You could always set up a test board and fiddle with that and see if you can find any bugs. :D I'll make a wager with you. I pick from now until the year 2050. :lol:

My hosting company limits my SQL database to 100mb each and I'm sure some other hosting companies do the same thing. So the idea I had is to allow the admin to make use of multiple databases. The idea would be to branch off large database hogs into another database such as the skins. Currently I can only imagine having a main database and then an alternate for the skins, but I imagine that it could be done for other things as well.

How about being able to [X] items from view altogether, rearrange the order and with an 'edit' option, you could add/re-add more items. With some items being unmovable or undeleteable via the ACP of course (so if an admin wants to include an ad, then they could and the member couldn't [X] it).

What about "linking" member groups, sort of like linking files/folders in Linux or perhaps having aliases?

Not laughing at the person, laughing at the confusion. I try to find the humor in things, helps me to smile more which leads to a more positive attitude and a positive attitude is a good things to have. I try to understand what the person means, regardless of how they say it. When I think I understand, I try to rephrase it and see if that's what was meant, to be sure. That way if someone else is having a problem understanding, when they get to my post and see that's what they meant, it will help to get the idea across better. Likewise, if someone else figures it out and restates it, it helps me to understand what the person meant. As a point that I sometimes make to people (this works best for those who understand English and it's structure): Tha perpus ov werdz iz to commoonekayt a thawt. (The purpose of words is to communicate a thought.) In other words, it doesn't matter how someone spells it or says it, so long as the idea makes it way across, the goal is accomplished. So I don't go saying "You said it wrong so you must be stupid" or anything like that. At times, I may give the person some guidance on how it's said or what to say, but I never judge a person for trying. :)

Okay so per user, would have something like: Receive PM's from: (_) From everyone except those you have blocked (_) Only from Admins, friends and users in the same user group as you. (_) Only from Admins and Friends (_) Only from Admins. It should be set to "Everyone" by default, with an option in ACP to change the default setting.

Okay so what you're wanting is to make it so that if someone speaks French, they would be a in a French group, but someone who speaks English would be in an English group, but have same 'abilities' and settings as each other? If so, that's simple enough. Create both groups with 'dummy' settings, where neither group gives them anything other than the name of the group and a related permission mask (FR for French and EN for English, for example). Next, create a group named "Privileges" and set that to be what you want both groups to be able to do. Then just set each member to have Privileges as a secondary group. :)

I'm thinking that something like this should be a mod, where there's an area for opening support tickets and then when the issue is solved, the OP can close it.

He means for regular members to be able to do that, not just moderators.

That'd be PM not MP. :lol: So what you mean is to make it so that someone could ignore all PM's if it's not from someone on their friends list?

MP?

Huh? :blink:

No biggie.. Just might be easier for people to find if they are looking for the topic. Especially if they do a title search for documentation. I'd like a detailed description of what each permission setting does for the acp restrictions.

Not to be a stick in the mud but could the topic be corrected in the spelling? :lol:

The people who work at IPS are humans?!? :blink:

I know a feature request for IPB.. Laughing gas! If your board is having an all out war among the members, you can inject laughing gas on it so that people will start lightening up and being nice to each other. Or inject it into only certain topics or on certain members profiles. :D

Not to mention how they do evil things like fixing bugs, listening to our feature requests and concerns, and not to mention the ultimate in punishment, they let us play with the beta releases! :lol:

Ah okay I get it now. So um, hey bfarber, bug!!! :D j/k

Screenshots? I'm kind of not getting what you're talking about since it all seems to be consistent for me.

It's all cool. I was just pointing out the flip side of things for him. Never once insulted him for his decision because it's up to him. :)

I had renewed an IPB license for the same reason, so when it expired and IPB3 still hadn't been released, I waited a short while before renewing it again. Oh well, it allowed me to make sure things were up to date.

The problem with that is that you can't participate in the beta testing, so if there's a bug that is yet unfound that you end up finding after the final is released, it's a bug that could have been fixed before final. That and I'd expect final to be release before October (ie, August or September). Of course, I'm trying to over estimate a bit here, but even if it were to be the end of September, your license would still be valid. Heck, at this point, anytime this year and your license would still be valid.

So where did you find it?
