Thanks Josh, I didn't realise I could do it via the templates. Thanks again!

Go Cougs!

Impressive list! But I want more!

• An ad attachment feature when sending private messages would be great!
• An optional extra subject field in posts. This could be used to let the user via scroll lists or, better, buttons indicate predefined topics when making a new post. These topics should be seen in the post list but also be added to the search page, to enable predefined topic searches. This gives the user more accurate results than with regular searches.
  
  Admin should be able to set this feature on or off, and specify the topics, individually for each forum.
• More advanced user profiles. The profiles should be more dynamic, allowing users to use UBBcode. More features like a personal diary and guest book, personal picture album, etc.
• Make the view/read rights incluude not only forums, but also user profiles.
• With numbers instead of usernames, I would like to have the option to strip specified forums from all fields showing usernames. This to give registered users an anonymous forum.
• Option to set a forum to "private replys only" wich changes the reply link to a PM link. Optional if a PM created as a reply from such a forum should show recipents username or not: this should be connected to the "anonymous forum feature" mentioned above.
• All in all: make UBBT be more of a modern platform for a web based community, rather than "just" a forum system.

Are there anymore changes Rick?

Pretty-pink jazz > Boring-brown country music

Dixie Narco vending machines > Vendo and Royal Vendors vending machines

Boeing 767-400 > Airbus A330

Delta Airlines > All other airlines

HP printers > All other pritners

I'd *guess* that it's probably feature frozen at this point.

The infopop newsletter that went out the other night said we were potentially a few weeks away from a beta in the members area. <Fingers Crossed >

But that also means that 6.3 will be on it's way to the drawing board. That's the great things about software with frequent updates.

I appreciate the feature set may be frozen.. but im watching with keen interest all the changes as I may decide to switch our board across to threads from classic.

It would be nice to be able to have extra fields in the registration for users to add details about themselves, but be able to define if those fields are viewable to users on the site.. Users hate giving their real names as they can be displayed, but I would still like to know who they are.. so maybe the option for admins only to see certain defined fields would be good?

Thanks!
Matt

That's actually a good idea.

You should post it in the Feature Request forum too... as I believe Infopop logs and tracks feature requests.

Hi Rick, how do the pointers look like (the ones that point to moved threads)? Also, once they've been around for a couple of days for everyone to see, will they disappear automatically?

Go Cougs!

Basically these give the new location. At the time of moving the mover has an option of adding some text to give a reason for the move.

Right now there is no auto-delete function. I'd like to get this in without needing a cron task for it but not quite sure how to go about that yet.

This is untested, but the following query should delete all the pointers that are at least seven days old:

DELETE FROM w3t_Posts
WHERE B_Status='M'
AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - B_Posted > 7 * 24 * 3600

P.S. I'm not sure if any other tables need to be updated at the same time, though. The board post counts, at least, would need to be adjusted.

Rick, if I may suggest one small change. It would be really great if the censor feature could work like it does here on the Infopop Community Forums. What I mean is having certain words replaced with **** , even when they are part of a longer word. So that ****er or ****ing would also be "starred out" and not appear in full.
