I think you should be able to convert a topic into a private conversation. So if one person posts a topic that is personal you can easily convert into a private conversation Because it might be better to talk there

I run a Colostomy support message board where patients help each other with support and advice of dealing with a colostomy, be it for a few weeks temporarily, of permanently due to cancer etc. My board also has a pretty large off topic posting community contained within it.

I would very much like to be able to disable post reputation in the off-topic forums, so that reputation is based on supportive posts to users needing support in our ostomy-support forums, rather than from posting cute pics of the dog with a toy in the off topic forums.

So, that's my suggestion for a future build of IP Board. It would really make my community better. I did ask in peer to peer if this was possible with current settings etc, and was told it was worthwhile posting a request in here. :)

Another possible feature, which would be useful in cases of the reputation system being abused is a setting that lets ONLY the Original Poster being able to vote as to which replies/posts have been useful to them.

Many thanks for reading this. I hope those ideas are useful to you. :)

I have a small request to make for future updates to IPB (hopefully 3.0.1 :P).

I would like to see the option to change the default post view threshold for members, as discussed here. The default is "Currently viewing all posts", but I would like to be able to change this to a custom threshold of "Hiding all posts below -3 points" by default (or however many points you choose).

This would be a great way for the community to actively moderate topics, by negative voting on unsuitable posts. Once enough negative votes have been made, the post will be hidden. Sort of like "burying" on Digg.

Good idea for support issues.

This doesnt just have to be a chat bar thing. It could be used as a taskbar thing

Hi,

In version 2, the administration could not have been translated. In version 3, it is still not possible entirely. The phrases of the left column menu are stored in separate files.

Can we (international users) expect a fully tranlatable administration interface in the near future?

Thanks
