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 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="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 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Waiting for the next version....
