  1. So wouldn't it be simpler to check if a (successful / working) media tag is contained between two other tags, and just output it differently?
  2. I can make HTML work in error messages, edit the error in the language file. 1. Good idea. 2. All a moderator really does it moderate forums, the mod tools at the top of every page, and member editing ability. I never saw any reason they would ever need ACP access. 3. There's a trash can... simply restrict all the admins from viewing it, even yourself (may require some mysql queries).
  3. Not sure what an owner could do, but what about a user array for uploaded attachments. I guess regular permissions are still the default, but when downloading the attachment via URL (or bbcode, w/e), the checks could see if the user's id belongs in the array, and then allow them to download. And the owner of the attachment (uploader) and/or administrators (or super mods) have the permissions to share the file with others. :)
  4. A "sharing url" would result in your content being easily shared among other sites, thus rending registrations pointless. As for pointing to downloads on your own site, you can simply still use the URL in the topic, just link to it.
  5. I know many sites import news feeds from various news sites (CNN, Gaming Websites, etc.), and it can be very annoying when the bot or account used to add the topic fills up all of the Recently Added Topics. Could there be an option similar to the IP.Shoutbox, where we can add the form IDs of what is or isn't allowed (based on a combobox dropdown, of Whitelist or Blacklist). :)
  6. A sub-section in Topics, Posts and Polls where an administrator can set a value that determines if the post has X many words, and another area where you can add keywords to search for, if they X many words is greater than how many the user submitted. So if I put 5 words, and "thank", "great" (loose terms), and someone makes a reply under 5 words, containing at least one of the keywords, it's automatically deleted, and given rep to the first post.
  7. It's not available, and would be a cool idea. A similar suggestion brought up a while back was to allow users to purchase 1 or more subscriptions. I personally would prefer this one added.
  8. I know how to decode Zend encoded files. I'm not sure if anyone else has the tool used to do it, as it's not findable by simple search engine searching, but encoding files isn't always the option. In my opinion, if I spent money of virtual goods that I later did not want, I expect to NOT get a refund. It's like trying to get a refund for a game you don't like... that's what rentals are for.
  9. Thanks for the simple, yet direct reply. Good to know others have differing opinions on the matter too.
  10. I was discussing forum software with my friend, as he is starting a forum and I recommended IPB to him (of course). Later on (after having the board setup and working) he found out that vBulletin boards are not permitted on his host. So my question to you is, do you allow the end user to run a website using vBulletin software on your hosting packages? I thought it was an interesting rule, and I don't think anyone has ever stopped to ask this before. I understand everyone has their differences / opinions towards the difference forum software companies out there, but I would like to know this.
  11. Thanks for confirming this, makes me feel better knowing that a Community Dev has "confirmed" the issue. :) Thanks for reporting it. :)
  12. I'm speeding up my server, and was cross referencing executed queries per unique page @ total users to the server load, and found that in most instances (Index, Forum View, Topic View, Downloads (Index, Category, File) View, Members) the executed query count has a highest value of 20 (at least on my installation). Now, I understand that the # changes for each forum/topic, etc. but 95% of the time, nothing goes above 20 queries, except private conversations viewing goes above a whopping 70. Is there any way that it can be loaded with less queries?
