I just want to see what everyone wants in version 6.3 of UBB.threads

• The ability to customize the Instant color UBBcode buttons (such as adding and removing colors)
• Replace the UBB.threads poll UBBcode with a UBB.classic style poll feature
• Signature preview
• Show the users browsing the whole board at the bottom of the main index, and show the users browsing a forum at the bottom of the forum you are in
• From the previous suggestion, bold the moderators and bold+italicize the administrators
• Font UBBcode (in the format of [font:fontname]Insert Text here[/font])
• Instant Font UBBcode button (where a window pops up, and you type in the name of the font)
• Underline and strikethrough UBBcodes (including instant UBBcode buttons for them)
• The ability to reply to a thread to nobody in particular (Read more here)
• Selectable avatars (for the admins who do not want remotely loaded avatars only)
• Replace the MM/DD/YY date format into the format of UBB.classic, UBB.x, and OpenTopic

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

Here's a few of mine for now:

• I think the ability to Organize Graemlins... (order them) would be nice.
• Also, for boards that have added alot... it would be nice to have a variable where the posting page only displays X number of Graemlins...then there would be a link to "view more graemlins". Which opens in a little JavaScript window. Clicking them in the little window still inserts them back into your post.
  
  I've seen this at www.moviejustice.com which uses a free BB called Invision.
• The config option (or an option when posting) to include attached images at the bottom of the post.
• The ability to require other fields (including custom ones) during registration.
• Shameless plug.. but I think alot of users would like my birthday mod added in as a standard feature.

I'm sure I'll think of more as we go.

I think your suggestions are great! Do yo like mine?

BTW, I also want in the profiles in fields that are not entered to not publicly show up at all rather than show up as blank fields

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

Yes, all great suggestions.

Suggestions are good. We don't see them all with the very next version. But eventually most of them materialize.

That's the nice thing about Rick and Infopop.. they do listen. David Dreezer keeps up with the whole product line very well too.

I especially like your selection about the ability to let people choose from "stock" avatars.

It seems alot of forum software has that... and it does seem to be much requested.

I just visited your beta forums, and I noticed one problem in the new memberlist.

It is missing a selection to view usernames that don't start with a letter or a number

Examples of these kind of usernames:

• @Pink+
• $$$$$

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

Good catch.
Will point out to Rick.
Thanks!

and include what ever special characters you wish.

I personally don't allow any special characters anywhere in my own forums so would rather not have to edit them out if they were in by default.

Oh... Kewl!

It's in the language file.

Dave, I thought this was your hack from way back. But now I see... it gets the array of search terms from the language file.
Neat, and flexible.

Now what you told me on the other board makes sense.
So you could change this:
$ubbt_lang['USER_SORT'] = "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z";


and add in:

@,$,#,&,* etc.. ???
The only one that might "blow up" is % right?

Ya learn something new every day.

Um, how about the "who's online" feature? Isn't that still a hack?
