Well, they together are 1, but from my mobile PC, I can read threads fine, but I cannot post, reply, etc... Why not develop the ability to post, reply, etc in the Lo-Fi version... makes sense to me with all of the mobile users that are cropping up.

Option to choose between old/new PM notification style

January 8, 2006 by Guest ellawella

I know that I don't particularly like the new PM notification thing, and some of my members don't either. For one thing it's easy to miss, for another it doesn't seem to show randomly. That and the fact that the mini preview it shows you of the PM just sent is never formatted properly or anything. So, how about an option in the user CP to choose whether they want a popup notification or message notification? EDIT: Whoops, I put this in Invision Community Blog. Meant to put it in Invision Power Board. >_< Please can a mod move this?

Sugestion: Custom bbcode security improvement

January 24, 2007 by Guest Vitaly

I think, current custom bbcodes lack of security. It's impossible to control parameters content. The most simple example: bbcode (published many times at this forum). There are no ways to filter <,",>,& and other signs from video ID. So, bad ID can spoil generated HTML code. I offer to add a field for regular expression, that should be applied to bbcode parameter. It can strip unwanded symbols or freeze convertion to HTML if condition doesn't match. The benefits is: - easy to implement - enougth to give necessary security for most cases. May be, that can be included in the nearest release?

Idea and implementation to reduce server load

February 8, 2007 by Guest Fast Lane

Since I know that for me the search tool is what causes a majority of the load spikes I have come up with an idea to solve it (I hope). I am experimenting with this right now. I know the coding is not elegant and may not work on everyones server, you should get the idea and be able to alter it for your forum. Basically when the one minute server load is above a set limit the search feature is disabled. When it is below that limit it is enabled. This will basically result in the search tool being offline when the server load is too high so that search queries do not stall and lock up tables causing major problems. alter search.php as follows: Before: if (! $this…

If you click on the "CLOSED" reply button of a closed topic, you cannot reopen the thread from the "After posting..." drop-down box. I think this would be rather useful. If you can close an open thread this way, then you should be able to open a closed thread in the same fashion, right?

Email Ban Filters In Reverse

I run an installation of IPB on our Intranet. Due to potential sensitivity of information, we need to limit registrations to permanent internal staff, and the obvious way to do this is to limit registrations to those people who have email addresses on our domain. Currently IPB lets you block specific domains for registration, but not block all except specific domains. I requested this through a support ticket once (before I realised it wasn't possible) and the support engineer forwarded it as a feature request but for whatever reason it didn't make it into 2.2. I have actually implemented this as a hack by modifying two files - register.php and xmlout.php. I had to add …

Feature Request: Automatically moderate posts with URLs or IMGs by gro

We’d like to request a new feature for the forums that would set post would automatically be set for moderation if they contain URLs or IMG tags. And that this feature could be turned on and off by group. This would allow us to set a group for new users of, say, 10 posts or less that cannot post a URL and/or an image with out it first going though moderation. If we had this feature right now it would mean 99% of Spam posts to our forums would never see the light of day. We have been getting up to a dozen or so posts per day that are nothing but spam. Some porn, some cheap drugs, some for mortgages, many in Russian, nearly every single of which contain URLs and are posted…

A shoutbox or chatroom feature. I've added a shoutbox to my IPB, and I just don't see how this modification can be as popular as it is and IPB not have already added it as a feature. You could just make it like the portal where if people want it on, you can turn it on, and if you want it off, you can turn it off. I had a request from one of my user's to be able to see date and time when you hover over a user's name on the main forum page. So it would be nice if you could have that setting on the next version. Maybe just a box where you enter the format and specifics of what you want it to show (as far as the date, format of the date, etc.). I'll reply to this if I think…

Hope somebody can advise on this.....I've got a leased licence which is due to expire again at the end of February. I notice that the licence terminology and pricing has changed again, so can somebody update me on what exactly my options are now. Can I continue to use it till upgrades are required as before.....or do I have to immediately purchase a new licence?

Dear IPB forum members, I'm considering purchasing the latest version of Invision Power Board, but I have a quite a few questions before buying it. Thanks you so much in advance for your replies. When using IPB, would it be possible to easily translate the forum in any language, since my forum would be completely in Swedish. Would I be able to translate the whole forum to Swedish without tampering directly with the raw script code; for example translating the "post" button to Swedish? And when a new update is released for the forum, do you know if I had to translate the whole forum again, if I used the update? Is it possible to use Google Analytics with the Forum to trac…

This might be a suggestion for all IP programs, but a user on my site suggested having multi-program search results, meaning if I have IP.Board, IP.Gallery and IP.Blogs installed, it would return the searched results from all three programs, and possibly have the results seperated by each program name. For example... I found the following results in the Forums: ... ... ... I found the following results in the Blogs: ... ... ... I found the following results in the Gallery: ... ... ...

I have suggested these to a modder, but always is better if IPS implements things obviously, then it gets supported and no file editing needed. 1. Make my friends be a popup of the my assistant type. 2. Have "my friends" in red when you have friends awaiting approval. 3. Show how long each friend has been your friend. 4. Show where on the site all of your friends are, refreshed via ajax. 5. Be able to PM them through the actual popup rather than going to the PM system itself, that way it is all tied together into a nice system of communicating with your friends and going to their topics. Maybe even ahve it where if you click the topic it shows them as viewig, that …

When you go to set a start date and end date for the calendar, it would be nice to have a calendar that appears like something a travel site has. Such as: www.travelocity.com Where it has a very small calendar, so that you can see that date along as the day of the week and etc. Also, after posting the event it would be nice if it would go back to the month that the event was posted for. And if the event is in both months, have it show the most nearest month.

Hey everyone.

Suspending them is pretty simple ...once you come across a post that you feel warrants disciplinary action, you can click their warn meter and add to it immediately...fill out a little form and suspend the account temporarily or indefinte…

Breaking Skins with new Versions 1 2

Why is it that skins have to be broken with every new major version of IPB forums? This is extremely hard work on your customers. On my forums I have 5 different skins that forum staff spent many many hours designing, bug fixing, and tweaking so that the visitors cold have a cool selection to choose from. If I update to 2.2, yet again, I will lose all these really great designs. I see this as a major issue with IPB as it increases workload on a forum on a huge scale. Rather than a simple (and efficient) upgrade routine that takes 10 minutes, board admins are faced with weeks of work to redesign skins. I have also noticed an apparent decline is 3rd party IPB skins site…

First of all, many thank for fast help with some problems to IPS support team! New 2.2 surprised by very easy setup proccess and a lot of new functions, thanks Ips developers! But I think that new most important thing called "member's rating" hasn't got good support. I mean that there is not a few interesting features and many users must use modifications of forum because: Rating invisible in post view(only by clicking on username) New user rating system isn't have setting like a style of show (text, graphics or all this), haven't message of reputation (why this user have 5 stars or 1) haven't list of users who rated member and may be very nice to control a forum/catego…
