spammers using google to find registration pages
by Guest cheapbooks.com- 6 replies
- 1.5k views
I see people in my referal logs finding my site by typing "registration" at google and then going to the forums to register for the purpose of posting spam. there is little reason for most webmasters to have registration pages indexed on google. I'd like to request that this page be hidden from search engine spiders I dont think this can be done with robots.txt, which doesn't support parameters to cgi applications. anyway it should be done at the application level to ensure compliance

excessive / misused double quoting solution
by Guest cheapbooks.com- 4 replies
- 1.2k views
I have 2 issues when peopel use the quote feature. first, a lot of people click the quote feature then don't right a message. so I see a lot of replies that are merely quotes of other messages with no new content (totally blank). this ideally should be fixed second, when someone quotes a long article, you get a huge article quoted with 1 sentence added and it is a waste of space. the replier does not always edit the quoted region (people must not know about the 'add reply' feature). ideally, there should be an option to reduce the quoting... for example optionally (admin's choice) display the first 2 sentence plus ellipses (...) then remaining 2 sentences. or something…

new performance features?
by Guest cheapbooks.com- 4 replies
- 1.4k views
just wondering if you have or plan to install any of the following performance features: switch to lo-fi template when server load is highcache forum/home pages instead of pulling data from database automatically remove non-essential features like "board statistics" display when load is highswitch to lores images (gallery, nav buttons, logos, etc) when traffic is higher (load or bandwidth)auto-throttle by ip, so if an IP hits apps too fast, it gets the lofi templatesblock google/spiders from accessing things like "last post" link or anything else that creates duplicate pages. if a spider, don't offer the link. same with images, registration pages, help pages, etc.

WordPress and IPB
by Guest BryanH- 1 reply
- 1.4k views
Does anybody know how to connect the user databases for WordPress and IPB? So if someone were to register on IPB they'd also be registered for WordPress. Is this something that can be done via Converge? I'm just learning PHP, not a wizard by any stretch, and I'm willing to spend the time investigating it, but I don't know where to start! Any help? Anybody experienced in using Converge to plug-in to other non-IPS applications?

Secondary Group - Root Admin
by Guest Jason H- 4 replies
- 2.6k views
Because the functionality of this is rather confusing.. Many people move themselves out of the Root Admin group, or set themselves as a secondary Root Admin, not realizing that they don't have TRUE root admin privs as a secondary group.. Possible to disable being able to select the "Root" admin group as a secondary group? Seems to cause more problems than it's worth. Only advantage to it is if a user doesn't have a standard admin group, and wants someone to have standard admin privs. Seems that configuration would be extremely rare.. More rare than the number of people who move themselves out of the root admin group, or think a secondary group of Root Admin is the same …

IPB Classic Blue skin
by Guest Davtra- 6 replies

I really love the IPB Classic Blue skin, and I'm beginning to like the IP.Board Pro skin. But, with the Classic Blue skin, something has annoyed me for a couple/few years. Everything is perfect. You have taken great care in skinning your product, except for this on the board index: Where the red arrow is pointing, isn't there suppose to be a break?!? Go ahead, laugh because I already did :P

Moderator CP 1 2 3
by Guest XGhozt- 72 replies
- 18.4k views
It would be awesome if moderators had their own control panels, where they can view qued posts, or members currently suspended or accounts waiting for activation, etc. I realize that we can just add them as admin and limit their power, but thing is that when you have mods installed that add more things, you cant limit them. Plus, they can peek at some other things as well. So, with a moderator control panel that is basically a downsized admin control panel, it would be simpler. Now we would be able to set some moderators as semi admin, and others as simple mods. This also helps security, if an account is hijacked they cant get into the admin panel, merely the moderator …

Need Support

I seriously need help, I'm studying Dutch, and trying to learn the language, and my school teacher changed the languages of our forums. Now I'm wanting to change the language dictoniaries back to English, but I don't have the faintest idea how to, is it done somehow through the index.php file? I also, accidentally removed the copyright on my forum, and I don't want to get sued, so what is that code that adds a copyright on my forum, I believe it's something like this: <-- Something to do here --!> I'm not sure. Thanks, Atemu

I wish more statistics for the IPB. Not only number of members and contributions. I also wish number of the all of the topics and contributions. Number the complete hits. Number of registrations per day. The statistics should be stopped about the ACP. Also for this I wish members profile statistics more: Not only contributions and views. I also wish number of comments and friends.

Hello, Is it possible to add POST requests filtering from third party websites for abuse and potential POST attack control ? Another forum software has a similar feature and returns this for third party POST queries. "In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist."

Not Sure...

...if its stupidity on my part or ips. Don't worry this is a suggestion I'm just gonna state the procedure first. Anyways today i was wanting to export some of my custom skin templates into xml and actually found out to do this properly is actually impossible. Few ways i went around it was first to export the skin set which was useless because it was encoded. So i turned on dev mode and tried these new features that were added to apparently help us modders. First i tried the Export Templates Bits feature to see if that worked. Well it gave me a unencoded xml which was a good start however it failed to give me the customizations and only the original edits. Ok so i moved o…

Add Topic to Digg, Stumble Upon, del.icio.us, Etc.
by Guest chefelf- 10 replies
- 1.7k views
Another feature I would really like to see in newer releases is to add to the bottom of the first post in each topic a way to quickly submit the topic to Digg, deli.cio.us, etc. Preferably it could have some built in big names like Digg, Stumble Upon, etc. with the ability to add custom submission to other newer or lesser known sites. I think a lot of people would be interested in this as a way to drive traffic to their sites. Also having the ability to turn it on/off would be great, particularly in conjunction with IPDynamic. Thanks!

More Flexibility With User Groups
by Guest chefelf- 0 replies
- 698 views
There are a lot of controls on the size of posts (in kbs) but they all affect the entire member group. I would love to see the ability to select specific controls per user group. For example Size of post in characters/words or KBAble to post images: yes/noAble to post links: yes/noNumber of posts per day allowed: set specific numberAbility to edit title (rather than going with post count).Etc. My apologies if any of these have been introduced since v. 2.1.7 (which is what I'm currently using).

Suggestion: Portal plug-in
by Guest BryanH- 5 replies
- 1.5k views
I think the Portal plug-in by bfarber, which adds a ton of great functionality to the portal, should be included in the IPB core. I mean, why not? It's an awesome, unique feature and a great alternative to the main forum index. Plus, as of now, the plug-in is outdated and doesn't function out-of-the-box with IPB 2.3.

Feature Request: Message tracking page
by Guest Artefaqs Corporation- 2 replies
- 1k views
A few of my users are asking for this feature to be added either to Profile page or to the My Controls: Although a good amount of tracking can be done with the e-mail subscriptions, they would rather be able to flag messages they like and view them on a single page because they may not always be able to access e-mail subscriptions (on a public terminal, or away from the office, or in an office that doesn't allow forum subscriptions on company e-mail system while also not allowing webmail access for security reasons)

[Suggestion] Removal of "topic open / close times"
by Guest AndyF- 3 replies
- 1.2k views
I never really understood how this made it to be a standard feature... I can see the value of it as a modification but i dont think many people do actually use it... Just seems a bit pointless it being there, so (imo) im suggesting it be removed for 3.x.x (if not before) , there are a few more useful things that could be put there if needed... :) *and yes i know i can simply chop it out the skin* :P
