   Admin notes

   Its useful you can enter ACP notes on the main page of the ACP. However, I think it would be really useful to be able to enter "admin notes" against forums and users too, as a reminder/telling other admins of any particular config changes that may have been applied to the specific forum/user. These would only be visible on the actual forum/user editing pages in the ACP, so quite a easy change to implement! :D Forums & users would be the 2 most common places we would want to put notes, but there could be others too - User Groups, Skins, ... ?

   NavStrip Customisation

   My only real little niggle at the moment is the implementation of the breadcrumb across the various products. I would like a little more flexibility in the way this is set-up. At the moment the breadcrumb works like this; --> Board Name --> Category --> Subcategory etc however when on the portal homepage the breadcrumb displays; --> Board Name I would like a breadcrumb that references from the site root. so; --> Site Name--> Board Name --> Category --> Subcategory etc and when on the portal homepage; --> Site Name This would work well for blogs as well as I don't see the blog as a sub-level to the forums it should be a sub-le…

   Relative URL's

   I was trying to create a main page for my site using the IPB wrapper and skins, but right away ran in to a problem with many URLs being relative to the IPB root, and therefor not working outside of it So basically, if your forums are forums.domain.com, and want to use www.domain.com as your main site, using the IPB skins is kind of a problem. Just as good design practice, shouldn't the URLs all be fully qualified to begin with anyway?

   Okay, here's the idea let's say you only wanna check new posts in the General >Chat forum, or the technical chat. Why not put a small link/icso in next to each forum AND catagory name/discription which shows only new posts made there. Of course I now that new posts are marked when you are entering a forum, but stil - could come in handy - at least the category-new-post.

   When opening a new topic it would be cool if the board ould search for similar topics and display them and ask whether he meant one of those. This would be decrease opening the same thread twice.

   News system and Polls

   October 25, 2005 by Guest Tarquin999uK

   • 3 replies
   • 2k views

   You have the latest news on main page yes.. but i would like a option in ACP to have news view on the top toolbar where it has forum guidlines and Blogs etc. It would simply need to say "Latest News:" not the date and all of that. I also think the options for news should be changeable to have main page, header or both (up to the user) I also think that the Polls maximum amount of Q's should be customisable in the ACP, if possible make it so that certain forums can have larger limits eg. Discussion forum can have 3 Q's but poll forum can have 10 Q's Im not a professional at scripting or coding etc, but these are some features that would come in handy.

    I'd like to suggest the addition of the choice of each skin to be LTR (left-to-right) or RTL (right-to-left) to make the change for each element in the defult skin easy to be changed. The main problem occures when trying to use the board with a RTL language, the admin should go alot of HTML templates to change some element allignments.

    Some more suggestions

    Some ideas. :P :blink: [*]Calendar import - Unless im mistaken right now a admin can not import calendar data into the calendar. With this this feature they can. [*]Color event based on event - Actually someone else came up with idea but the main thought is say you have a ranged event, those would be (say) blue while one day events would be like green. Darn it. I think I had more but can't remember them right now. i'm post them later (since in about 20 minutes from when I post this) I can not edit my post.

    Bruteforce protection 1 2

    • 9.7k views

    Would be great if there would be some kind of bruteforce protection with Invision Power Board. I just recently changed one of my websites to vBulletin due to the fact that my forum was getting lots of bruteforce attacks - and member accounts were being hijacked this way - first i didnt know how they did it untill i was told the page http://www.mysite.com/forum/index.php?act=Login&CODE=01 is highly vulnerable against bruteforce attacks. And my server logs proof it. Invision Power Board needs a function like vBulletin has, that bans the IP address after X wrong password attempts. Thank you in advance! Regards, Cem

    For all emoticons which have not yet being added, it would be quite nice if placing your cursor in the 'Type' textbox (where you specifiy the text to be replaced with the emoticon) would automatically make the 'Add' checkbox checked.

    Small request

    Proabably not worth a feature in 3.0.0 but of like 3.0.1 or so. Request: A user can blocks words he doesn't want to see. What I mean is say for forums where some of the users post the "dear {User_name}" crap, and other users didn't want to see that when they read the post; currently they can't right now (I think). That's what I am requesting; to be able to 'block/ban' certain words or prahses that users do not want to see.

    can there be a packaged version of IPB already integrated with gallery and blog? so in other words, you just install IPB and then gallery and blog are also installed at the same time. about price, sure, you can charge whatever the cost is (ipb+gallery+blog).

    Making Stormpay IPN and Links System

    I am currently writing a stormpay IPN to automate stormpay payments through ipb subscriptions. Its currently working on 2.0 with just non recurring payments as I don't use recurring payments. So I wanted to know if this is something you guys would use as well and I'll put in recurring payments, upgrading payments. Right now the script supports stormpays secret_code method, renaming the secret_code variable, as well as md5 hashing of the secret code. I have also attached a clip of a links system I am making that is almost complete if anyone would like to use it I can probably release it as well. (would have posted this in Customer Hints but I can't upload there) link…

    Pre-Sale Questions

    Hello there, I'm not very familiar with Invision Power Board and have a few pre-sale questions. 1) When you buy the $70 license, does the Power Board come with a portal script? Version 1 came with Invision Dynamic Lite so wondering if something similar came along with Power Board version 2. 2) Besides Invisionpower.com, what other sites are available to find hacks, mods, templates, images, and etc? Thank you in advance.
