Hi Borg!
I got a few questions/suggestions for you regarding the upcoming release.
Nr. 1: I'm really missing a "User menu" in this application. Here's some of the features it could have:
Edit account information - Use this option to change your name and email address.
Change your password - Use this option to change your password
Edit your profile - Use this option to make changes to your profile
Edit your preference - Use this option to set your forum preference
Forum Subscription - Use this option to manage subscription to forums
Topic Subscription - Use this option to manage subscription to topics
Bookmarks - Manage your bookmark links (Important topics which is added to a bookmark site, nice for followups)
Inbox - Read and send private messages
Buddy list - List of your buddies
Nr. 2: Security. Possibility to choose expiration date on login cookie set by forum.
We should be able to do this within the admin menu.
Nr. 3: I tested the 7.5 version. Nice front layout on it now, but there's one annoying thing though.
When you select the "Test forum cat 2", then "Test forum cat 1" automatically hides.
That is annoying. Would be fine if there were a +/- sign for showing/hiding categories.
Nr. 4: A feature to set up a coustom forum policy through the admin menu is something we need.
It's so boring to do this job manually.
Nr. 5: Installation setup. The first time the forum is setup on your
ftp/localhost, you are being taken through a "Installation guide",
which
checks that your forum paths and permissions are correct. You also have
to agree to the license agreement and create a admin user
before you can start using the forum software.
Nr. 6: Pre-registering of usernames. This will prevent users from
being able to register under known names as admin, administrator,
moderator etc.
Nr. 7: Retrieve lost password function. Nice to have is users forget
their password (altough I believe that this allready exists!?).
Nr. 8: Sort topics by: Message ID | Topic | Author | Last updated date | Replies | Views
Nr. 9: In the statistic section, it would be cool if the forum also
could tell you which time and date there were most users active in the
forums.
If some of the features allready exists so forgive me. I haven't been using this forum for more than half a month or something.
Some
of this suggestions are huge so I don't expect them in the next
release, but they would certainly be a nice addition to the WWF!
Regards
Chris
And last, but not least: Would you mind cleaning up a bit in the sections that I have pasted right under here?
It's a bit "messy". Like.. I personally hate the "you can/can not"
information that is provided in each forum. I would like to have an
option where I could show/hide that info.
All this could be some more linear if you know what I mean?
