my requests arn't for new features but things that should be added/deleted.<br />I believe that cleanup of the html should be first. there are alot of empty or non existant </td></td></table> code that should be cleaned up.<br />registration page needs to be upgraded so people can add certain info. homepage bleh blah bleh.<br />i think the are you over the age of 13 should be upgraded so that the user puts in his birthday and checks to see if he/she is over the age of 13 automatically?<br />the ability to edit the logged in and not logged in menu above.<br />the ability to edit the Welcom pm screen, Welcome email, a new user has replied to your post, Everything that gets sent out.<br />site integration and that stuff should be included as an addon by soneome else, i don't think that you should be working on that. it is not for everyone.<br />user customizable markup tage for posting code/html/pl/php<br />search by username search by certain fields search posts by username search for users that match p search users who have a www in there homepage field<br />SPELLCHECK FOR PHP<br />instead of form buttons how about a nice drop down menu for admins and mods to do admin mod things<br />the ability to have a mod do so and so duties. allowed to delete users, but not allowed to delete a thread. user customizable features per moderator.

Not sure if this has been covered or not, but I just started offering a pay membership, I would love to see a easy way to add people to this group, kind of like the admin or moderators with small icon and a way to automaticly send them an email when their membership is about to expire. Right now I am going to manually change their title and user name color which is going to be a pain. Hell, you could even offer some kind of membership add-on package for an extra fee, I know I would pay for it, more and more sites are going to some kind of membership to help pay for the site/bandwidth so it could generate a little more coin for you, of course free is always good too.

I know this one is probably not something a lot of people need but if you have the time it would be nice:<br /><br />At registration, the ability to assign the registrating person automatic membership of a group using a list if IP-ranges. Of course, using wildcards (*) would be the normal choice but I would rather have the file with the ranges using the format:<br /><br />213.237.152-4 NormalMember<br /><br />or<br /><br />213.237.152.0-255 AnotherNormalMember<br /><br />As written above there isn't that many sites needing this kind of feature but I could use it... []/testimages/icons/smile.gif[/] Anyway, I'm probably going to implement it myself but it would be a lot easier to upgrade to new versions if this were included.<br /><br />kdp

My another ideas comes as the followings:<br /><br />* Like the Post icon, let users select what the type of post belongs to. Such as 'Question', 'Answer', 'Request'...etc. and these types could be defined by moderators on a board based basis. (Of course the administrators defines the priviliege to grant to the moderator or not)<br /><br />Thus, we can easy find the types of posts we want. It can be used to narrow down the search engine loading.<br /><br />* Add a user behaviors based credits system. To accumulate the user's behaviors and usages of the forum into a special credit system on a site basis. So each of you can define how many credits to grant on what behaviors the user had done. (The current user management is so simple as it has only counted the number of posts the user had posted.)<br /><br />* Add a 'List posts replied to me' to show all posts replied to the thread you have joined. This is like the Email all replies to my real email address features but only activated when users request to list on their login time.

Ok, Old dead horse but somebody has to beat it.<br /><br />Intergrate the spellchecker routines, and or put together a spellchecker standalone that corrects spelling.<br /><br />

I would love if you would add an option for the Admin to create Markup tags.<br /><br />For example. (NOTE THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE COULD BE OTHER MARKUP ITEMS)<br /><br />The admin can add a markup of [WINMEDIA]. W3threads would send the marked text to an html include file winmedia.markup<br /><br />[WINMEDIA]http://forums.torbeckfamily.com/mashthemeMovie.mp3[WINMEDIA]<br /><br /><object classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" id="MediaPlayer1" width="200" height="225"><br /><param name="AudioStream" value="-1"><br /><param name="AutoSize" value="-1"><br /><param name="AutoStart" value="0"><br /><param name="Filename" value=[MARKUPDATA]><br />.<br />. LINES REMOVE TO SAVE SPACE<br />.<br /></object><br />

ktorbeck, look at my newest hacks []/testimages/icons/smile.gif[/]<br /><br />http://www.wwwthreads.com/perl/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=custom&Number=39970&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=

Don't I wish! CIHost has been going through hell since the 1st - being bombarded by the Code Red worm trying to get in. Of course it can't because they use Unix machines but it is still effectively slowing everything to a trickle because it means all their ports are 'occupied' when legitimate rquests are made to them.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing that code when things are getting through again.<br />

And here's a demostration of a great community style:<br /><br />www.104cafe.com.tw<br /><br />They have a feature to allow users to apply to took a part in each board which is like a private club. That should be a better direction for w3t development which is what a community are for.<br /><br />BTW, it's a Chinese BIG5 site.

I thought I need a feature like this:<br /><br />* I can edit and define the required field on user profile. So that the required fields should be filled out by the user and would indicated with a * sign.<br /><br />* I can define which field should be filled out even if it is not a required field. If the user did not fill out these field, w3t would informed the user by a POPUP private message when these fields were unfinished.<br /><br />

Thanks, but this is really not what I am looking for. <br /><br />Maybe, I should explain what I need do. <br /><br />Many of our users will be using adaptive equipment. Screen Readers, Braile Readers, etc. I would like to be able to add markup commands for the special functions of adaptive equipment.<br /><br />I came up with the idea of using an .markup include file because this would make it more easy to upgrade.<br /><br />

I think a markup.pm should do the trick. Then we could pull all the domarkup/undomarkup stuff out of w3t.pm, put it in markup.pm and add to it easily.

I like the markup.pm idea... maybe overall it would be better to use more .pm files to make upgrading easier!?

This is something that I've been wanting to do for some time, since alot of people add custom markup it would make upgrading much easier.

Just remembered another hack I did that others might like if it was in the main distro... how about user select time format (choose in the preferences)? Check out my boards with username test and password test, and go to Edit Preferences > Display Preferences.

That's clever but it would play havoc with my board layout!

Well... I'm sure it could be made to fit the layout, I mean remove the extra long date/time versions from the options. However, users from various countries would appreciate a date format they can adjust to what they are used to.

I use "04-Aug-01 20:45" which means everybody can understand it, no matter which format they are used to or which side of the date-line they're on..

Please do it would REALLY HELP!!!
