Nice! But. https://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/faq.html shows a blank page! And the "Go to page" feature (nice feature besides) doesn't seem to work.

The "go to page" doesn't seem to work in the User List either.

Oops no bug reports here. Will post them there instead.

Lots has changed with this version. I am really liking it. Lots to test and to break.

Great job . Let's see if it brakes somewhere over the rainbow .

You're going to make a lot of people very happy Rick - (sob - pass me a hankie!)

Won-der-ful. I'm over the moon with this upcoming release. It's going to "change my life".

1.) When we upgrade will our original forum settings be retained or will we have to go through each one individually to incorporate all of the settings above?

2.) What are the Forum Specific Permissions defaults?

Not sure on upgraded, but my fresh install of .3b2 had the default permissions set to blank. In other words, there wasn't a default and once I viewed them, I needed to set them.

On a new install there is a Default Forum Template that has some default permissions. You can edit that and any new forums created will follow those permissions.

For the most part it will try and keep permissions as close as possible on upgrades. It sets all of the view/read/reply, edit and delete time limits, file attachment limits, etc.

If folks haven't discovered it yet, one of my favourite features is the ability to have My Stuff in its own section rather than a drop down.

I for one will be making this the default for all users, as I think it makes life a lot easier

Like what i see very much.
Just looking around as a user first

As always well done < Pat on Back >

I just found this.

That's a great tweak. I like it very much, and leaves alot of
scope for other things too.

I now have it activated.

Move with PM gets my Thumbs up

When you move a persons topic they get a pm

Very useful feature, and one that will aid keeping a tidier forum

Looks like the 30 day posters didn't make it in this time again

But Gizmo's Video did

The 30 day posters also needs re-writing - I had a go last week, but could not quite get it to work with 7.3

I see the emotions button (Full Reply) has moved along the selection bar

Listing bot names in Who's Online is optional, right? I'd rather just have it say something like Gizmo, Ian, Mark S, 23 anonymous users, 7 bots online rather than Google , MSN (5), Twiceler , Voyager , Yahoo (94) , etc (and what's with those spaces between comas?)

This new 7.3 beta is a breath of fresh air.
I just seen the new e-mail format its neat

And the new e-mail options "Edit Watch List"
Looks neat too.

Liking the tweaks.

If anything getting to that edit your watched list e-mail
options is still to hidden away.

If you use the "My Stuff" Right bar that would be a great
place to say add "Edit E-mail options"
and then list them

Edit e-mails
Watched Members
Watched Topics
Watched Forums

That IMO would be so much easier for new members to get there
head around and then use that option rarther than not
even knowing it exists.

Members like 1 click options

I've been complaining about the spaces for several alpha/beta builds now; Rick's trying to fix it though now ...

As for the bots, some will want names, some will just want to know how many bots in general (not sure what fold I'm in here) but I'm not entirely sure how the island is setup off hand and I'm not at my laptop to dib through code at the moment.

IMHO, we have too many options to provide one click options for everything

If you need to see the actual bot names, they'd be 1 click away. I see no need to clutter the island with them - site visitors don't care about them, and neither do I. But as alway, the option should be there.

yes, but the current implementation tallies how many bots so you don't have to by hand

Seconded!

I'm wondering if you could use the same code that generates the emails as a forums/threads archiver? Archiving to plain html is something that I've craved for a long time!

Rick promised archiving in a future release ... someday :/

Which is what I want -- a tally! ...NOT all the details on my home page

Well, the WOL page does not tally ...

Ive just had a good look at the Mark up panel


WOW - Didn't see them extra options coming under IMAG and CODE

Is going to be a great help on my forums,
as i use sub forums and members get lost at times lol

Grrrrrrrrrrrreat Add on to 7.3

I really like most of the changes from what I can see. Nice job.

The one I really don't like is having those bot names and things in the Who's Online. Please let us be able to turn that off!

Thank you!

Yes - like most things, editing the template will remove or add items particular to a site.

island_whos_online.tpl in this case.

I'm patched up

as rick says easy peesy lemon squeezey

I agree, easy patch. Thanks Rick!

My current 7.2.X install is nicely integrated with PhP PhotoPost and PhP Classifieds. Just wondering if anyone of you Bete testers has tried 7.3 with these products and whether there might be any problems? I'm guessing not, but thought I'd ask.

I would, but I don't have a license for either lol...

I could test it using photo post if I was a beta tester

I could test it - but no longer user photopost

I plan to test it when b3 is released
