More Control over individual member`s

Not sure if this has been mentioned but a lot of my members set a forum to be watched and then either change their e-mail or are never seen again! :devil: This results in me receiving miriads of returned e-mails bah! I would like an admin option to control members individual settings! :cool:

Split Topics

A feature to split a topic from post X would be good, I've found it annoying having to tick lots of boxes to split topics, when there are 20 posts in a row all off topic. It would also mean on these forums, you could remove offtopic discussion from valid topics easier and lock those and not genuine topics :)

Cache "Active Users"

May 15, 2006 by Guest Luke

One of the biggest things I've noticed about very popular forums is that they turn off the active users list in topics and posts. Where this feature might be very handy and imformative, it can cause load when you dont want it. On the other hand, not having the feature at all can be a little anoying because you dont know if anyone even cares about your topic unless you used the "Last Click" option on the board index (which, with a lot of users can be anoying to say the least). So the idea is to cache these results. You may ask, what purpose could that possibly serve? Well lets put this into more perspective. Let's say you had 1000 users on your forum constantly (like neo…

Username & Password in Validation Email

I have started up a new forum using Invision Power Board. I am very disappointed to learn that new members are not sent details of their username and password upon registering. We all know that some people register with a forum and then don't return for a visit until some time later and by the time they come back they can't remember their username and password. For example, I registered with this IPB forum some time back and today couldn't remember my username and password details (and I knew I was never sent an email with these) so I had to register again. Even people who visit a forum often may forget their username and password details - especially nowadays when we hav…

Just a small Idea

When you turn off the debug=1 feature on your board and the information, e.g Load Time, Server Load, Queries. You still have the link to the debug=1 feature, I manually removed this from all my skins but I think it can look a bit strange if someone would click the link and it only take you to the same page, it would be good if this was removed when you turned off the debug page feature. Just a small idea but it would just neaten it up a little.

PM Tracking

It would be nice if it was possible to store a copy of sent PMs without having to tick that little track icon. Or maybe if it was ticked by default? I always forget then regret it. Might just be me but I'd like to see that in future versions. :thumbsup: Ooh and bring back the red notification box that came up on the index when someone had a PM. So many users tell me they miss that now the PM pops up.

Ignore feature

I don't know if this has been suggested or not. (sorry if it has) But the ignore feature needs a major upgrade. All of my members complain that the ignore feature should have a complete ignore. Meaning, instead of seeing a " you have chosen to ignore this member" message. It should like that person never excited; even on replies. Alot of other Message Board have this type ignore feature. Maybe we should too. :blush: Thank you for your time.

Customer Security Precautions

I see security suggestions all over the place. How about IPS producing a list of things that we as customers can do to protect our systems. Obviously, number 1 would be to - * Upgrade to the latest version when it becomes available. * What about the permissions for IPS hosted customers? (which we seem to have lost control over) * What about permissions for non-IPS hosted customers? Recommendations from IPS would be nice. * What type of files do we restrict in the ACP from being uploaded/accessed in the uploads folder? * The largest group of hackers seem to be .ru based. Block (for now) all .ru email registrations? * What mods seem to make our systems more vu…

Classification other than the Categories

Right now, IPB supports a single heirarchical classification of Topics: Forum (category) --> Sub-Forum (category) --> ... ... -->Forum --> Topic One feature I would find useful is an alternate Category/Classification Tag applied to Topics. Here's an example: in a forum where the heirarchy is organized mainly by software-category, I would find it helpful to be able to tag some topics as "Rant", "Newbie Question", etc. One could extend the idea to allow multiple tags for a topic, but for my purposes, a single tag would be just fine. The use of the tag would be in Search, List functionality. Most importantly, I'd like to allow individual users to opt…

Man, being able to go down a list of preloaded modifications and click on something like and "Yes" or "No" button that stated "Install this mod now?" would be great. Some other boards have this already. It would be like the program Fantastico, but only for Invision boards. All this coding and the possibility of messing up your files due to one little code glitch is getting old. Just my $.02 Thanks for the great work, keep it up. And get us a Mod installer, guys ! ;)

Is it possible to converet such thing into IPB? If this is intended to be left as a mod, then produced solely by IPS, because third party mods and of such importance would impede hassle-free functioning of IPB

If more than x user "report a topic to a moderator" the topic should be "temprarily" closed, until a moderator has reviewed this topic. think this could be especially useful, if the admin is in vacation for some month. so if a sepcial amount of people report a topic, the topic will be temporarily closed until the admin is back. in some countries the admin is liable for illegally posts. So I even think, this would be a really good built-in feature.

Price Suggestion

Does IPS ever offer discounts on perpetual licenses to current yearly customers? If not, they should. Because I personally would probably buy a perpetual, but as it is now I would feel like I wasted $70 on the first year or if I get another $yearly one, I will feel I wasted that because I would be spending in 2 years almost the entire perpetual price. It may be the difference between people staying or moving to someone else, in my opinion. I justhate feeling like I threw the entire yearly amount away.

Admin Session Logging

After a recent hacking incident where someone gained access to my entire forum by guessing my password, I'd love to have some sort of session logging beyond what we have already. Like the current logs we have, session logging would tell who logged in when and from what IP and browser. Also, admin action logging that was more specific would be wonderful, instead of just "edited such and such's account", be like "edited such and such's account: modified signature, changed group" and something like that. Otherwise, it's very hard to track what is going on.

Ok well if you go to Matt Mechams blog, then look on the IPB section: I think the third post from the top will show you a screenshot of the 2.2 Admin CP. I think if the Admin CP skin is being updated, then the Board skin should also get the same treatment, and if you think about it, it would not be that much of a job..it could be done in a few days I guess.

They still don't log some actions like post editing and post merging, and haven't done so for a very long time. I have to keep track of which mods have edited which posts and when using a custom script I wrote. For the next version, IPB should log all moderator actions, not just some.
