User To-Do Lists
by Guest SpireInc- 4 replies
- 2.5k views
The forums need to have todo lists added to them for each user. For those who access frequent forums this can be used as an organizational tool and can also be another reason for people to check their favorite forums. For administrators this would mean a todo list for their site, personal things, or for whatever reason. If executed properly this could be a great feature.

2.1.4
by Guest jucs- 9 replies
- 3.4k views
I would like know when 2.1.4 is due out approximately. Is it a month? A week? 6 months? I am waiting for the software to get more stable before upgrading. I don't need an exact date. Just a general time frame. I've been around long enough that exact dates can't be given. But, if it's going to be 3-6 months, I will upgrade now. If it's going to be a month or so, I'll probably wait. Thanks.

Mass Delete Validating Members in ACP
by Guest TexasHSFootball- 0 replies
- 1.4k views
Is it even possible in the near future to mass delete validating members in the near future? I cant always take time out of my busy schedule to delete a ton of validating accounts that never get activated one by one. If this can be done, it would certainly make my days a heck of a lot easier.

Simply replace http with https when the login information is exchanged, and we have a much higher level of security...hasn't the time come for this?

Additional search restrictions
by Guest allpar- 0 replies
- 1.5k views
At least on my system, search seems to shoot the iowait numbers into the stratusphere. Moving to full text search and removing the search boxes helped, but it's still a problem. I'd like to propose... 1) Configurable limits on frequency of search, 2) A serious optimizing look at the search code, and/or 3) Being able to limit search to a certain % of CPU - either, a) shutting off search when load is too high, or b) simply reducing the resources given to searches (preferred) Would pay for this one...

Sponsored links for guests
by Guest christopherpm- 0 replies
- 1.4k views
Is it possible to have "sponsored links" which appear in the posts/threads if you are not registered or logged in? For example, I might want to set my board up so that every 5th post in a thread is a sponsored message UNLESS you are registered/logged in, in which case you will be ad free... I have seen this on VBulletin forums, but I don't know whether it's a built in feature or a mod... If you take a look at http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=107817 for example (log out if you have an account), you will see the sort of sponsored links I mean if you follow the thread...

[Feature suggestion] No more features
by Guest robirming- 6 replies
- 2.5k views
Sorry about my some what stupid topuic title, just trying to bring some attention. Of course there's still features that could improve IPB. It's just that right now I think it's more important to start re-designing My Controls before adding more features into it. They way things are now is just too much for any average user, and this is before you've even started adding the gallery and/or the blog. Something of a tabbed interface to make it less "scary" would be much better.

Installing a test board
by Guest Telemacus- 5 replies
- 3.3k views
I'm a registered user and run a couple of sites. Now, before installing new versions, I'd like to install a test board to check that everything is gonna work as I expected. I remember Matt actually encouraged users to do it, but cant find his post. What was the best way to do it? because remember I tried it once and ipb wouldn't let me, as it found a previous version.

unflexible AdminCp restriction choices
by Guest beddows- 0 replies
- 1.5k views
We want to give about 5 members the ability to back up our sql database on their PC's (redundancy), so we need to give them AdminCp access. Under the restrictions, access to just this function is not possible. They have to be made root Admins, which means you cannot restrict them from other areas.

Two more suggestions
by Guest ZeroSum- 0 replies
- 1.4k views
1. Implement a QuoteSearch. It is far easier to find a post that another member has quoted you in than to have to wade through a lengthy topic. 2. Implement a stronger ignore. In other words, ignore posts in which the ignored member is quoted and/or in which the ignored member's name appears.

Admin Security Feature

It would be useful to have a mod that bans an IP that has unsuccessfully tried to log into the admin panel three consecutive times. Of course, the IPs of the Admins themselves would be excluded.

ignore list versus last 10 posts
by Guest dut- 0 replies
- 1.4k views
so if this isn't considered a bug, can it be added to the next request list? when i ignore a user's posts, i'd like to see an "ignored" message instead of their post content in the "last 10 posts" under the reply box. i know there have probably been requests to scrub the quotes, but i know why that's impossible to do without substituting ID for Name in the arguments. anyways, if the "last 10 posts" could be fixed so that it checks the ignore status, i'd appreciate it. :D hopefully it's easy to do and just adds another blip on a changelog. thanks! -- dut

Invision - On the Right Track?
by Guest chickenbak- 19 replies
- 6.9k views
First of all, let me preface this with saying that I am not trying to stir up trouble, I am trying to promote a healthy discussion of the path of Invision. I have used Invision for quite some time now, and myself used to be a contributing member of a "rival" open source forum (when Invision was available OS free). I always thought that Invision had the right idea when it came to forum development, and consider it the best forum package out there for many reasons...not necessarily the most feature-rich...but features aren't everything. Regardless however, I have been personally disturbed by what seems to be a huge dilution of Invision resources to develop and support a…

1) Trash Can for deleted PMs - pretty obvious why it's needed. 2) Filter System for PMs - something like filtering messages based on the member name and moving it to a designated folder.

Resource site list
by Guest PhantomRogue541- 3 replies
- 2.2k views
I remember I posted here once about suggesting there be a list off IPS resource sites. Someone then told me there was a list of IPS resource site on www.invisionzone.com Now that brings me to this. I had www.invisionize.com on my favorites list. I try to go to it today to look for skins and I get a PAGE NOT FOUND error. Plus I look on www.invisionzone.com and I can't find the resource list anywhere. WHAT's GOING ON? I'm sorry if this isn't the right forum for this. I'm not sure.

Auto-Closing Topics 1 2
by Guest Amir2090- 30 replies
- 11.8k views
It's useful to keep track of the whole archived topics, and not purge them, but sometimes it's silly to have years-old-topics resumed/bumped. Wouldn't it be nice to have them somehow automatically closed (still accessible and readable) after a determined time-lapse where no replies are added?

Auto close & delete topics
by Guest beddows- 1 reply
- 1.8k views
At the end of posts there is an option to put a start & end date on a topic. All this does is close the topic. It would be nice to have an option to auto delete it. Here is an example of why: On my forum, www.natcoa-forum.com we have a section for announcing RV shows. After those shows have finished there is no reason for the thread to be there anymore. It would be nice to have the option to have it auto delete. A drop down button to select close or delete woudl be nice.

AJAX fast reply

I think it'd be a good idea to add AJAX to the fast reply, when using it, without a page refresh it would be posted. Of course have the "Loading..." box pop up too while it's doing it's thing :P

"Sent Items" and "Inbox" put in language files
by Guest -Blitz-- 1 reply
- 1.8k views
Hello I think you should put words "Inbox" and "sent Items" into language file, beacuse if someone want to chagne it must edit few files - "login_core.php", "func_usercp.php", "func_msg.php", "register.php" etc.. There is line : $this->ipsclass->DB->do_insert( 'member_extra', array( 'id' => $member_id, 'vdirs' => 'in:Inbox|sent:Sent Items' ) ); It is bad solution... For me 120 $ is very much, I eran in Poland 200 $ per month (I must work hard for it)! Regards Jarek

International Dates
by Guest Been Told- 6 replies
- 2.5k views
I was apalled to learn that IPB doesn't support international dates. The names of days and months are in the language packs and so that's not a problem. I contacted IPB about this and they say it's not supported because the times and dates are handled by the respective PHP functions. Well phpBB uses PHP for that too and they have international dates which work perfectly. So I am quite shocked that this is something IPB cannot do. I hope it gets implemented in a future release.

I just pay for IBP license few hours ago. I cant download and install my IBP . This is the msg. I have got : "Due to the recent release of updated products, the installs and upgrades department is experiencing heavy delays. Our normal time for an install or upgrade of a product is one to two business days but you may experience a delay of up to four business days for the rest of this week. We apologize for the delays and appreciate your patience while our staff works through the requests." Should I wait for FOUR days now just to download it ? How I will know when the times comes to download ? Do I need to download and then install or perhaps, IBP will install i…
