- In plugin now

It would be nice if, when reading a thread, there was a "Back to Forum" link that would take you back to the list of threads. As it stands now, when I'm done reading a thread, I either have to hit the Back button on my browser, then refresh the page to see if there are any new threads, or I have to scroll up and click on the link to whatever board I was reading.

How's that?

You can hit the "Next Newest Thread" link at the bottom left. If it takes you to a Pinned thread, then you know there is nothing newer than what you're reading.

"View New Posts" should be forum specific or allow you to choose selected forums. Same for "View Today's Posts".

Post counts should be cleared and re-imported from old software (phpbb) and added to the true post count using on the new software (MyBB).

When I reply to a specific post, why do I have to have a minimum number of characters?

Quick reply is fine, I'm referring to just a regular reply to a specific post.

You know how long that'd take? It'd also create dozens of problems which would need to be fixed just to get to the post importation step.

The script I've developed it working efficiently enough and easier than to re-import posts.

Will look into it

This can be removed/changed, but generally we don't want people posting replies such as one letter. What would you suggest the limit be?

+1

looks like it is two....... lol

We need 1 on the Memphis board for our
T

gameday shoutouts.....

That won't be an issue ill it? Making it bold, supersized, and blue will add more than enough characters.

How about eliminating the 10 pic per post limit.

How about being able to use "..." (quote marks) in thread titles?

No, that's why I asked. Could you just read the post count only from the old software with out having to re-import the entire post? Is there a way to just read the count in the user's account table? Hell, I dont' know...

Good stuff by the way. I really like the new software a lot.

We could recount the post count for each user but it's not really fixing the problem of the missing posts Check out the Memphis forum where I posted my script that's trying to do that.

I believe you can already do that? I noticed there was &quote; in the titles, which can easily be fixed at a later time

+1

Here are just a couple other things, which really aren't that big of a deal.

1. Be able to preview a "new post" without having a subject.

2. Be able to have more than 2 pictures in a signature.

3. Change the in box "reply" button to read "quote".

Add this guy, to the usual smilie list. I shouldn't have to "get more" to find him.

And on a related note, we need a winking smiley ;-) and a plain old vanilla smiley :-)

Oh, and still doesn't work....

I agree!

1. That's actually a standard feature. It does error checking as if you were going to submit the post but instead doesn't. It's a "preview" which gives you everything your going to get as if you were submitting the actual post - besides that, you're going to need to fill in a subject at some point anyway....

Adding in #3

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is to have a smiley called

Done.

Get the new site lined up with the old url....

i.e. http://www.ncaabbs.com

Google still indexes the old url and I think we are probably losing potential new users who aren't going to click on 3 links to get to the new board.

I know you guys were going to do this, but my suggestion is to move it up in priority...

was changed to 20 about 24-36 hours ago.

the address http://www.ncaabbs.com will still take me to the old frontpage

i would suggest that be fixed

As stated before, they'll get to it in due time

How about my countdown clock back with an easier way to reset the clock and text......

Your countdown clock? Can you show me?

A countdown to kickoff clock. GTS has the info. I don't have a copy of it, it's obviously lost during the swap over.

Can we get the :kobe: emoticon back? You know, the one where they are making sweet love?

I'm working on a countdown clock. Gimme the weekend, or Monday at the latest.

I'll need help on how integrate with the templates and allowing access to the mods to change the dates and event titles.

Thanks........

Feel free to PM me with any coding questions

Mask someone else to be able to mask people into Groups. I know its just cybernations, and has little to do with the overall forums, but its starting to really annoy some loyal - long time posters.

I'm not sure I understand. Mask someone else to be able to mask people into Groups?

Will we get our medals back. Several of us put in long hours working on our individual awards and I for one will be pretty pissed off if all that time and effort is wasted.

1. Medals need to return, along with the ability for admins to add medals and images of medals as they see fit.
2.Countdown Clock needs to return
3. :kobe: emoticon needs to return
4. Ability to mass move threads from one forum to another needs to return.
5. The Rice Board needs it's team skin. In addition when you go through the portal at the top "conferences" to access the Rice board it logs you out. When you try to log in again it automatically logs you out.



Oh and I think he meant "make" not mask.

1. I believe the skunkworks team finished the medals plugin, it just needs to be activated here.
4. You can...
5. Does the link in the "portal at the top 'conference'" redirect to the specified fid, or does it use an iframe?

in the "custom user title" section of your profile....

can you limit the number of characters for that entry? right now it stands at 40, and when someone uses all 40 characters, it makes the left column (poster, avatar, status, etc.) wider and decreases the width of the right column for actual messages.

there is also a sliver of possibility that it could just be me (insert joke here).

When we were on phpbb, a user had the ability to give other users permission to view protected forums like the CyberNations "Alliance Headquarters". He's asking that be done here.

"a user"?

uh oh

Well, Tikitiki only knows you as the guy who complains that we all ignore. I figured 'a user' would be friendlier.

It wasn't just a user, it was a moderator.

I vote that lethemeul gets the button!
