I've just started using the Access version of WWF and have spent the last few weeks modifying and tweaking it to get it the way I want. All the new features in 7.5 sound great but I assume that will mean doing all my changes over again. Having looked over previous threads in regards to Access vs MS SQL, it sounds like this might be a good time to switch over to SQL, before I get a lot of registered users (only 50 so far) and messages. However, I know almost zero about SQL server so I'm not sure how easy it will be for me to do.

My question is; If I go to the trouble now of upsizing my Access database in use with 7.01 , will I be able to just plug in the new version 7.5 web pages and expect that they will work with the SQL database (after making configuration changes of course)? Or are there changes in the back end that will require DB changes from 7.01's? Since I don't know anything about SQL I want to make this as easy for myself as possible.

Thanks.

Dave

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?

This is one of my favorite mods... I hope it can be part of the new version as it makes it so much easier to quickly browse through read and unread posts...

Btw, green forum is a lot better than purple. Purple is to aggressive, green is much easier to read.

Btw, when will be WWF similiar like PHPBB board?

If any, I would consider the green version. The purple one is too cold, and yet again too purple, presumably a good choice for a womens lipstick forum...

I would consider a warmer color. I have changed from a cold to a warm color, and experienced more trafic (almost double up, just because of that, - yes lotsa people has even commented on the colors).
