Ability for mods to edit member profiles
by Guest eyedam- 2 replies
- 1.9k views
There was such an option in v1.3 - along all the other options of what is allowed for a moderator. The feature somehow disappeared in 2.0 and it still is not available in 2.1 (and I must modify the code again...). Why was it removed? Why is this option kept only for administrators (and maybe super moderators?)? eyedam :(

Need corporate skinning solutions
by Guest rbiss- 4 replies
- 2.3k views
There are too many add on products and upgrades to maintain a decent skin. I'm considering removing the community blog simply because of skinning issues. Rather than find a new product to add on to invision why not start a skinning department that creates and updates quality skins (stressing real damn good quality and choice) and charge and annual $$ for that. The whole skinning issue is a giant pain in the rear. The way it's going I might just not upgrade anything for a couple of years, then come back to upgrade and skin. I think invision is missing the boat. Most forums don't need more gimmicks, they need to look professional.

Maybe it's just me but I cannot believe that the new version of IPB still does not have the option to show amount of users in each forum for board view. vBulletin has had that forever and if I go to Invisionize all I get is a really bad mod that adds on querie per forum. I have it installed and it add around 25 queries bringing my total for board view up to 32. I keep thinking Matt will bring this out with every release but no luck. It's a handy mod to have because it shows forum activity without having to open up each forum. So how many other people would like to see this feature added?

Give super-mods permission to see all skins
by Guest c0nstantin3- 3 replies
- 1.9k views
Hi, I really do hope this is the right place to put this... I've just upgraded from a trial version of IPB to v2.1.2 and it's certainly different. Anyway, I'm the co-admin but I take care of all the back-end fixes/technical things. For some reason the super-mods cannot see the hidden skins we have installed. The admins (3 in total) can see all of them, but our super-mods (5) can only see one from the drop-down list. There are some skins we don't want our regular members to see because they're still being customised but we would like for our super-mods to also see them for their input. I'm not sure if there's something that the primary administrator has to turn on, I…

a few suggestions
by Guest TCWT- 0 replies
- 1.4k views
How about adding more criteria to the search form such as "with at least x replies" similar to vBulletin. Add a box on the top to "mark all topics" in forum view. This would come in handy for bulk/mass moderation. Lastly, add the possibility to edit the posts in the "search results" page instead of viewing the topic and clicking on EDIT.. :thumbsup:

Skin creation link up
by Guest thesludge- 0 replies
- 1.6k views
Out of curiosity IPB supply the forum, correct. No member on heres wants their board the same as joe bloggs, correct. Yet IPB do not sell or even offer board skins. :( That to me is like selling a car without wheels. :blink: So why not as part of a deal, to sell a IPB board , that it is tiered into 2 parts. Standard IPB board with no skin, and then say for example an Exclusive IPB board that you would buy a board at a slightly higher price, but would include a skin of your choice that IPB could pay to the designer for example such as http://www.invisioncube.com/index.php seeing as I have one of their skins on my board http://www.rs-mania.co.uk/forums/ As an IP…

Some suggestions for mass mailings
by Guest Cybersmog- 0 replies
- 1.6k views
Please sort the filter list of "Send to Groups" aphabetically. And please include also those members of a group, which have that group only as secondary member group. All in all it would be great, if the mass mail tool would be expanded to a real newsletter tool.

WYSIWYG Editor for Bulk Mail
by Guest Fszone- 2 replies
- 1.9k views
Hi, first let me say that I love the features in 2.1!! The only thing that I just noticed is missing, is that the Bulk mail center still requires hand coding html. I have a monthly newsletter, and I would love to see a system that has easy editing with WYSIWYG, but also a toggle to transfer to hand coding for advanced coding that the rich text editor does not offer. Anyone like this idea...? It seems pretty simple..

Idea to fight warez/nulled boards
by Guest scylla- 3 replies
- 3.3k views
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…

Upcoming Events enhancement needed

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?

Moderator Queued messages
by Guest MonroecountyMS.net- 0 replies
- 1.5k views
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.

Subscriptions....
by Guest Hercules- 0 replies
- 1.5k views
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.

Suggested improvement:
by Guest civildis- 1 reply
- 1.6k views
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.

Ratingpoll

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"
by Guest Dark Phantom- 9 replies
- 3k views
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:

congratulations to matt for a great topic marker read system
by Guest GeoffreyK- 3 replies
- 1.8k views
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
by Guest SnowBlower- 2 replies
- 1.9k views
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?
