Let users add a poll to an open topic

October 16, 2005 by Guest XanthicBB
0 replies

Previously, there was an "Add Poll" button that let users add a poll to an existing topic. However, with the new poll system in 2.1, the only way to add a poll to an existing topic is to reply to it. This is quite annoying when you don't need/want to make a text reply. :ermm: I suggest putting the "Click here to manage this topic's poll" link on the edit screen of the first post of a topic.

Links to a Topic

Hi everyone, I'm a member of Allpar Forum's. Sometimes users need a question answered about their cars, and they post the same question (Copy & Paste) into 5 different forums. And since not everybody checks each and every forum, the same question gets the same answer by 5 different people at different posts/forums. So, my suggestion is, why not make 1 post, and allow users to "add links" to other forums directly instead of manually making a new topic to supply the link? It should be easy to implement it since the same feature exists when a moderator moves a post to another forum. (Where it asks "Leave a link to the new topic in the source forum?") -Quadraphonic

I'd like to suggest a navigation bar instead of links under the logostrip, i've added my own but it would look much better if it was a standard feature of IPB, i'm not that keen on links, much prefer buttons

Personal Messages : Sent Messages

Something that has bugged me for a while now is the fact that you have to check a box to get messages to appear in your Sent Messages folder. However, there's also a message tracker, which you have to (again) check a box to activate. Would it not make more sense to either merge the two options into one function, by having the message tracker feature integrated into Sent Messages? If not, as you have a second option with more detail (message tracker), could the Sent Messages option be enabled by default?

I dont' know about you guys but to me it would nice if some things could be sorted by just clicking the 'item' like in blogs. . So like "REPLIES, VIEWS, LAST POST". Same for some other places in the forum/ACP. Doesn't have to be a 3.0.0 feature; but probably a small feature for a security fix of 3.0.0.

distributable ban filters/common spam list

somewhat relating to this thread, I think it would be great if there was a way to share or distribute lists of known spammers from a centralized location. I don't know about you all, but I've been getting hit a lot lately with guest posts spamming poker sites and the like. I don't want to restrict posting to members only, but if there was a way for our incredibly huge community to share spam lists, that would really help clean things up.

I need to validate my members before allowing them to become a member. In order to know wether or not they are elegible to become a member I need to see three custom profile fields required for registering. I suggest a way that I can either receive this information in the e-mail I receive requesting validation or in ACP under "Manage Validating"?

Code improvement suggestion

Hi, Our forums are on a size that requires us to use several servers, we are also using an internal apache-proxy system, but here we get a little problem. The server variable $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] returns the IP adress of the web server (since apache runs 2 instanses at once), but the real variable is $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']; Perhaps something to include in the code somewhere, because before we fixed it, the sessions table was truncated all the time, and users logged on, total users online etc did not work. But hey, the load went straight up :)

Hey People, I've been noticing that after upgrading from v1.3 my forums have been very slow, now i'm not sure what queries ipb ran in v1.3 but after a lil tests I found out that a major slow-down, at least for big forums with lots of traffic and members (over 160,000) is the fact that almost every access to the ibf_members table is done with a "WHERE LOWER(name)=..." or "WHERE LOWER(member_display_name)=...", and after running explain on this queries i found out that when they run MYSQL IGNORES name/member_display_name INDEXES, look at this for example: mysql> explain SELECT m.name, m.id, m.member_login_key, m.email, m.title, m.mgroup, m.view_sigs, m.view_img, m.v…
