- being able to search for posts according to IP (not just registration and last post IP)
This was in the UBB.Classic version of the message board and was dropped in Threads. This has been requested a few times to have placed back on the product.
- ability to lock a user's profile in the CP (I recall UBB.classic having this function) to prevent him from updating stuff like location, home page, etc. A little check-box should do it
Correct, UBB.Classic had this feature and was dropped in Threads.
- including a simple banner rotation system, I would definitely pay $$ for such an add-on
I wrote a mod for this in UBB.Classic many years ago. I have changed this to s stand alone software pulling the rotating banner Ads into the board under an iFrame with a login for the banner owner to see his / her banner stats for views and clicks with an automated tracking system as well as built in billing for payment.
- splitting us posts table so that new one is created every year (speed up database by splitting it up into smaller chunks on an annual basis, backups would also only need to be done of current db table)
Requested a few times in the past to relieve server stress in the database for very large forums. Has been mentioned that this may / will be an addition in the version 8 of Threads sometime in the release or future.
