After Install Forum is in Offline Mode
by Guest Katsuma- 6 replies

I installed v2.2 and by the time I logged into the ACP to changed the "Invision Power Board" to the name of the site, a bot made a 20 link post to sex sites. After looking around, I see "Test Forum" gave guest the ability to post. so this could be set to members or the board in offline mode.

A moderator application form ?
by Guest SecondSight- 7 replies
- 2.3k views
Hello ! When I need moderators for my forums, I simply write an announcement. Then we discuss through PMs. Now, I would like to have a special tool for this, which would allow members to request being moderators of a forum or category. I'm thinking of a "become moderator of this forum" link or a button that would lead members to a form where they can find : - explanations about what moderation is ; - the moderation rules ; - radio buttons to accept or not the terms of the rules ; - choose wich category or forum they would moderate ; - a textbox where they can write why they want to become moderators ; Of course, applications to become moderators would be automatic and w…

Suggestion

In IPB 2.2.2 you can change almost everything about a member, but its not enough. Some mebers can't read my board on a certain skin but I can't change the skin for them. My suggestion is that Admins. can change members' skin my simply editing their profile it would be like: Skin Selection:Skin,skin1,skin2 rate or hate please! I think it is a good idea if I didn't think it was though, I wouldn't of posted it.

Suggestion: limit on password recovery
by Guest ErwinB- 4 replies
- 1.7k views
Hello, I just have a suggestion about the password recovery feature. Actually, whan you want to get a new password, you're set as 'validating' and an e-mail is sent. The problem is: if the member who asked for a password recovery don't receive the mail or don't follow the instructions, he remain as validating. Actually w have something like 258 records in ibf_validating about this. So, I suggest, to keep this table clean and for security, to allow the admin to set a limit for the recovery. If the member don't follow the instructions after x days, the account is locked or put back as an active member, and the entry in ibf_validating deleted. Because actually, the admins …

Hey guys one of my down sides I have found with IPB is that to install mods you have to edit teh default files so when it comes to upgrading you have to reinstall the mods. If there was a way to use plugins like vb3 that would be great

Suggestion for new feature
by Guest Albert_Bouwman- 2 replies
- 1.4k views
Hello, would it be possible, (this is just a request or suggestion as you like) to be able to "label" a topic/post as spam. Then automatically the board removes all posts from that account as well as delete that account? I am now, via admin panel, first remove all posts then remove user but thats very time consuming (we got quite a bit spam). I hope this is a good idea. Albert

IPB Editing Suggestion
by Guest Eric.- 7 replies
- 1.9k views
Has anyone suggested this yet? Basically, board admins want members to be able to edit their post, right? But, some people abuse that by flaming another member, and then editing their post. Now, I realize that it is possible to disable editing, but this means that members can't correct typos or other errors. I also realize that you can put on an editing limit of lets say 10 minutes, but this is still long enough to be abused. What I am asking for in the next release is a logged edit system, meaning an admin/mod can view a post's edit history, and see what the post said before and after it was edited. It is always hard when you get two forum members arguing over someth…

Classic ACP.
by Guest uratoh- 5 replies
- 1.6k views
I'd like to see the option of switching back to the IPB 2.0.x ACP. Maybe a dropdown or radio button selection on the ACP login screen or something. I assume it wouldn't take too much to do, would it? The new 2.1/2.2 style ACP is nice and all, but the 2.0.x ACP was a lot more inviting and comfortable. The skin_acp folder has an IPB2_Standard folder in it, which confuses me, because it's the only skin for the ACP there is. It's like you laid down the structure for an ACP skin selector but never continued it. Any chance of an IPB2_Classic in the future?

Many users don't know that certain filetypes aren't allowed to be uploaded through the attachment system. It'd be helpful if the posting screen shows which filetypes are supported. EDIT: oops, I meant for this to be on IPB forums, not gallery. Please move it there.

More SPAM Blocking

I run a forum that I still need to delete a post every day... People are now registering for an account, posting once, adding a signature that has a link to their spam site in it. Perhaps make a feature that will only allow certain groups to modify their signature?

Avatars and Signatures
by Guest Jaggi- 3 replies
- 1.3k views
Ok i think every site admin knows about offensive avatars and signatures and often go around editing things for something, whether this be because of nudity or language used in the places i think ipb could do a possible solution here. In the avatar area and signature are there should be two extra tick boxes which a member can tick when they modify their sig or avatar saying something like "others may find this signature/avatar offensive". Then you can check this two ways i guess, 1. being if the person is under 18 (if you have dob control for all members) or 2. have a option inside the my controls saying "turn off offensive signatures/avatars". IPB can work on the wording…

[Suggestion] Treat all profile fields as "customizable" fiel
by Guest Joannes Vermorel- 1 reply
- 932 views
Currently half on the user profile settings seems to be "hard coded" while the other half can be "customized". It would be more practical if all the user profile settings where treated the same way and "customizable" (except maybe the display name and contact e-mail). For example, if I create a new "Company Website" URL, I do not have a way to specify both an URL validation for the input and an hyperlink output for the display format. Best regards, Joann

Trashcan
by Guest ¤Neville¤- 4 replies
- 1.3k views
WHat i would realy, really, really like in IPB 2.3 is, a small trashcan button next to your designated trash can forum, and when you click that button, a drop down box says, 'Empty Trash Can', & 'Restore Items', & 'Schedule emptying of trashcan after x amount of days'. Also, the button should have a little trash in it to show its full. Also when you empty it you shouldnt have to load a new page, it should be AJAX. Hows that?

Great service from Invision! Credit where credits due
by Guest netsmithUK- 3 replies
- 1.6k views
Just thought I'd take the time to give credit where its due. Until a week a so ago I was a long term user of Teligents Community Server, and had build about a health forum of around 250,000 posts and 20,000 members. Since day one its been a pain and I've constantly had to compromise on what I really wanted to do. Support from the 'community' and the official lines has been mediocre at best. And to top it all off it was unfamiliar to most and just looked plan amatuer. None of its components really had a finished or integrated feel even though it was a commericial app. Eventually they 'upgraded' and introduced all sorts of new charges and a license agreement that crippled …

[Feature Removal]Remove option to delete Root admin logs
by Guest RavenRaz- 0 replies
- 902 views
Hi there Our board was recently infiltrated by hackers using some IPB exploits. They gained access to our root account, were able to access ACP and private areas of our forum. They were then also able to delete the admin logs carried out by the root admin in order to cover their tracks. We upgraded to the latest version and its great to see so many new security features and logs. However the ability to delete Root admin logs is still there in ACP. I am sure this is an oversight since other things such as login attempts cannot be deleted. Please remove this ability as it defeats the object of logging them many thanks
