I think a cool expansion on the current ability to 'collapse' categories, would be the ability to customize your board-index view.

Loadbalancing loaddistribution solutions

I have a fairly busy/large site where a Dual Opteron system just didn't suffice anymore, therefor I've been doing modifications of IPB myself for a year to enable load balancing with IPB. I am using 3 servers. 1 main server that holds the database and website. 1 search/images server and 1 fileserver/mirrorserver. Databases are replicated from the main, and files are synced. Anyway. IPB as it is now does not have much "features" that would enable the users from distributing load. Maybe it's time to think about the bigger users of IPB and enable some stanard features which could help out at balancing/distributing the load. (besides the "external images"-urlsetting. But …

Hey guys, Im not sure if this was previously brought up, but there really should be an option to allow/disallow double posting in topics. If it is disallowed, and the user who is viewing the topic is the last poster in the topic, it should have a message appear saying "Sorry, you were the last user to post. Edit your post to add something in if you wish" instead of the quick reply textbox/full reply page. Just thought I'd chip in. :thumbsup:

Redo/Rebuild BBCode System

May 15, 2006 by Guest Luke

(Note: This also increases performance of the forum by reducing, or even removing, custom bbcode being done on the fly for each post and signature when viewing a topic, etc. Also integrates Custom BBCode and Built in BBCode into one system.) One of biggest concerns I have with IPB is built-in BBCode and Custom BBCode (in adminCP). You really have severly limited control over the custom bbcode, and zero (if not minimum) control over the built in BBCode. The biggest problem with Custom BBCode is it's done on-the-fly. This means that every time a post is loaded, it's done on signatures and posts, and each code is parsed whether it's present or not. Plus, custom bbcode pl…

FEATURE REQUEST: Thread closing after specified duration

I'm a registered customer with a feature request: Many of the problems I have in my forum are the result of newbies or spammers searching through the forum and replying to a hundred threads that are 2 years old. I called Invision support and they said the only option I have is to manually close every thread - this is just not an efficient way to accomplish this, with the traffic coming through my forum. Please, implement the ability to close a thread after a specified date. Ideally this would be under the permissions or options of each forum. Something like: Threads can be responded to within: [ ] days of last post I would really like to see this feature implemented …

Hello, Have you guys at Invision played around with http://sphinxsearch.com ??? I've found it interesting but I do not know the innards of IPB well enough to adapt it to my forum. Maybe you can post a step by step tutorial here how to adapt http://sphinxsearch.com for IPB 2.1.6 http://sphinxsearch.com can use both MyISAM and InnoDB. Imagine: Full Text Search on InnoDB (row locking) !!! Wow! Wow! Wow! Please help me install this thing.

I'd like to have a way to have a forum that exists, but you can't get to it by any link or drop down menu on the board. It would be for logged in memebrs, but they would have to manually type in the show forum= number to see it. It would also be helpful to be able to change the forum number to something with three or four digits to prevent accidental discovery of it. I like this idea better than having a password protected forum. I'd also like a way for moderators to be able to create forums without having access to the ACP.

Activity logs

July 8, 2006 by Guest K. T. Walrus
4 replies

2.3k views
This has probably been suggested before, but I would like to see an option for an activity log which appends a line for each page load to a log file on the server. This would show time, ip_address, member id, member name, the url query string, and shortened POST data (for text fields that are too long just log the first N chars). I know the server logs have basically this information (although member names aren't shown directly), but it would be nice to be able to check this file to see what a member did while on the board. A circular log (if that is possible in PHP) could be an option so that only the last so many megabytes were kept in the file.

Duplicate attachments

Currently when you make a post with an attachment and insert the [attachment=xxx] line into the post you can then copy the image location by right clicking the image for example and copying the link. You can then paste this link into another post and have that attachment show up. Since you can do this why can't you simply copy the [attachment=xxx] code into a new post and have that image show up? Not a post within the same thread but I'm talking a new thread elsewhere on the forum. I know the code is in the database so why doesn't Invision pull it out? Seems like this would be an easy thing to do.

In manage validating when members are approved, the log looks like this: # Members Approved When registrations are denied, it looks like this: Denied Queued Registrations Could you also add the # of denied registrations in the delete registrations log? Ex: # Member Registrations Denied, maybe also change the approval log for consistency to # Member Registrations Approved.

Emoticons area needs work

September 6, 2005 by Guest Kman_

Some features I suggest implementing for the emoticon area: 1. Different emoticon groups. What's the point of having different emoticon folders if only one of them works? You should be able to organise the smilies into different groups. 2. Reorder smilies. Simple scroll-down boxes like used with the reorder forums would be a sensible idea. You should also be able to reorder the different smilie groups, if the groups idea is implemented. 3. Ability to move smilies between different folders. Say I uploaded a smilie and accidentally put it in the wrong folder. I should be able to move it to another folder. Not necessary, but good as an extra: 4. Permissions for…

It would be way cool if the page showing search results had mod boxes on the right, so that some or all of the result topics could be modded inline. There are things we do at our forum, such as move all the topics that contain a certain keyword, that would be so much easier if we didn't have to mod them one by one.

Mod CP

OK, I am sure this has been brought up more than once. The moderator CP is used in most forum software, It is a useful bit of kit that is good for managing members, keeping track of warnings etc. I think that it should be re-introduced in a future version of IPB; in a similar format to the ACP, tabs etc, but just with moderator controls instead. A lot of the member mod controls in IPB are spread all over the place, so I personally think if moderators can do all this in one place, like admins do, it would make their lives a lot easier, and give them the ability to moderate more efficiently. What do you think?
