My main suggestions are:
- more control on the sidebar -> easy adding of custom new blocks
ability to add html and php to new blocks
ability to easily add block feeds as in ip.content;
for ex. -> latest posts from x forum, latest downloads / images / ip.content articles, most popular topics / articles / images / downloads etc.; RSS from other sites; Random images / topics / articles / downloads, image/topic/download/article of the day etc
blocks to show not only on the home forum page but on subforums as well and possibly on topics view
blocks permissions -> which block to show in which forum/subforum for which groups
ability to control sidebar width
- tags for topics allowing similar topics to show + tag cloud to show on forum home page as a block
possibly integration with the tags system of ip.blog, ip.content, ip.downloads
Show not only similar topics but also similar blog post, ip.content articles, ip.gallery images, ip.downloads
- integrated google sitemap not only for ipb but for all ip applications Additional suggestions are:
- google ads integration -> ability to put google ads in different places (header, sidebar block, within first post, below the first post, footer etc.) with permission system per group/forum
- when I write a post and midtime someone posts in the same topic, I must be notified
- contact us page with varoius options
- force some members to re-confirm/remind the board rules; if they do not reconfirm, they get banned
I know that for some of the above there are 3rd party solutions already but it would be nice if these are integrated as native options.
As always keep up the good work!
