Well, to be fair, I'm pretty sure they are going to be charging for it unless you want to be limited to a small number of users in the chat. :) ..Al

I made no changes whatsoever to the skin_chat bits. I just went in and verified there are no rid icons next to any of the bits. The skin looked fine with the first Beta, but broke when I upgraded to Beta 3 yesterday. I am sad. ..Al

I did clear my browser cache and even used another browser that had never previously seen the chat and they both show the malformed chat window. ..Al

I installed Beta 3 yesterday and now my IP.Chat skin is not rendering properly. It looks fine with the default IP.Board 3.0 skin, but not with my custom skin. This did work properly with Beta 1 (too bad I didn't take a screenshot then!) but for some reason it's hosed now with Beta 3. It renders the same in Firefox and Safari. I uploaded the Beta 3 files and then ran the upgrader, all of which seemed to work without a hitch. Any suggestions? I'd like to offer this to my subscribers so they can test it. :) I recall someone else posting a similar screenshot, so I'm curious how they resolved it. Thanks! ..Al

Chat software is more complex than it seems. :) ..Al

Good, glad to hear it's working for you now. :) ..Al

Please do not let those who "do not understand the concept" get you down or discourage you from sharing beta products like this in the future. I, for one, very much appreciate having an early look at IP.Chat. I enjoy being able to provide feedback in the way of suggestions and bug reports before a final version of a product is released. ..Al

Well, if it's anything like the iPhone, the Aqua-Soft mobile skin loads and renders *MUCH* faster than the "desktop" skin, and you don't need to spend a lot of time zooming in and out to read/navigate. My users have been quite happy to see this new skin. I just want to make sure it's rendering properly on an Android phone. ..Al

I recently added Android detection for the Aqua-Soft iPhone/iPod Touch skin, which now has support for Android. Here's the user agent I added: I haven't tested this though, so if someone with an Android (1.6+) phone could visit my forum to verify they are properly seeing the mobile skin, I'd appreciate it: http://atariage.com/forums/ Thanks! ..Al

I did not try clicking on it a second time, but that indeed worked. And I'm not getting kicked out of my own chat room. :) If I leave and come back, it loads properly. However, each time I do so, it adds another copy of my user to the "Online Chat Users" box (so there are three copies of me right now..) ..Al

I am also seeing this error. I am also using the spam service without any issues. If I need to open up certain ports, please let me know. :) ..Al

I just installed this mod and if I don't have any forums blocked, I get a driver error when attempting to view "Today's Active Content": LEFT JOIN ibf_members m ON ( m.member_id=p.author_id ) LEFT JOIN ibf_forums f ON ( f.id=t.forum_id ) WHERE t.forum_id IN (88,89,24,46,104,105,50,51,52,53,54,55,60,103,98,59,64,115,109,92,93,107,69,77,78,79,101,56,100,66,67,68,63,102,16,3,4,13,14,19,12,20,17,116,21,36,18,5,8,23,9,26,10,15,22,106,118,111,110,82,62,29,11,30,76,84,7,32,33,34,35,112,70,85,45,6,61,27,25,72,49,81,37,31,65,73,75,86,91,90,99,87,94,95,97,108,96,117) AND t.state != 'link' AND t.last_post BETWEEN 1257789480 AND 1257875880 AND t.forum_id NOT IN ( ) ORDER BY t.last_post desc LIMIT 0,1001 SELECT t.*,p.*,m.members_display_name, m.members_seo_name, m.member_id,f.id as forum_id FROM ibf_topics t LEFT JOIN ibf_posts p ON ( p.pid=t.topic_firstpost ) Looks like the problem is with the "NOT IN ( )" near the end of the statement. I fixed this by modifying the block of code in search.php as follows: if( $this->request['search_app'] == 'forums' AND $this->settings['sos30_blockforums_on'] AND in_array( $this->member->getProperty('member_group_id') , explode(',', $this->settings['sos30_blockforums_groups'] ) ) AND $this->memberData['blocked_forums'] != '' ) { $this->search_plugin->setCondition( 't.forum_id', 'NOT IN', $this->memberData['blocked_forums'] ); } /* (SOS30) Block Forums from 'View New Content' v1.0.1 */ Basically just added another check to the if statement to make sure there are forums to be blocked before adding the NOT IN statement. ..Al

Fantastic, thanks for updating this for 3.0, I will be installing it today!! ..Al

Same here, I have a dedicated server at the moment and my plans are to use two servers for my site not long down the road. I'd much rather use my own server for this than have to rely on a third-party server. ..Al

Great work. :) Would it be possible to link the index to all the individual posts? :D ..Al

I agree with these suggestions. Searching these forums is often a lesson in frustration. I would also suggest reducing the minimum keyword size to three characters instead of four. That would make it much easier to search for various technical terms, such as "css". ..Al

On the "Members Spam Queue" page, can you please add an option to the drop-down at the bottom of this page to "Delete Members"? I have been marking obvious spammers on the "Member Validating Queue" page so the information gets sent to Invision. However, I then want to delete these spammers as they don't need accounts on my system. However, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do that. Thanks! ..Al

File Name: Classic PM Notification Box 1.0 File Submitter: AtariAge File Submitted: 05 Mar 2006 File Category: Modifications Are you disappointed that IPB removed the red Personal Message notification box in 2.1.x? You can now restore this style of PM notification with this mod. The My Assistant will no longer pop up when a user has a new PM, but instead the user will see the 2.0.x style PM notification window at the top of your forum. The "New PMs" tab will still be visible in the My Assistant if you bring it up manually and have new messages sitting in your Inbox. Only two source files need to be edited and two skin changes are required. Please make a backup of your skin as well as the source files we'll be changing before you get started, so you can revert back if there are any problems. Click here to download this file

I agree, it would be nice if the software had some basic password selection enforcement, such as not allowing use of your username as your password as suggested above. Another would be not allowing single dictionary words. A settable minimum password length is another good one. Ultimately some sort of "meter" that shows your password strength, with suggestions on how to choose a good password would be ideal. :) ..Al

Would it be possible to add "Ignore User" back to the profile page in 3.0? It was there in 2.3.6 (in the "Options" drop-down menu), but seems to be absent in 3.0. Thanks!! ..Al

Yeah, I have it running on three different installs right now (my 2.3.6 forum, which is offline except for me as a reference), my development 3.0.2 forum and my live 3.0.2 forum. It works well, although only the live forum is getting any significant use. :) ..Al

I'd really love to see a skin differences report as well as a diff of the CSS between 3.0.2 and 3.0.3. :) ..Al

As an aside to this, I noticed that when I go the any subsequent pages of search results, it takes some time for them to appear, as if it's repeating the search. I also couldn't open any conversations while this query is taking place (not sure if this is also affecting other users). This is making the search rather unwieldy for me to use. :( ..Al
