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. ![[Wink]](images/icons/wink.gif) 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. ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif) Josh Measurection.com Admin | ThreadsDev.com Moderator Register to see my How To/Site Help Library Forum at ThreadsDev.com.

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. ![[Cool]](images/icons/cool.gif) 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?

- Hybrid display: Shows the thread threaded display on top, and flat on the bottom Somewhat like this, but in a cleaner UBB.threads style
- Show birthdays at the bottom of the main index
- Calendar
- Instant messaging buttons on the bottom of the posts through AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo (Part of the post extras buttons)
- Move the registration date, number of posts, and location display to the bottom of posts (like in Infopop's other products)
- On the forums, show who was the last person to reply right under the date and time of the last reply (like in OpenTopic and UBB.x)
- Hot Topics (More than X number of replys, indicated by a red flame right next to the post icon)

Hi, following features woul den nice: two versions of ubbthreads: one with and one without target _top so that it is possible to decide which one I want to use (Problems with displaying a forum in a hp with frames) more info in the statistic-footer: who is online with names (like classic) and the maximum of online users of the day group-management: we created a new group. If we want to change several users to an new usergroup it isn´t possible at the moment to shift for example "praktikant" (first step when you register in our forum) to user. (I tried this with the group-management function) If you try this the browser (Netscape and IE) collapses and you have to shutdown the browser. colour-management like ubbclassic That are my suggestions for now. Best regards, Michael www.boxster-group.de powered by ubbthreads

Thanks Rick. Yes, it's understandable that the "who's online" feature will bump up the required system resources, though I think this feature is adequate when it just tells you who's online in general (without breaking this down into specific forums). I think that overall this feature looks really good on some sites I know, especially when there is a little note next to it that states what the all-time record is for concurrent users online. As for the constantly repeating subject-line, it's good to know that this can be dealt with by modifying templates (personally I find it distracting because it's so repetitive most of the time). ***Rick, maybe if you include the option to 'reply to nobody in particular' then you could include something that also removes the subject-line from subsequent posts? These two issues seem to go hand-in-hand. Now imagine seeing " UBB.threads 6.3 suggestion thread" at the top of each post in this thread... Arrhhh! --------- Go Cougs!

Do you think those may be added in the future if you are able to find the right way to implement them? Yes, I know not all of them may get into version 6.3 (perhaps 6.4, 6.5, and going on...) but we can hope that they come in the future without reducing speed. Rick, which of my feature suggestions do you think would take the shortest time to develop properly? And Rick, I ACTUALLY like how you delay some features to keep UBB.threads fast and reliable. I hate how the competition (I can't say thier names) quickly implements features and makes their boards slower. Pretty-pink jazz > Boring-brown country music

I would love if Ubbthreads got the following: - An optional overview blok (perhaps above categories) that showed ALL the new headlines of topics/replies for the user logging on. The user should be able to enable/disable this from her my home settings. - A wysiwyg editor a la www.richtextbox.com that also allows for upload and insertion of images in the edit phase. - A webservice interface. This would allow for consistent integration efforts that could be robust across version upgrades. The first interface function should be stuff like login/logout, new posts, pm's avalible yes/no, etc. Think about this rick. It would help you to keep other developers at an arms length, enforcing an integration standard. - The hybrid display idea (as in vb3) suggested above is also an idea that rocks! Regards, Tim

Re: UBB.threads 6.3 suggestion thread

What I'd like to see is a better way to control who is allowed in and who is not. I have had problems in the past with users causing problems. No problem banning them but they come right back with a new handle about 99% of the time. So, I try banning by IP and the only thing that accomplishes is keeping them from posting. They can still read messages and they can still read privates. If someone is banned they should not have any access at all to the boards. Also, it'd be nice to be able to view ip addresses of all users in the userlist if you are an admin. Or to be able to do a search for an ip or a block of ip's and see all users registered with whatever ip or block yoiu might specify. Currently if someone comes in I have had to chage the users password and change their e-mail so they are unable to retrieve a new password. This is a major pain to have to do this. Simply put.... If someone is banned then they should be fully banned or at least let's have a choice of what they are to be banned from. The birthday from JoshPet is great and my people have loved that one. That would be great to be included as well as his contact form. We might go as far as being able to choose who to contact with the form if there are multiple admins. One more thing I'd like to see is a way to limit the access of forum moderators. In the past I had a moderator delete her entire forum of posts because she was mad about something. I caught all kinds of flack about this. I would also like them not to be able to change the forum descriptions and they shouldn't have the ability to ban a user. Ok.... I think that's enough for 1 post..... Been a while so I thought I'd make it big.... ![[Razz]](images/icons/tongue.gif)

I would like to see what is already a modification availabel to UBBs at UBBDev. It allows you to see ID changes. If someone logs in at their PC, changes their ID and logs in it logs who they were, who they changed to along with a time and date stamp. ----------- Hostboard.comDoing what NO other UBB in the world is doing.

UBBThreads currently emails you when a user has responded to your message. The ability to *reply* to this email posting, and have it inserted into the appropriate forum&thread would be great.
The administrator would define a pop3 mailbox, and UBBThreads would have a cron process that would check this mailbox say once a minute. When a new message is found, UBBThreads reads the forum and message that the email is in response to by looking at the subject (its encoded).
If you've ever watched the traffic with sites such as EGroups or YahooGroups, the activity is amazing.
When people aren't forced to leave their email, they are more likely to contribute.

Hehe yeah, I was looking for a mod/hack that would allow you to reply or send a fresh email and have it posted to a forum

Thanks for all of the suggestions thus far. Keep them coming. Starting to see some new faces in here which is great I'll offer this so people don't get too discouraged if a suggestion doesn't make it in right away. I keep a list of every feature that has been suggested. Over the history of .threads development we add features a bit at a time. Obviously we could go all out and add a ton of things at once but this can lead to a long beta period, things that don't play nicely under heavy loads, etc. So, we add a few at a time and see how that works out, and what needs to be changed before adding some more. The good news is the past several versions have really concentrated on database changes and code cleanup. Probably 75% to this area and 25% to new features. Now that we've done that we can concentrate more on new features. Just wanted everyone to know that this forum is watched and we do keep track of what everyone is asking for but it might not get in right away. But keep the suggestions coming. ------------------- Rick Baker UBBThreads developer

P.S. I forgot to say that solution is really easy ! Just change the darktable in something like "bulbtable" in ubbthreads.tmpl like shown: <pre> <!-- echo <<<UBBTPRINT --> <tr> <td valign="top"> <img src="{$config['images']}/{$forum[$c][$f]['boardfolder']}" alt="" /> </td> </pre> and add .bulbtable in the CSS file. Isn't it ? I did it in 1 minute and works perfectly

7. Ability to disable Threaded mode completely. I know some use this but to me it is troublesome, I would really like a UBB Classic w/mysql but hey.
Wordlets were useful in Classic because otherwise you had to dig through dozens of files and alter the code itself. But in Threads you have all the texts in a separate file for each language, so the only change wordlets would bring is that they would allow you to type in the new phrases in the CP as opposed to a text file.
As for disabling threaded mode as an admin option, I'm all for it. It would be great if the admin could choose which way he wants his site to operate - with or without threaded mode.

Management Functions*> Add an option to make someone a moderator of all forums at once. *> When searching users have some way of adding them to your address book or sending them a PM. Basically some interaction between the viewing users function in the admin and in the acutal board. *> Allow for looking up the IP a user registered from as well as the current looking up a user that registered from a certain IP. *> A "user tracking feature" - So it could be enabled on a per user or even per group basis and all activity (from all the ip's) that user performs are recorded in a per user log. (We get some trouble makers ) *> The Admin notification e-mails for new users should include the new user name. *> The Admin notification for screen name changed should include the old and proposed changes so it can be used for tracking. *> Add a User Group Delete function. Which should have the option to delete all users in that group or not. *> The delete inactive users option should give you the number of users its going to delete and the option to see the list BEFORE it does it. Thats all i can think of for now. Cheers, Bison - "Feel the joy!"

Yes, there is a browser detector here.
BTW, what about the Opera users? There are quite a lot of Opera users, which doesn't support this. The Opera users here are viewing the old interface. Without the browser detect, they could have problems using OT.
IMO it may be possible that Infopop will implement a browser detector in Threads, but that will likely be in the future.

I'd like to add to this, the ability to forward a PM to another user, and also the ability to report it (which would include the date & time the PM was sent as well as details of who sent it & the content) to a moderator/admin.

Re: UBB.threads 6.3 suggestion thread

Wow this is a long thread and hopefully I don't post an idea twice now. My suggestions for 6.3: 1) If you create a category it would be nice if you can also add a image. I created a forum named 'german stuff' for example and entered the name this way: <img.....germanflag> German stuff. In the forum overview this is displayed correct but within the database its causes a mess cause the category title is not handled as text only, its needed also to add forums under the category and this results in a PARSER error. 2) delete user groups from the admin panel 3) make forums visible to all but password protected for entering. 3) mass move of postings for an admin. move X posts (markable) to another forum. 4) where should new registered users start? myhome or forum overview? make this setable sitewide for a new user. 5) whosonline for forum and categories 6) changeable design of the emails 7) if you click on optimize database the forum should be closed automatically so that you don't need to do it manually before. afterwards it should be open again. 8) make a forum closed, forum open function in den main admin panel like in the old ubb classic. its nerving with this combo box ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif) 9) write a description which stylesheet variable changes what. At the moment its like try and error ;-) 10) mass change of stylesheet. I created a new stylesheet which ALL users should take or which only a group of users should use. It would be nice If I can set this using the admin panel. 11) If you've created more than one design for subcategories its really making me angry that the stylesheet is then always the same. Example. board 1-20 default design, take stylesheet from myhome board 21 special design, take special stylesheet. At the moment this is not correct and a wrong stylesheet can mess up the whole design. 12) Custom rights for admins. Full Admin = all choices. Limited Admin = create forum but not allowed to delete one for example. 13) Wooow, one more came up my mind. I've seen the pool feature and this is a really stupid one. In the classic version it is only possible for every member to vote once. This makes sense. Within threads everytime a user gets a new ip he/she can vote again. This makes every poll senseless cause then I can manipulate very poll connecting and disconnecting. I don't know how this is in the states but in germany you normally get a new ip address everytime you connect to you isp. Wow, thats what came up in my mind last 10 minutes and I am sure that I can finde more but for the moment I think that these suggestions will take up to version 11.3 to implement Waiting for the next version.... ------------------------------ alias [UCE]iCEMAN Leader of the United Clan Empire http://www.clanforums.com------------------------------ [This message was edited by [UCE]iCEMAN on January 27, 2003 at 01:02 AM.]

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?

How does this sound?

I don't think that you should start a discussion here whats best and which forum has which feature the others don't have.
Its all about the question what do you need it for.
I think I am the only german guy that uses threads for a hobby page and I am sure that also phpbb for example would fit my needs but I decided for myself to buy a pro product. At the moment for sure threads has less features and I am also missing many that are quite standard already within other boards but If I see this forum here then I am sure that they will find the way into threads with the difference that then they are well implemented and stable
Keep on Rick and Josh you're making a good work.

Hehe its seems that page 6 within this posting is mine Another idea: I switched from ubbclassic to threads and I missed a function in the import script to automatically import the gremlins. Everyone knows that much postings get another meaning without an ending or other gremlin at the end. It was a hard and stupid work to get the into my new threads board and it would be nice if they were also added automatically. Nothing important for me anymore but maybe it will help others trying to migrate from one to the other... ------------------------------ alias [UCE]iCEMAN Leader of the United Clan Empire http://www.clanforums.com------------------------------

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. quote:

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. ------------------------------ alias [UCE]iCEMAN Leader of the United Clan Empire http://www.clanforums.com------------------------------

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? ------------------------------ alias [UCE]iCEMAN Leader of the United Clan Empire http://www.clanforums.com------------------------------

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? ------------------------------ alias [UCE]iCEMAN Leader of the United Clan Empire http://www.clanforums.com------------------------------

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.
