Amen I want a description field sooo bad. Once a partner staff of mine bans an IP address I see no reason, and myself being curious always ask them. Also, over the years I forget why I banned an IP in July 2005. I'm all for a description field and separating them. I guess regular expressions would be cool, but the asterisks still work fine for me.

I only have 22 IPs banned. Just checked. However my reserved/blacklisted usernames and not allowed emails list is way to long to count. Some XML I imported back in 2.3 added them all and there is no real way to start fresh.

After using IPB for awhile, I've imported many email spam XMLs packs, and common IPs of spammers. Now I have soo many that when I open the page in the ACP it crashes in Firefox or lags terribly until it can load them. (Be kind, only 2gb of ram on a Pentium 4) How much work would it be to separate them like "IP Ban Filter", "Username Ban Filter" and "Email Ban Filter" to save load times?

Whatever you just did fixed it for me. The hanging pages and long load times are gone.

I'm not an upset customer, please don't get that from this post. I'm just a bit angry right now. I upgraded to 3.0.0 from 2.3.6 and all went fine. After using it for awhile large hiccups came into my way which blocked me from doing some basic functions. I posted the bugs and like 6/8 of them are already fixed. However, now with a live board I have to wait for another build to do basic things such as move members to a different usergroup, edit "IP.Download" files, and leaving custom warn levels. Maybe if the fix doesn't require opening more than 1 file than the fix should be posted? Its a final product and I expect not to have to wait 2 weeks for an update for something simple that I need the functionality for. EDIT: Forget this, its a brand new framework I understand there will be new bugs since that part of the application is untested.

Go to Custom Profile Fields in the ACP. Are there any extras there, that look like ocp?

No girls with laptops? Just Rikki's profile picture? I'm frankly disappointed :P

Please say there is new ladies holding laptops :)

I bet 3.0.1 is like the public golden release. They let the eager eyes test it for its huge public release, but before it goes public public, they will call it 3.0.1.

I knew Brandon saying one little guess of June was a bad idea. People are after him now.

Every 1 hour I think it is. Otherwise if you made a mySQL query to update that tiny number for every visit on a forum this popular, your dB would crash.

Tell your members Sunday, as in "some-day" and they'll think this Sunday, then you say "O sorry, I meant some-day."

After its release there all either going to wait for the big bug that ruins everyones installs'. Or there going to like Florida for some nice waves.

amen to aurorawx, I thought I was the only one who thought it was just a giant mess. Everything is quite squished, my resolution is like 1280 x 1024, so I should be able to fit it, it just looks strange.

You've repeated the same thing now like 6 times. If the guy wants to disable it, then go for it. It seems like a great idea for politics which can get out of hand quickly. Its personally not my 2 cents to do, but you don't have to continue to bash the guy. Also, to correct your laws a bit. Most of the laws only come in place where your server is PHYSICALLY located. In order words my offshore server in Finland can do things that my server in America can not. Thats not entirely true, back on phpBB3 a guy took my 110k user forum down using the 3.0.2 exploit. He stole all the passwords, decrypted them and mass spammed the emails, and still to this day posts the old mySQL dB on the internet. I filled out a FBI IC Form, and never heard back. Talk to my host to take legal action, never happened. If you can get America to fight with you on any online issue, thats a miracle.

Deal with real money on a test thing? I wouldn't do that too risky for me. I think paypal I know has some sort of debug things you can do with "fake" money.

The caution image looks awesome and that whole entire box its in. I love it. Does it only show until your email is activated?

There populated during upgrade or install.

VB has that pet mod, and I just love those little things. I just thought I'd chirp in and say that :)

I thought it looked weird being so big and not centered. Anything honestly could make it better.

Currently in 3.0.0 and 2.3.6 you can set a user group to "Can bypass badword filters?" So that allows you to type whatever you want. However then other users can see your language. I've had a word pack of backwards uploaded since the beginning and its just now bothering me, as I sometimes cannot express myself within the language. I can post it, and everyone sees it which doesn't look good at times as an admin. Would a setting of "Can see/post badwords" be better? So those usergroups can post it and see it, but the usergroups that aren't selected don't. So basically that group still gets the basic "******" in place for words posted by themselves, and other words posted by those usergroups that have permission to post badwords. This would allow the little guys on my forum to stay away from our occasional language, but not interrupt anything for us. I don't know anything about it on the coding side, I just wanted some opinions on this idea.

That would be amazing hosted through resources. It would allow a central point for downloads and updates of the mods. So you wouldn't have to worry about all those 3rd party sites downloads and online status. Mod Authors then can control the updates of their mod through resources releasing the version there which then would connect with the board and alert of an update. I love it.

I think it could be expanded upon just because of its simplicity. I completely agree with not checking every time you load the hook page, since when you get alot of hooks that takes awhile. Since thats being discussed elsewhere, I won't comment. I don't like that the download URL is static, I think the update check should be compared to an off-site XML file that lists version number, download link and whatever else. Then from that you can be pointed to either a direct HTTP download or a mod database where you must login. Just my 2 cents.

Yep, apologies. I got to stop skimming and start reading. Just dump everything but the /uploads/ folder and the config_global file. (Back it up just in case) then upload IPB 3. More detailed install procedure should come around final.

Micheal, owner of the 2.3 tool, that did just that. Plans to port it 3.0 (I hope I'm speaking correctly)
