Does the installation of the patch to protect the froum count with support tech?. I don't have computer skills to do this by myself.

Better WYSIWYG editor to win Vbulletin 1 2
by Guest rolito- 26 replies

I have been researching all boards and forum systems. I think most of us agree that VB and IPB are the big players... I think both boards have excellent features.... BUT....I think that VB wysiwyg editor is far better than IPB.... If it where possible to add a better editor to IPB (like TinyMCE or FCKEditor) I think that IPB would be the WINNER AND BEST BOARD ON EARTH !!! What do you think? (I am not programmer...I don

[Feature suggestion] Email bounce management 1 2
by Guest allpar- 49 replies
- 12.4k views
Is there a way to get IPB to automatically deal with bouncing e-mails? People using the various trackers are causing a huge number of bounced messages. It would be good if IPB could log into an email account now and then and detect hard bounces or too many soft bounces and automatically discontinue the tracker. I'm sure there's open source code for this with things like phplist. Alternatively a control panel to shut off old trackers would be less effective and less desirable but better than nothing.

"Report this post to a moderator" button
by Guest dflorin- 2 replies
- 2.2k views
on boards that require registration to allow posting, validating members may use the "report this post to a moderator" button. of course, they do not report anything and do not write anything remotely usefull. most of the times trolls use this button to spam the moderators (including swearing). the only available choice is to remove this facility completely (from acp). i would like to have this button restricted to registered AND VALIDATED members. it would avoid a lot of problems. thank you.

Use more logic CSS classes
by Guest Flat_- 0 replies
- 1.1k views
Today I tried to change a few things on my board look : 1) Use larger font for topics titles only, on forums index and search results. 2) Use smaller font for "Last action", on forums index and search results. 3) Change forums titles color, on board index. I thought I could do this by overriding a few CSS classes definitions, such as "topic_title", "last_action", "forum_title"... But in current default IPB 2.2 templates, "logic" CSS classes are not used everywhere so it's not easy to change board apparence without changing multiple HTML templates. General classes such as "row1" or "row2" are used for multiple purposes so we can't use it to change a specific thing. If yo…

[Suggestion] "New topic" button
by Guest AndyF- 7 replies
- 4.7k views
Minor suggestion but it seems to make sense :) I think when a specific forum is set to read only (in the forum management in the acp), the button should not show when viewing the forum as it serves no purpose and can confuse new members sometimes. I dont think this would be too difficult to do, possibly with some conditions (maybe even in the skin) , the other idea i had about it was to make it not clickable (same as normal members cannot click the closed button) , but that would take more work and may still confuse.

Is the calendar section in the right place ?
by Guest SecondSight- 6 replies
- 2.7k views
Hello ! :) I've decided to use a lot the calendar. My board is about education and there are many events that can be announced in the calendar (exams, information, events, holidays too :), etc. ). So I posted an announcement to explain members what the calendar is for and how to use it. And members use it now. But it appears that placed in the statistics section, under the "Today's birthdays" section, it is not seen by most members... :( Don't you think it should be at the top of the board, under the menus ? Do you think that there could be an option in the ACP which could allow us to choose the place where the calendar "Forthcoming Calendar Events within the next 5 da…

Maybe you could add to the announcement when the file was submitted, (time) and when it was updates (if it has to be).... like what happens on IPSBeyond (or at least for IP.Tracker) Maybe this will solve what happened last time with that missing file?....

preventing google de-indexing from spammers
by Guest cheapbooks.com- 4 replies
- 1.5k views
I am sure some of you have heard about the javalobby incident search for slashdot javalobby spammer google on google.com http://slashdot.org/articles/07/01/13/2132215.shtml basically on christmas eve, spammers made 10,000+ spam posts on the forum, and since google crawls it constantly, they detected the spam and removed the site form the index, before the forum owners could clean it up. therefor I'd like to request a new feature whereby a reply / post / topic is hidden from google and other search engines for a period of x days to give forum owners a chance to protect against such things. I think most forum owners would appreciate a 7 day delay if it gave them the cha…

performance suggestion
by Guest cheapbooks.com- 5 replies
- 1.9k views
all of the performance options are turned on and off manually. the admin has to go in and decide if it should be on or off. this is not the best way to do it. ideally, the forum software should monitor the performance of the server or board, and automatically turn features on and off based on performance. if the load is EXTREMELY heavy, instead of putting up a busy message, it should switch to the lofi version automatically. second, if the load is high, it should switch to a lower res image format for any images that are too large (like in the gallery). perhaps use progressive jpg too. I also use a standard background that is quick to load in case the user waits a lo…

Captcha for guest search

If search is enabled for guests, I think requiring a captcha to be entered is a good idea. To prevent unncessary searches made by bots/scripts, for security reasons and unncessary server load.

my experience with IP software

hi all, i have always loved ips and all the great products they offer. i have used the board, blog and gallery for long time noe, and i found no other company that provide as rich a package as this. but there is always some-thing missing with ips softwares that would make them even better than they are now. it's the complete tangable integration on the surface area that a user of a certian community would feel. i had first the forums, then i added the gallery and then the blogs, this is when members got confused. i run an arts community in general. the members did not participate much in the forums since they got a separate blog of their own, they say why shoul i publis…

management system layout stinks
by Guest cheapbooks.com- 10 replies
- 1.9k views
I have been programming now for over 20 years and although invision seems powerful, the management and configuration system stinks. if I need to make a change, it takes me forever to figure out where to make the change. I have to look elsewhere, on other forums, to ask for help to find the setting to change an option. this means your forum has a lousy layout. there is too much inconsistency in the config options. here is an example: under cpu settings it says: Remove 'Users Browsing this topic' feature? Remove 'Users Browsing this forum' feature? Show Active Users Show Board Totals? now do you see the inconsistency? why can't it just say: users browsing this topic =&g…

trademark and copyright infringment question
by Guest labrocca- 9 replies
- 2.9k views
http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=18966 My question is ...does that person have the permission to create that theme and redistribute it? This is an important matter please respond quickly. He is obviously using the Invision logo in a confusingly similar manner which is trademark infringment. He also used the graphics and simply changed their tone. He says he has permission but I want to confirm this as I do not believe it's true. http://community.ipslink.com/board/license.html Isn't that exactly what he is doing? Have you given him written permission? Thank you.
