Better modqueue options!

July 5, 2005 by Guest //Nathan

Hey, I don't know about you guys, but I think the modqueue feature is really cool... but not used for all it could be. I have a couple suggestions to extend the modqueue feature to do a little more. 1. "Post to Mod Queue" should be a new option between "Post New Topic" (or "Add Reply") and "Preview Post." That way, if you're not sure if something's allowed, rather than ask a mod, you could put it in the queue and let them approve or disapprove it. Example: I make a post about a file I found on BitTorrent, and I know talking about filesharing is a no-no, but the file in question isn't copyrighted. So I make a post about the file in general, post it, then make a reply…

Hi Matt I just made a topic in my IPB 2.0.4 and from the start i wantet to hide the topic because i did not finish it. When i say there needs or is missing a option, it because we have no Set Invisible (Unapprove) or Set Visible (approve) when making a new topic, we need to publish or topic, an then go to forum listing, an then select or topic we need to Set Invisible (Unapprove) or Set Visible (approve) I do belive that it is something that you can make in 30 sec :thumbsup:

Tab order for posting new topics

Hey I have a pretty good idea, why doesn't the new post (or full post editing) form have a better tab order. It should be when the form loads up you tab directly to the Topic Title (which it does), then you hit the tab button to go to the topic description (which it does), and then you hit the tab button to go to the post body area (which it currently does not). I would think that this would only take 2-5 minutes to do.

Warning System

This is one thing I think HAS to be in 2.1 The ability for Moderators to set the warning level amount, instead of only Admins. For example, per my Rules - if someone posts something offensive/illegal - that warrants a warning level increase of generally between 25%-75%. This makes it tough work for the Mod to click increase like 10 times, to get it up to 50% - and have an explaination for each time. It'd be MUCH better if the mod could just put in 50 and an explaination - and have it over with. Likewise when decreasing it, you could erase the 50 and put 25 - and an explaination. Hopefully everyone gets my drift.

Cascading permissions

July 4, 2005 by Guest cthree

I'd like to see IPB use a system of cascading permissions and privileges. As it stands there are a series of permissions for global, per group, per forum and per user. However these permissions are all mutually exclusive. I can disable PMs for a group of users but not an individual user for example. My suggestion is to implement a cascading permissions system which a set of permissions flow down from top to bottom ala CSS: Global -> Section (forums/blogs/galleries/etc) -> subsection (gallery category/a forum/etc.) -> Group -> User Every session inherits a set of global permissions. These are then added to or restricted by the member's group and then thei…

Subscription Manager

Hi - This feature suggestion relates to the SM component of IPB. Although the ACP now contains options allowing a Show Subscriptions and Force Subscription on registration, I think the SM should be tied still closer to the registration process. Currently this is what happens when the Show Subscriptions and Force Subscription feature is activated: The registration screen contains a section which does not allow the registration to be submitted until a subscription package has been selected. Once the subs package is selected the new member is allowed to register. They then have to login (after the registration has been accepted). I guess the seperate log in is a …

I'm hoping to see the possibility to unsubscribe within topics. Making the 'Track this topic' a 'Unsubscribe' link if you're already subsribing to the topic you're reading. I think it's strange this isn't included already. :huh: Maybe there's some performance reason to it that I'm not aware of?

Forum Permissions

I mentioned something like this long ago, in a post far far away... Keeping it as simple as possible Take current permission system. Add in 3 possibility for clicking. Instead of "checked" or "not checked".. Have "checked", "solid" or "none" Checked = Those that have this setting get this permission (as is now) None = (well you know) Solid = MUST have this permission mask, no matter what. Could be useful in restricting access some by a positive requirement. If you put, say, 3 solid marks under the "start topic" column, then the only ones who could post would be those who have all 3 of those permission masks.

Ive noticed that even though I dont permit moderators from posting in certain forums, they can still post a topic in a forum they moderate, and move it into a forum that I have denied their creating a new topic in. I was wondering if IPB 2.1 can apply the posting permissions on the topic move. If I have missed a feature in IPB, could you please point me to it? also, I do apologize for wasting your time.

Unexpected behavior and removed features.

Hi. I have asked several times over the past few years with no success, so I will ask again and hope that something is done on this. If a user views a poll and decides to print the poll, the expected behavior is that the printed page should contain the poll question and the poll results. Instead, the printed page contains only the replies, and mentions nothing of the poll. Also, the Download HTML Version and Download Microsoft Word Version option for each topic has been missing since 2.1. These options are used regularly by members on my forum (and I would imagine on other forums), and should be added back in. :) Mike

Hi, I have a new suggestin (I hope...). I would call it a bookmarkfunction. You'll see, often I read a lot of topics on a forum, and it can be difficult to remember what site/reply you stopped reading at. The bookmarksystem will be a easy way to find out which site/reply you readed on your last visit here and to come to that place quickly!. The only thing you must do is to click on a bookmarkbutton you easily will find in each reply. See this picture for example (not very good picture, but I hope you see what I mean): When you have pressed this button, it will be generated/maded a new icon (the bookmarkicon) in the categorymenu (with all the topics listed) on…

I did a search before posting this and see many other people posting ideas for expansion for permission masks. I believe it would be nice to see further expansions of Permission opinions for Permission Masks in IPB2.1 Currently we have: Forum Name: Show Read Reply Start Upload Maybe it would be nice to have Post Poll, Vote, Download, can pin topics, can delete own posts, etc. Rather than having them in in Usergroups, wouldn't it be nice to have them in the permission masks as well so specific forums can have their own permissions for each user groups. The usergroups could just be for (We allowed) otherwise. Sorry if this is already being done for V2.1, i …

Click here to see a random MSN Spaces "Blog". To the left is a Music section. Hover over the stars to see an effect/feature that would make the existing topic rating feature alot better and more aesthetically pleasing to the eye! As well as where we currently rate topics, perhaps this could be added to the Topic List view so topics can be rated without having to actually go into the topic itself (again). I just feel a drop down box is a bit OTT for rating a topic and looks a bit tacky. Just an idea, hope someone agrees :)

It is fantastic, however I had a discussion with a friend on MSN about user interfaces etc. As i see IPS coding their product to be more user friendly I found an interesting link that could show some interest in future releases: http://script.aculo.us/drag-and-drop It is a drag and drop interface that could be excellent if integrated correctly.
