Digitalis Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hey everyone, So being new here, and having used CMS's before and developed websites etc, i've been thinking of ways to improve IPB/S. 1. http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/331482-ipcontent-mainpage/ This seems to be a fairly widespread complaint, so i suggest definitely looking at implementing this in your next update :) 2. Date and time of post 3. An edit button to stay on all posts a user has created (i'm unsure if this is a local problem limited to just this board or not as i'm waiting for my board to get installed) That's all until i play properly with the software once its installed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 1) Over time we will keep pushing IPB in this direction (where there's no requirement for the forums app itself), however right now the forums is expected and required, and serves as the default index. This is something that will likely eventually change, but not immediately. 2) There is a date and time on every post already. :unsure: 3) Most likely this is simply because you don't have permission to edit the particular post. There is an edit button under every post for me, and will be for your users as well if they have permission to edit their posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the small text above each post (it's quite light, too) 3) There can be an edit limit, if you choose to have one (it's an admin setting).

Digitalis Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 hey i see it lolz :s but the edit button still disappears after x-time, be nice if it stayed, but i think that's related to this board. Anywayz, some more pretty small/simple suggestions for 3.2 1, Birthday greeter 2, welcome pm option 3, Global forum message (display a bar of highlighted text up the top of your board to announce important comeptitions or whatever you might want to annouce. Viewable by specific user groups etc) I know these can be modded onto your board, but they're just so simple, it'd be nice to just have them to begin with :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalis Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 yea i knkow they're there, but i just thought it'd be decent to have it standard with IPB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jυra Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I get 20+ happy birthday emails every year from forums and other sites. I don't mind a meaningful announcement, but no thank you. I wish I could see the suggestions for IP Content, as many of us cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
