Are there really people still setting up 32-bit servers on the internet with less than 3GB of memory?

This is something I thought of after I sent in a ticket request the other day asking about custom profile fields. My question was that the max length is not adhered to by the script and how it returned an odd error. For those that are unaware of this, if you create a field with a max character length of 10, the maximum length of the text area will not be 10. But if the value is more than 10 it would return an error. Since there is a lot of AJAX programming now in IPB I hope that maybe they would consider implementing something like this in the next version of IPB: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/de...tion/index.html The little check mark could go a long way in validating the field so that it meets the proper parameters (even if empty is a parameter that is allowed). It would even allow them to do away with excess error pages.

I just recently thought of this. I have noticed many times where there are users on these forums asking for help who are not customers themselves but rather they are moderators or administrators on an IPB. Maybe something that would be good would be a more advanced alternate contacts system where the Account Administrator (individual/entity who paid for and owns the license) would have a setup almost like the permissions settings from IPB which would allow maybe one alternate contact the ability to send in ticket requests, while others it would only allow them to access the customer only forums for basic assistance on how the boards work so that way they could be asked in the customer areas. Or if a full permissions system is too much, maybe access levels would suffice (1-forums only, 2-forums + tickets, 3- Account Administrator only).
