Hi, @Ryan H.

I just upgraded to IPS 4.1.18 and tried to upgrade your app from 3.1.17 to 3.1.18, but got this error:

1C133/9 The application you uploaded cannot be installed because it is not a valid application, the archive is corrupt or the file and directory permissions in /applications do not allow it.

I already applied all patches from this page.

No, I mean that now if I want to change a prefix, I need to open a topic and edit it. It would be nice if I can do this without opening the editing page. Like the default AJAX rename topics function by the long click on the title.

I've found a way to reach this: edit tag title directly in the DB

@Ryan H. please, can you add an easy and quick way to change prefix without editing topic?

Yes, I have. I didn't know that it impacts perfixes too. Is it possible to make prefixes without lowercasing? Because prefixes are defined by me, and I'm sure that I set good looking prefixes while users who use tags can make them ugly.

A new prefix becomes lowercased after saving (at least in Cyrillic). For example, I'm trying to create "Реклама", but after saving I get "реклама".

I moved a topic with a prefix to the forum, where prefixes are not allowed. And now I can't remove or edit this prefix. It's still visible.

May be a prefix should be removed automatically in such cases?

Thanks for the explanation! Now I'm confused only with MD5 hash. May be it's better to generate unique names for every user who use this function like Guest 1, Guest 2, Guest 3 e.t.c.? It would be much easier for other users to distinguish different guests in one topic. I don't think, it would require additional SQL load, because User instance, if I'm not mistaken, would include new column automatically.

My idea is that neither users, nor admin don't have to think about hashes and internal mechanism of the plugin.

Thank you!

What if I specify poster name? All anonymous posts will have one author? Would it be possible to determine the author account by the admin?

If user makes a post and after that want to edit it or want to reply to the questions of the other users. Can he do that? Or it technically would be an another user and nobody can guarantee that these two posts belong to the same user?

I don't understand why does this plugin use ugly MD5 in nick names. It looks too complicated and user unfriendly. Why not to simply show original names to those who can see them and show default name for the others?

What would happen if I delete this plugin?

I added custom css rule:

.nbPinned  {
	background: #e5e5e5;
    border-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.03);
    color: #333333;
  	font-weight: bold;
}

.nbPinnedPin {}

.nbPinnedOthers {}

In the most forums it looks good:

But in some forums "Other topics" don't have css style:

Have the same issue on some photos. Is there any progress, @Clover13?

It would be great if you add new format: how many years, months and days user is registered. Like "Experience: 3 years 5 months 2 days" and short forms like "Experience: 3 years".

If user faces bump limit using this button his first idea will be to bump it in traditional way by posting "BUMP!!!11" :)

What if user leaves a message in the topic? Will it be bumped too? If yes, users can cheat in this way.

I think, it would be better to allow textarea for feedbacks and change column type to "text" in DB.

It looks like some blocking for Chinese IPs, because it's still unavailable for me.

Does this mod have a text limit for the feedback message? Is it possible to make multiline big reviews?
