June 2, 201015 yr 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 ;)

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.....
June 2, 201015 yr 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.
June 2, 201015 yr Tagging, improving the mod community, making IP Gallery less lame, documentation, and more gogogo speed. 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.....
June 2, 201015 yr 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?
June 2, 201015 yr - 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.
June 2, 201015 yr 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.
June 2, 201015 yr 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
June 2, 201015 yr 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.
June 2, 201015 yr More customizations to user profiles. I agree to that one. Maybe do like a fan page or something
June 2, 201015 yr 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.
June 3, 201015 yr Categories for Blogs - when you've got hundreds of them it's one big jumble - root, and possibly sub-categories would be a boon ... :thumbsup:
June 3, 201015 yr AdminCP--Ability to search within a template when it is selected to viewAbility to save historical versions of templatesAbility to compare versions of current/older templates side by side.Forums--(second nomination) Button (in the editor) to switch between RTE and HTML editing formatLinks to Twitter/Facebook profiles if they have synched eitherBB CODE IN PROFILE COMMENTS (with admin controls to enable/disable)Auto media embed in profile comments (with admin controls to enable/disable)
June 3, 201015 yr 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.

Social groups...no. IMO they just distract from the forum and many times, except for a few instances, just end up with a bunch of dead social groups.
June 3, 201015 yr Other than fixing bugs, it's hard to see where IP.Board can improve... Notifications need links to what they are notifying you of. Like status updates need a link to the status.

June 3, 201015 yr Notifications need links to what they are notifying you of. Like status updates need a link to the status. errr... they do...
June 3, 201015 yr 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.
