Exactly. We commonly get shared servers with large post tables where the server is starting to lock up because someone did a complex search. To have to re-run that query multiple times is not going to happen. Our hosting department would kill me.
-
That is an RSS import forum and the task simply hasn't imported it yet. :) If you go to the blog directly, the entry is there. For those of you wondering, Charles posted an update entry in the blog tonight. And for the record, I didn't say "When it's ready" in my last reply at all, kthxbai

We'd love to, but it would mean running a count query (using, sometimes, complicated where clauses, group bys, etc.) for each application installed - and we felt that doing that could be a big resource hog when most people are just browsing new forum posts. Searching is already resource intensive - we didn't want to compound that if it wasn't necessary.

I've used the maxmind database you linked to in personal mods. :) 1) It is updated periodically (monthly) so we'd need to keep it up to date 2) You must display a link/acknowledgement in documentation and advertising materials 3) To redistribute (this is the biggie) you have to purchase a commercial redistribution license. Again....it's just one of those things better left to a modification in my mind. As I've done such mods, I know it's not that difficult to integrate this particular database.
-
You can always change it back in your skin if you want for the record. :)

Let's move this to the IPB feedback area, as it's more appropriate there.
-
There's no standardized way of looking up a country based on the IP. T his would require a complex, ever-changing database of IP-to-country mappings, or integration with a third party service (and all proper services I've seen are pay-only). As such I think it's best left as a modification. A useful one, granted, but I'd still probably leave it for a custom modification nevertheless.

The quick reply loads all the editor JS once you click into it to speed up the general page loading a little bit. Statistically speaking, many more people read than reply. So by not loading/setting up the editor JS until it's needed, the page is done rendering quicker. :)
-
Rikki specifically avoided using sprites because many amateur or beginner skinners will have a harder time understanding them and how they work. You could of course change this in your own skin however.
-
FYI, I think Matt said he updated the CSS here this morning for the lofi skin.
-
I can say it's coming soon. As of right now it's been 2 weeks + 3 days. It's not like we're 3 months off from the estimate. ;) He did say "or so" which you should interpret to mean "plus or minus a week roughly".
-
Ah, yes, I think we haven't given members permission to delete their albums here.
-
If I had known all we had to do to make 3.0 rock was link the ACP logo to the ACP home page I would have done it myself a long time ago.
-
Why exactly? It's not significantly different from 2.x really.
-
You know what I'd love to see that would accomplish this too? A slide out "panel". e.g. imagine like the board index side panel, but closed by default. Just a small arrow on the side of the posting screen. When you click it, it can slide out with the poll, attachment and "other posting options" boxes. 90% of topics will just have the title/description and post field that way, which is what most people use. But then the other data is there for those that need/use it. Like you, just tossing out ideas. One downside to that idea is that it becomes trickier inserting attachments into the post area with that method.
-
I like the rollovers, but would *love* them if they could preload the background image for the rollover. The split second white bg trips me up a bit lol.
-
As already stated your modifications will not work on 3.0. You can't reinstall them, reapply the edits, etc. They simply won't work. You will need to contact the modification authors to find out if they have written updates for 3.0, or if they plan to.
-
Errr, for the record, IPB2 sported database-based topic markers as well. ;) This isn't something new in 3.0. We've simply rewritten the system to try to make it more efficient.
-
Ok, tested locally and the lofi skin looks a ton better locally - seems the CSS isn't fully updated here. Will work with Matt to get it updated tomorrow on the company forums here.
-
Indeed. It was cutting edge technology. You should have patented it and sold it for millions to others. "My Assistant-in-a-box" Now featuring HTML3 and AJAX! I tease, I tease.

I'd find it pretty counter-productive to disallow a user from changing their email address. Just because you don't allow them to change it on your board doesn't mean it hasn't changed. If you don't allow them to update it, they simply won't receive your emails at all. :unsure: To answer your question, no - there is no built in way to stop them from changing their email and there is no option to notify the admin when a user changes their email. You can export CSV data from MySQL using phpmyadmin if you require a list like that.

Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying there. All of IPB uses one JS language file, and the applications don't use any. You can set JS variables in the HTML source if need be. If having a JS langauge file is a necessity for you, the uninstallation routines from the application management screen support running a custom uninstall script - so you can use that to delete the JS files yourself. As for the tabsUsed bit, the source code is encoded presently, but once it's not you can take a look at how we add the tabs. http://resources.invisionpower.com/index.php?appcomponent=cms&module=articles&article=7529 This may be of help as well.

It's not a bug - something happened when we updated the co forums earlier. Working on it now.

How old is the album? Is it possible that you created it during a previous beta version of the software, so your account was never flagged as having an album? Try creating a new album (and then delete it if you don't need it) to see if that resets your account. Does it change my statement however? :P If I spent 6 years writing a calculator application for IPB, it would still be useless *for most members* nevertheless. Just my .02 :whistle:
