers into consideration since they take a big part of IPS general successes. I mean they are the one who enhance the board further then what it's already have. So i was thinking of those to make 'our' (Modifications Authors) lifes easier and by that making yours (IPS's) easier. So here is a quick list i thought while using IPB. * Components System - Great, Awesome thing to have. Makes coding so much easier and less file edits. One thing is missing tough it's small but still.. ability to re order the components links wit…

Suggestion #1: Online / Offline Status... Sure, there's a nice "Forum Led By:" showing us all the moderators. *BUT*, how about show their online status as well. ------ Suggestion #2: Show "Forum Led By:" moderators INSIDE the forum as well. You know where the the topic icon legend is... yeah... show the "Forum Led by:" moderators right around there... and also indicate their online status. ----- Benefit: This will make contacting the RIGHT moderators easier for members. I've had too many users send PMs to inactive moderators, or moderators that just went offline an hour ago and won't login for another day. ---- (You may be saying, "Why don't you just colorize t…

Encode IPB 1 2
by Guest Quick- 39 replies
- 9.2k views
In my opinion IPB should encode some of the source code to reduce piracy. You can never eliminate piracy, but you can certainly minimize it to a point where the company isn't loosing a major amount of money. A few suggestions: [*]Installer and SQL encoding - Require domain from IPS which license is intended to be installed on upon installation, easiser so IPS doesn't have to contact the majority of hosts to get the site shut down [*]Secondary Check - Embedded inside IPB that checks if the domain name is the same as the one on the IPS database every few days and will then report it to IPS. If installer is breached then the secondary installer will stop the board from …

Hi I would like to see local date support in IPB. I know you can acheive it by hacking the code... but if you have an option for language files I think you should also have an option for localized date formats.

Has IPS ever considered ...

Has IPS ever considered having optional downloads of Ioncube encoded software without the huge folder of .so and .dll files for those of us who have Ioncube installed on our server? It would save both me and you bandwidth and means I don't have to remove the ioncube folder before uploading. Just a thought :cool:

Hi, I've been running into an issue with IP.Board 2.3.4, where the Post editor stops working when a rules/hints box above a subforum contains a HTML form. When you hit the Send button of the Post editor, the post will not be submitted, but the form in the hint box will get executed instead. Apparently, this problem is down to nested forms (something, which is not allowed, IIRC). I'm using the classical 2.2 skin, but this also applies to the new "Pro" skin. This is an excerpt of the resulting HTML source code, while you're in the Post editor editing/writing a post in a sub-forum which has a hint box: Of course I also tried to escape [] with %5B%5D and & with &…

Amend users topic and forum subscriptions
by Guest Fubra- 5 replies
- 1.3k views
I keep getting users complaining that they are receiving loads of email notifications. They subscribe to a topic and then can't find the setting in My Controls to unsubscribe. I think this highlights a couple of issues: 1) People subscribe to topics and then do not know how to manage their subscriptions and unsubscribe. Perhaps this needs to be looked at again to see how it can be made more user friendly. 2) The functionality to amend a users subscription is needed in the Admin CP. I have to keep fixing this for users even though I tell them how to cancel their subscriptions. I have to change the users password and then login as them which is far from ideal.
