Robulosity2 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 More customizations to user profiles. There's a very good line between absurd and functional. While I agree there could be some additional tweaking to how profiles behave and act they do not really need "more bloat" (users don't need to drag and drop blocks, they don't need to install applications, they don't need to be able to do half of what they do on Facebook/MySpace just because they want to) If we want to fluff up that aspect of our site, were welcome to. There's nothing stopping those who do by spending some time to learn php, css and the core function commands of the IPS Platforms ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more customization features such as maybe a table color......as of right now vB 3.x has more profile customizations and that's an older piece of software.....

Jυra Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Tagging, improving the mod community, making IP Gallery less lame, documentation, and more gogogo speed. More customizations to user profiles. Doesn't have a use and doesn't help discussion. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have a use and doesn't help discussion. No thanks. It does have a use. it gives members a little more control over their accounts and a little more originnality. Making IP.Gallery 'less lame'? yeah thats really useful..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abomination Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 dunno... Maybe only have the replies marked as read that have been displayed on the users computer screen? Instead of marking an entire topic marked as read, regardless of how much of it was read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow82x Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 - Yes! Speed. IP.Board feels slightly sluggish compared to free forum softwares. - Better Post Tracking (Unread Replies) - WYSIWYG => Regular Editor, Editor Button - Referral System - Improved Buddy List Feature and Layout - Ability to "Like" status updates Just to list a few.

whitetigergrowl Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Nothing. It has reached the zenith of forum perfection. Now they can start downgrading and working back towards the IPB 1.0 days. It's the circle of forum life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DKiwi Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 A lot of us have been asking for better control over attachments especially image attachments. I want to allow zips up to 2mb, jpegs, png's up to 400kb and specify a maximum resolution but I can't. All I can control is what file extension can be uploaded and what the maximum file size is. The gallery still needs some work as well. 3DKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous IPB User Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I would like to see social groups and a better reputation system. The current reputation system is far to easy to abuse and a few small tweaks to the system could prevent most of the abuse. The warning system could us some work to, perhaps having a report in the report center whenever someone is warned so all the moderators are up to date with what is going on with the forums.

Alan.T Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 More customizations to user profiles. I agree to that one. Maybe do like a fan page or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimPappa Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Better image resizing, and a major overhaul of the gallery. Lots of room for improvement, album view, and image/media uploading. Ability to use keyboard left and right arrows to view previous & next photo. Upload status indication? 20% done. The topic is asking for opinions on what can be approved, try not to bash people for writing their ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TestingSomething Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Mostly improve the skinnign throughout the board and all apps. In the past someone told me they were working on "major changes" to gallery and blog to where they would look extremely different. And that was over a year ago, so no clue what happened with that. I personally don't like the color scheme so much, but that's just personal preference. As far as features I'm not so sure I care about anything big being added.

Jυra Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 social groups would be an excellent addition :) Generally if you want to disagree with someone, you'd counter their view or show it differently. People will eventually be put off by the bloat. Nobody who wants a forum will want a big random thing with a ton of useless features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
