   Making Admin group exempt from PM Tracking

   January 22, 2006 by Guest Fszone

   Is there any chance of adding this in the next version: Here is the story. When I get a PM, it usually requires asking other members for information (Like mods and such) or it requires me to look into their issue further. Any way, I will usually view their PM, and then I will add it to my to-do list or it takes some time to solve their problem. I've had a few issued of members tiking the "Track this message" when they send the PM, and then they get mad at me when I don't address their issue ASAP (Either because I am busy at the moment, getting other's information, whatever). I would like to see a feature to make certain groups exempt from PM tracking, and you can tu…

   Reporting Private Messages

   What I would hope to see is to enable reporting for private messages in the event of people abusing and harassing other users. Rather than just forwarding and quoting, which can of course be forged, a simple method to report the PM to the admins in much the same way as a post can be reported. Many thanks for the consideration!

   It may be usefule to allow users to vote on individual replies (not the same as rate a thread as a whole) as helpful or not. This give some sense for others to whether take an answer to the original question.

   i got a problem, i cant remenber whether did i post in that topic before, so if you can like make a sign on the icon beside the topic to indicate that i have posted in that topic before, it could save me some time.. :) signs like, colouring the "note" icon. or having a "dot" on the "note" and etc. just a suggestion~ I think we did have that when it's IPB 1.3.. thanks for a great board!

   Edit posts in locked threads?

   This is not currently possible (that I'm aware of) and was asked by one of our moderators: "Is there some way to allow moderators to post in / edit posts in locked threads in their respective forums? I locked up a topic that was spiraling out of control. I then had to unlock it for 30 seconds to add onto my post stating WHY it was locked, and in those 30 seconds, more posts started coming in. I would really like the ability to leave a thread locked, and still post a message to it."

   Allow Smilies in Signatures

   Every board software I'm familiar with allows smilies in their sigs. Why does IPB not allow this by default with their software? Could this be added in 2.1.2? I've read on quite a few IPB boards members wish to have this available to them. :)

   Tracking members by the forums they post on

   Hi there, If you have a bunch of different forums on your board, each with a different skin, is there a way of retaining this skin when a user clicks on 'My Controls' or 'Register', etc. rather than defaulting to the master skin? Also, is there a way to easily extract all of the users who have posted on a particular forum? Any help or suggestions will be truly appreciated. Many thanks, Steve

   [Request] Member Title

   January 16, 2006 by Guest Rοb

   • 2.2k views

   ACP - Tools & Settings - Settings for group: User Profiles How about making this a per-group setting instead. That way you can still have users promoted to a certain group after X posts (if you want), but at least my way makes it so if admins want to they can have it restricted to certain usergroups. This will stop people from spamming just so they can edit their title. What do you guys think?

    Add Proxy Sites to Ban Filters

    January 17, 2006 by Guest Kevin45

    • 0 replies
    • 5k views

    Is there any way to have this feature implemented in future versions? Somehow read where the incoming page request is coming from and block it if its listed in the proxy site ban list, like IPs, or user names. IP banning seems useless if they can hop on a proxy site, create a new name and continue harassing or being obscene. Perhaps there is a mod or script I could use in the meantime?

    I really think , that the staff should offer a service of installing mods for forums , as it would help the people that cant code well or just to plain busy . This would also help people come over from invisionfree witch is very easy to code.

    Getting rid of automatic quoting

    January 17, 2006 by Guest JenGGG

    • 0 replies
    • 1.6k views

    I was referred here in this thread. When replying to a specific post in a thread, I would like it to default to not quoting the previous poster. We do not need everyone's posts repeated all over a thread, and it is a pain to highlight and delete all of that text. Is there any way to set this to not automatically quote? It is driving us nuts! It was suggested that we use the overall thread reply button instead, but then the outline mode doesn't look right. The ability to respond to individual posts is what makes a conversation instead of a bunch of responses to the initial poster. Thank you.

    the forum search the way it currently is is a big mistake IMO. It is far more practical to have the search at the top of the forum, rather than at the bottom. I think this needs to be rectified asap. Other bulletin boards have this feature and it is really very handy. It should be a separate drop-down option at the top

    Allow search, even with 1-, 2-, or 3-character search terms

    • 2.1k views

    I know this must have been suggested already, but I couldn't find a thread. Why can't the search terms that are below the limit simply not be searched? Why is it necessary to give an error message telling the user to go back and remove all search terms below four characters? vBulletin does it this way, and I find it must more humane. Here's a very common example of what users do: you want to search for an error, so you highlight a full sentence. You paste that full sentence into your search box, submit, and get some results. At least on all the major search engines you do. But Invision requires you to go back and count and delete, which could very well be a tedious jo…

    I just posted on a vBulletin forum, and it seems the topic i posted in hasn't reached the top of the page, instead it's about 10 or so topics down when the last reply was. If this is a feature and not a bug, it's a fantastic idea to put an end to a topic without having to close it. It'll die off eventually that way :)

    I remember back in the day, Version 1.3 had an option to make hidden forums that were only accesable by typing the URL manually in the address bar. I thought that was great, and most useful. I would love to have that feature back.

    duplicate IP addresses

    I've requested this feature some time ago, with no luck so here goes again. It would be awesome if there was a button in the "manage members" part of ACP where you could click it and it would show you every user that was registered with a duplicate IP address, WITHOUT knowing the IP address or username. InfoPop has this feature so I know it can be done. thanks!

    CPU Saving Feature

    After yet another mention on national radio today... I find that I have incredible spikes in users. From 15 users online to 218 in seconds. Of the 218, 90% of them were guests. Server handled it rather well, actually... Once I went in and turned search off (That one just eats up resources) everything was fine... But it got me to thinking.. I don't want to turn guest access off to my board, but I also don't want to have my regular members locked out because we get a mention and get whacked with an ungodly number of users at a single time. Would it be possible to set a maximum number of guest users that could be online at any given time? This would give priority to a…

    Delete your own thread in some forums

    We have a buy & Sell forum on our forums. We do not allow people to delete their own threads normally, but we would like them to be able to in thisi section once they have sold an item or bought one. It would be nice to have an option in the individual forum settings for "ability to delete threads you have started". Maybe own posts as well that would overide individual user permissions for that forum.

    pre-release development packages?

    Ok I just realised this, ipb releases these cool new boards every 2-4 months changing the core, template or other things. once released it will take a business approximately 48-36hours to recustomize their skin, modification, etc... I was wondering if ipb team would be able to release a package with information of what has changed 2-4 days before, like for example the CSS will differ from version 2.x to 3.x so if ipb releases a small document informing users of change before hand so that they can start getting things ready and assure the business' dev team that most things will work as they will want to keep up with competition by keeping up 2date with technology …

    Custom Profile Fields: Limit Scope of Topic View Display

    January 11, 2006 by Guest ChrisA

    • 0 replies
    • 1.6k views

    Basically this suggestion comes from the fact I would like one of the custom profile fields on my forums to be included next to each members posts, but only in one specific sub-board on my forums. So it would be nice for example if I could use a bit of HTML logic in the routine for outputting the custom profile field displays into the skin like so: <if="ibp.input['showforum'] == 3">XBOX Live Gamertag:<br />{content}<br /></if> Hope that makes some sense - this is based on a query I posted here :)
