Idea to fight warez/nulled boards

November 10, 2005 by Guest scylla

My idea goes as follows: I think that a new license should be generated whenever a person buys a licesne. That license number should then be added to a mysql database on invisionpower or wherever. Next, i think that the invision board software should be in a rar file, the user must then put in the license number to unlock it. Further more, i think that on the install menu, you MUST put in a license number, after you do that, the install script calls to the invisionpower database to check the status of the license. If it's already in use, then an error message would be generated and the user would not be able to get the software installed. Also, I think that if the l…

I am now running version 2.1.3, and somewhere along the line the display of future events at the bottom of home page has changed when repeating events are included that they no longer display in chronological order. Please fix this. I had a ticket (Ticket: #231067), but they now say that I need to ask for an enchancement. And so here it is.

Just a little note to the readme file: It says: "Upload all the files contained in the "upload" folder of the download distribution EXCEPT conf_global.php." Shouldnt that also specify to _not_ overwrite your uploads folder?

Is there any way to stop RSS feeds showing up in 'Todays active topics' list? They just bury the other new posts. :)

I would like to see 2.1.x display a popup box when messages are queued for or awaiting approval. To have to look at the forums and the subheader can be hard to even notice when they are. Maybe a popup which can either display the messages or stay open to allow you to find them without searching. Many time when I have some awaiting approval I never notice them unless by accident.

Seems a good place to use this -- just have a dynamic form that hovers asking "what type of subscription" and you can choose right there and then. I don't see much point in going away from the post you're reading because you want to be subscribed to it.

It would be a great help to users, not to mention moderators/editors, to be able to request topic track for every topic in a forum or on the board. At present one must go to each topic and subscribe to the tracking feature one at a time.

I think it would be a nice option to have a rating function for the polls. For Example Question Greatness of IPB from 1-10 Then answers 1 2 3 and so on Till this point it's possible with the default poll And at last an Option for displaying the Results in average rating or something like that.

Required files located in "install\instalfiles"

November 4, 2005 by Guest Dark Phantom

I would like to make the sugguestion that these files are moved to a more, secure location, just something about not removing the install directory seems weird. Now although this would mean the code exists twice, my suggestion is just to "include" the code located in these files, in a file thats called by the installer. This file could be removed, and the code using with the ACP could be called from a better location. Just seems weird to require the install file, after all these years, old habits are hard to end :blink:

hello all.. I would like to publically take back my angry comments about the topic marker read system that tracks when a user has last visited a topic.... now that i realise the values in the ibf_topic_markers is a serialised array, and that it is actually pruned quite nicely... it all seems good. I think matt may have found a solution to this problem of tracking users last visit to topics... what do other people think of the system. If you have an opinion id really like to hear from you! Cheers geoff

IPN System

I am using Invision Power Board 2.1.1 with no modifications. I use the IPN system for my website, with PayPal as the only option of payment, I have about 500 subscriptions active within this, and each month they are demoted to a normal member again, even when their subscription is active and are still paying, on the transaction logs it just says for each person "Expired", even when their subscription on PayPal is still active and are paying monthly. Is this a problem with my settings, or just something IPB doesn't fully support?

There should be an option in the ACP to exclude certain groups from being "blockable". Admins should not be able to have their PM's blocked! That will cause problems. I am surprised it was already allowed.

Self edit Language Pack

I would suggest IPB came up with something smilier to what phpBB has. The thing where you can make your own language pack. I would find this a great feature since i can't seem to find any language packs in Norwegian for 2.1.x . All i want is just a little folder where all the information i need to know about editing the language pack to make it Norwegian. (If this already is, then someone please tell me the file name of it because i would really like a Norwegian language pack for 2.1.x)

I think making the now hide mod into a default feature for IPB would make a lot of people including me very happy. If you don't know what I'm talking about it's the mod were you must first reply to see the message, or be in a certain group to see message.
