Conversion tracking

July 20, 2007 by Guest bfarber

User requested through client area conversion tracking enhancements for a future version. Specifically, he needed a direct url (with query string parameters) that he can plugin to google analytics or other software that would indicate a user has succesfully registered. Because most data is sent via post, and we have 301 redirect calls on some of the registration, this would not currently be possible.

SUGGESTION: Uploading takes forever cause there's a billion files

Uploading IPB takes FOREVER because it has soooo many files. Why not just have : install.php upload.zip And the install.php will use PHP's zlib to unzip all the files on your server and then take you through the install or upgrade.

illegal IPB Board!

I have found a very serious case, a person named Rail is using IP.Board 2.2.0 that was nuked which is illegal, he didn't buy it at all. Not Only that but the person is also copying a forum name GlitchRock which has copyright on it. This is the forum Rail Made: http://glitchrock.instantddl.com/ I suggest you take action and take the forum down. IPS you are the only hope for taking it down. Don't bother contacting instantdll because Rail is the owner of it. Thank You, Your Friendly Neighborhood Reporter, Armin

Suggestion: Ban Filters Import/Export

I'd love to be able to Import and Export IP/Email/Username ban lists. I think, as a community, we can fight those spammers and stop them all. I personally have over 50 entries in my ban list and I'd like to be able to share that information with my friends and the IPB community so that they too can take advantage of the spammers I have personally caught and identified.

In the board settings (2.2.2) there is a feature to send new topics notifications to moderators of the forums. But I want these notifications not only for new topics but for new posts in any topic as well. Is there such a feature or a mod? Thanks!

Report this Post to a Moderator -- spam. You don't even have to be a member, just validating on the forum, and you can "Report a Post" -- in which you'll have all kinds of trash and junk. Let me know if you developers have a solution or if I am missing a setting somewhere. Thanks!

I'm in a dilemma, (apologies in advance if this is in the wrong area... feel free to move it) if I have a problem with my IPB, for example this one > http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...p;#entry1496515 then the advice given is to I paid for a lifetime license for IPB but decided not to renew the support yearly FEE. Fair enough I thought I'll still be able to post here (or on beyond...) to ask other members for support, but no. When I go to the IPS beyond site I get this and when people post their problems here they are advised to go to ips beyond....so is this normal ? I've paid Invision money for a lifetime licence to their IPB product and I can't e…

So, I look at the instructions. No special mention of having to run a command line tool at any point. Did I just miss this? I have 300,000 posts. I just don't want the upgrade to go south as upgrades have been becoming increasingly difficult with this software the further it gets developed. Thanks. If you're updating your IPB, then please do the following: Important note: If you are using a database driver OTHER than MySQL please be sure to download the files for your driver from your client area and upload those files along with the files in the next step. If you fail to do this, you will not receive the SQL updates you needUpload all the files contained in the "up…

Ok, well some nasty members have been clogging up the uploads folder on my forums. Put this at the end of your forums index.php ?&act=attach&code=attach_upload_process&attach_rel_module=post&attach_rel_id=0&attach_post_key=12cd1252360337ddb50d6a95ef0c090e&forum_id=2&--ff--forum_id=2 No permissions are checked. They upload LARGE script files. Test it. Upload a text file, browse to your root directory and then the /uploads/ directory in FTP then go to your months folder and you'll find the file with a .ipb extensions. The script i uploaded was there when i opened the .ipb file with notepad. It's taking up alot of my space. :(

It could be nice if moderators could mark their topics in colors like in Bug Tracker if they want the topic to be more protrude (or by chosen groups). And another suggestion for the points system, it can be something you can purchase for points.

Pirated Boards

Hi, I would like to report several sites for piracy http://www.d2tf.com/forum and http://d2pk.org are using pirated IPB boards, their customer number is zero. I have reported it, but never seen to have gotten a reply. Their host is dreamhost, I have emailed them, and I was told that they would need an email from invision power. Simply email abuse@dreamhost.com would do I think. http://www.d2jsp.org is using IPB 1.3 but claming it as his own. That is a modified and unregistered IPB 1.3 board, but he took the credits off. I believe action should be taken too. Thanks

Dear InVision I have been working with computers since the early eighties and have been on the internet with my own website since the early nineties where I designed my own purpose-built Forum. I give you this information to let you know that I am not a newbie, but at the same time, while I do like our InVision Power Board v2.3.1 (ID: 23004), it is undoubtedly the most complicated bit of internet software I have ever worked with. The following is a little suggestion that I believe will make working your Forums easier for most of us Forum Administrators who are not computer tekkies, nerds or, as they say over here in the UK, boffins. Recently, because of the geometric…

Why only a max of 50 messages can be archived? It should be a lot more, is there a good reason why it's set to 50? Members PM limit is way more than 50 so having a higher limit would be better. And, does it archive only the newest PMs? I think that needs to be be more clear. :blink:

Requests for the next major release.

June 21, 2007 by Guest uratoh

1.9k views
There are a few small things I'd like to request/suggest for the next major release of IPB. First off, showing which profile a person is viewing in the Online List, exactly how "Viewing Topic:"/"Viewing Forum:" works. Next up, a yes/no permission for each group under "Moderation Permissions" for viewing anonymous members. Having only ROOT admins viewing them has become a pain on our forum to the point that we've considered turning off the entire invisible system. Next, more control over the "Moderator Tools" in the My Controls page. One of our non-global moderator groups needs to have access to the IP Tools there, and currently they have to contact a global mod or a…
