UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums General Suggestions and Feedback Subscription Feature

The subscription systems relies heavily upon permission groups.

Available ENTIRE SITE and PER-FORUM permissions by GROUP are displayed below:
In addition, there are CONTROL PANEL permissions available. But those permissions should be reserved for Administrators and Global Moderators

This is a MEMBERSHIP Profiles setting:
Control Panel > Profile Settings

The avatar Image max size settings are adjusted here. This is the container size that their uploaded avatars will be placed in to. Remember, these are user avatars. They are not life-sized art/photographs. They are used to represent the user's image next to their post. A watermark just doesnt make sense to have here, as it wont be readable or would cover their image. The solution, use the watermark *AS* the avatar image. /r/2healthbars

Also see: User Menu > Edit Profile: Signature. This is the fancy name, title, graphic, logo (...etc) of a person appearing below a their public and private posts, and in their user profiles. This is the correct place for the user's "mark." Some people still write "-Sparky" or "Sincerely, Sparky" under every post they make. Those people don't really understand discussion forums or forum signatures.


This is a SITE Permission setting per-user group:
Control Panel / Site:
• Can see the shoutbox
• Can use the shoutbox


Control Panel > Groups
Click on the IMAGE or the [none] link.
Upload the badge/image/icon...etc you want the member of that group to be able to display.
Users can be in more than 1 group at a time.

Users can enable or disable which Group Icons they want to display:
User Menu > Edit Profile.
Group Images To Display: Select the desired check boxes and hit "Save Changes" button.


This is a MASTER SETTINGS: Features setting:
Control Panel > Features
• Enable Topic Ratings
• Enable Member Ratings


For obvious reasons, users must be moderators to lock or delete threads. You can also give an entire group permission to delete their own posts within a time limit.

This is is in the FORUM Permission setting per-user group:
Control Panel / Forum:
• Delete post time limit

If you have a user who wants to post something but doesnt want anyone to reply:
Again, this is a FORUM Permission setting.
1) create a forum with the following settings for the groups with access:
• Can create new threads: 1 = Enable (Allow)
• Can reply to existing threads: 0 = Disable


For obvious reasons, user name style colors can only be set by an admin. This is done to help prevent users from impersonating an admin or moderator by choosing a color which are normally reserved for admins and moderators.

Post style colors are set by the user's themselves if they are in a permission group that allows it.
This is is in the FORUM Permission setting per-user group:
• Can post using Markup/UBBCode


I dont believe there is any any way to disable users from hotlinking to whatever smilies/images they want to use in their posts, unless you just disable their access to Markup/BBCode. The next item is also related to this request ---


If you wanted to add/remove images that all users who can post/reply have access to, that is at:
Control Panel > Images & Icons
From this page, you can add more:
• Post Icons
• Graemlins
• Avatars
• Forum Images
• News Images
• Mood Icons
