Nervosa

I have a little issue with how secondary groups are done.
When a member is part of a secondary group their name does now show up in said group.

Some say they like this because you can have a user as secret moderator of sorts, that's fine, but I would like my users to know who is moderating them if there is an issue.

In order to accommodate users that what anonymity and for and others that would like to display, maybe we could have a check box for groups instead of a list.

So we would see something like...
Primary Group
(would be your normal drop down list)
Users

Secondary Groups
(List all current groups, each group would have a some check boxes. Is a member, Hide member could add other options if needed)
Moderators
Administrators
Community Leaders 1
Community Leaders 2
Super Secret User Group

Another thing would be nice is if you click on a users group in posts / profile and show other memebers in that group.

Would like to see a necro bump feature.

Sometimes you have a user that likes to go back and comment on an old post.
Other users, not paying attention to the original date then comment.
In the ACP there would be a setting where you define the amount of time to pass before this shows up 30, 60, 90days etc.

Then in the thread, when a new post is made after the time designated in the ACP, a message will show between the last post and the most recent one "Necro Bump! There have been XX days between previous and next post."

Might be a better idea to have a check box when you sign up.
That way people know its there when they first join

In the APC we have the option to change a users reputation and can view reputations received and given.
I would like the option to remove reps when viewing reputations received / given.

add: maybe also add and option of how many times a user can vote. Think might help stop users trying to abuse the system.

The report center is nice, but could be a lot better.
Post what you would like to see added or changed.

Active Reports and Under Review -
In the admin bar I would like to see 1 Active Reports, 2 Under Review.
When a reply is made to an active report I feel it should be then placed under review automatically.
Maybe change the wording to New Reports and Active Reports.

Reporting Posts or Users -
I don't see many reports about users show up. I believe this is due to the "user report" being placed in user profile.
A good amount of reports I see are post reports saying something about the user being reported.
I would like to see a way to tie this together so if action needs to be directed to the user, it can be done in the report center.
Maybe link the user to the post.

Reporting Users-
When dealing with a report on a user I would like to see past issues (if any) about the user.
I would like the user to be able to reply to the ticket about them and be able to add to the ticket for other moderators to see.
Would like to see the "Member Warning Center" incorporated here.

Other-
Edit / delete replys (sometimes you might mess up what you post)
Auto close after X days if no reply / update.
Different report categories; spamming, harassment, explicated content, etc.

The only way I know how to Ignore a user is to go to my settings and add them there.
In every post there is a "add as friend" icon, why not an "ignore user" one.
If having it there seems kind of bad could put it in the view profile drop down box.

This feature was on a forum that I used before (MyBB) and I used it all the time.
Basically there was a directory in the admin folder named /backups/

When making an SQL backup, you had the option to create the backup in that directory, instead of downloading it.
Maybe a similar feature could be included in IPB?

Just a suggestion :)

I looked and cannot find if its a setting that can be turned on. So I am guessing that there is no way to print (with formatting..don't tell me ctrl+p its rubbish)the conversations?

The way the forum handles printing of topics would be great for conversations as well. I do not know why this was not provided from the start?

Can we please have this feature in the future.

When useing "ACP Restrictions", if a group doesn't have access to something I would like it for them not to be able to see the tab.

add: Would be nice for the ACP search to only return results that group can use.

When will we start getting update packs rather then having to download everything again?

Yeah I see them there, but I really had to search around to find how to make them in the first place.


When you visit the following...
http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=gallery
http://forums.invisionpower.com/blogs/
You are greeted with more of a community feel. Being a new user (or a user with out a gallery or blog) your at a loss for creating (or getting to) your own.
The only ways to get to your items is clicking on the icons on the forums or via the links in the drop down.

I would like to see more integration into the system.
Most things listed could be done via template changes but I feel that shouldn't be needed.

My profile-
When I visit my profile I would like to be able to add pictures to my gallery and post to my blog, not just view recent things added. (even a link to my blog and gallery would be nice)

Gallery-
When I visit the main gallery page I would like to see some kind of link to my gallery.
You could even have create a new album and a upload a new image. Clicking on the upload image would ask the user what album they would like to add it to or make a new one.

Blog-
Same for blog, I would like to see a link to mine, along with a create new post. (that would be posted in my blog)

Honestly I think Blog needs a major overhaul witch is why I haven't given it much thought for my community.
There are quite a few big blogging sites around, facebook, twitter, myspace. I'm sure a good portion of users here have an account with more then one. Your users are going to want a reason to use blog over them, and what better way then to mimic what works.
I really like facebooks way of grouping friends and how its all kinda linked together. Maybe we can see something like this here. On top of that have a tag cloud or some way for users to see(search)other users blogs that have common interests.
example: If I tag a post with HTML and someone else (that I don't know) makes a post with the same tag, I will be able to see it by viewing common interests.
