Against the idea of a forum? Isn't email a means of communication? Huh? The point of a forum is to faciliate discussion, the means for which this is done is irrelevant.

Some individuals are not as apt to engage in conversation because the enviorment is foreign or they're just plain lazy. Any means for which we can ease the medium of exchanging conversation, I am all for it.

I realize that you may have spent a good amount of time on your layout and customizations, but on a good forum where the exchange of ideas is the focal point, that eye candy is just a novelty.

Within the expanded, threaded view, it'd be cool if you box each thread, so that it was definitive as to where one thread ended, and another began.

Add a field to user table that states "last accessed" (anything from reading a forum to posting a message; any activity). This way I could see when a person last visited the forum. You could then eliminate the "Who's Online" table, and just select against this column asking for those who have visited within the last 10 minutes.

Isn't this against the idea of a forum?
I'm not installing a huge forum and spend hours to configure it and then add this function to my board preventing people to come and visit it.
Why should I visit your page If I can answer threads of my interest via email?

Hi Jim,

if you don't want people to visit your forum they will maybe never see which interesting other stuff you offer.

If this is not interesting for you then a maillistlist or newletter with answer function will fit your needs.

In my opinion my forum should bring people together. They should be only, read posts of interest and have the chance to see what else is offered within the forum.

Via email the people will only see postings or replies to the current thread they have an eye on or?

If people visit your page and there are never others online they will maybe never join it again cause they do not see that there might be interesting stuff going on via emailpostings.

Hi,

my moderators reported me that they can't add users to a group using their user number cause they can't search for it.
If I check a userprofile I can see the user number so I think it must also be possible to add this to the searchfunction for my moderators or?

At the moment they can search for usernames but not for membernumbers.

Can you implement this in the next version Rick?

Hi,

it is possible for an admin to logon as the user to help him/her in case there are any problems.
Why isn't it possible to do so if the user is a moderator.

Sometimes it would be nice to give also moderators little help.

Rick can you please make it also possible for an admin to logon as the user if he/she is a moderator?

1. Better polls system, since upgrading to threads, my previous polls are now usless, and I really need them back.

2. The ability for a user to re-request their "activation" email if they don't get it.

3. The ability to edit users based on more criteria, for example edit non approved users, and list more information, such a IP address etc.

4. Force more fields in registration, currently all they NEED to enter is their email address. Classic allows you to require details such as names etc, i would like to be able to force certain fields on registration.

5. I would like "admin fields" in a user account that only the admins can see, for example, details about membership dates, fees paid etc.. simple to do, and VERY useful.

6. Username of last person to post.

Ability to search for new posts since last login. This is already stored in the DB, so I think it would be easy? ie in addition to the past 24 hours.
