Quote For next generation of WWF, Borg must add null fields to DB. For example if next versions will need a additional fields, this is not problem for upgrade.


this would affect the size of the database for Access users, so i doubt think borg would add this

Quote Improve Flood settings, For example daily limit. This mustn't effect admins, moderators..


i dont think it DOES affect admins or mods - could be wrong though

Quote Admins can change users' username. Some users sometimes want this. I know, there is a mod for this.


in v7.9 (not sure how low it goes, but) this is already added, if you go to the Admin Area and look at Member Administration or wot ever its called theres "Change Usernames", i agree its a pain though to go there as you tend to have to c&p the username



my suggestion is to let the members of the site take over support borg, as you say its affecting developing time
am sure loads of people who are familer with WWF would help with support if it'd get the forum out quicker (but without you cuttin corners on code

also id like to see better control over polls, eg, close a poll without closing the thread, also being able to edit polls (if you created it) i believe the first poster can edit the thread title, so why not edit polls
i understand about the ammount of time people can vote, thats not a problem, id just like to see more control over the acctual poll, eg editing, as it seems kinda "bodged" to work

thats all i can think of - hopefully other members will have good ideas

Also this would not be helpful at all since adding emtpy fields to the DB would still require to set the datatype properly later. That would require the same effort like creating a new field.
 
Quote If we must modify DB for upgrade to v8, detailed introduction.
Instead of Borg wasting his time on tutorials like the one suggested this could be done by experienced users of WWF.
 
About suggestions like picture galleries, calenders and similar; I do not think that these should be included into WWF since WWF is a forum and not a portal. There exist already several portals that have WWF as a core, providing all those additional portal-features that have been requested here. And many more.
 
Just my two cents.
 
What I would find useful would be a more distinguished permission system, but Borg is already working on that. While doing so it might be useful to create at least one additional moderator level, the super-moderator like it exists now and one or two moderator ranks that have lesser rights. Like not having access to a members profile, not being able to delete topics but only to edit threads,...). Or even better, an optional page where the admin can set detailed permissions for each moderator group:
 
Can/can not delete
Can/can not alter member profiles (reset passwords, email address,...)
Can/can not move topics
Can/can not ban members
Can/can not change membership group
Can/can not start announcements
.......

ADMIN AND MODERATOR FUNCTIONS
 
Articles by Admin or Moderator published on a set Date and Time.
 
Quite often I have to write postings or make announcements on a particular day or time. It would be very useful if admins and moderators could make these postings in advance and set the date and time for when the article or announcement should appear live on the forum.
 
Signatures, website url, ICQ ect.
 
The Admin or Moderator should be able to enable/disable these functions for users.
It may also be a good idea to add SKYPE to the above list so that Users can show their SKYPE name.
 
Rich Text Editor
 
RTE editor should be able to be set so that only Admins and trusted moderators can use the editor if it is disabled for users.
 
Moderating Posts
 
On/off system by member for moderating posts. Trusted members can post without moderation but if they break rules they once again have to have their postings moderated before it appears live.
 
Registration of New Users
 
When a new user registers his IP number should also be added to the tblAuthor field in the database, so that Admins and Moderators can see which uses register multiple times. (I am aware that IP numbers change with dial up connections, but any other methods of being able to identify users with multiple accounts would be very useful).
 
Newest Users and members
 
The admin should be able to set when a users Name appears as a member of the forum (shows up on the member list and is shown as the newest member in the Forum statistics). This stops the Forum memberlist from being filled up with in some cases "bogus" members and will give a better account of how many active members there are in the forum.
 
Borg thanks for your hard work and giving us the chance to make some suggestions.
 
Regards

A photo Gallery and Calendar with the ability to turn it on or off for those that don't want to us it.   This has been on my wish list for a long time! Clap

Ability to moderate individual members not just an entire forum.  E.G. place a member on moderation status, so when that member makes a post, their posts will remain in a moderator que until they are approved for release to the forum.

Ability to ban a member so that when they are banned they are not able to read that forum, they would not even be able to access the main forum page.  Possibly have them redirected to another page or site when they are banned.

Ability to deleted/recall/edit sent PM's before they are read.

Ability to turn PM's on or off for individual accounts.

Automatic image resizer for uploaded images.  Currently we can only limit the actual file size.

When inserting an image into a post that's fine.
 
When uploading a pic, Admin has option to have it appear as an attachment or to actually insert the image into the post.
 
For example there would be a users post and then another row just above "profile, search, www, pm" buttons that is cleary defined and always labelled "Attachment 1:"... then the file / image name.
 
This will save the load time of each page as it wont be opening any posted images. Obviously for those that want to specifically put an image in their post then they can use the other feature. But maybe have this on for only certain members?
