<font size="" face="">Modified the banuser function so a user cannot login at all when they are banned. If they are currently logged in they will get a message that they are now banned on the next screen they visit.</font></li>
<font size="" face="">Modified showflat/showthreaded so the Board= portion isn't needed when linking to a post. This will keep bookmarks or links to posts that have been moved from breaking.</font></li>

Usually when Rick posts changelogs, he updates it constantly to keep us informed on what is new.

At this point, the biggest thing being worked on for 6.3 is the language files. Getting the admin section put into language files, making an online editor to edit the language files, etc. The first step in this took a lot longer than I had originally expected so not sure what all will make it into 6.3 at this point.

If I script a mod for the admin section so that it doesn't need a frame page will my mod survive past 6.3? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
Hey Rick what about implementing some good hacks from threadsdev as standard?
Should not be much work cause the code is already written so that you only have to take a look over it. I want to point you at this cause there are also some nice modifications for the adminsection so when you're already working on it there is no need to touch the code again.

Thanks for all the work you've done on the languages Rick! Adding support to edit the language files from the admin section will make editting them easier, and hopefully encourage more people to include language support in their mods! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />
Yes thanks but now personally I want to see more features for the users like nice addons or options that are quite normal in other bulletin board software. (e.g. sub-forums or password protection!)

With showing the last poster, could you please shrink the size of the text in the last post column for the rows not to be too wide?

Finally got the administration control panel to multilingual, this is gonna be a big work. :-)
And I'll help to translate it into Chinese as well as I've done with the front end user interface. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

1. Admin functions to be able to lookup/list/delete users that have not verfied their email.. having to SQL commands is a major pain. 2. A facility to allow the user to re-request their activation email.. if it gets lost, theyve had it.
Thanks

Can we improve the registration process please? I prefer that members provide a little more information than just an email address. in Classic I could force certain things, now I cant force anything at all..
Can we have an admin field for comments on that user, membership info only for admins to see in the admin menu too?
Folks, this is Rick's change log, to let you know what he has done, and ask about things you see on the list. Please keep requests in the feature requests forum.

Josh </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="" face="">Woot! Excellent for those of us who have our entire web site, including articles, in Threads! Now I'll be able to send shorter links for the articles to other sites, and links to my articles won't break if I move them! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />
