User's Notepad
 

User's Notepad - v0.9

It's like the AdminCP notes, only every user has one in their UserCP.
It wasn't inspired by the vB2 version (which I was unaware of until AzhriaLilu pointed it out), I simply missed having it after moving from Invision to vBulletin :)

I have tested this on my own (live + test) boards (3.0.5 and 3.0.6), and am releasing this only as beta to get feedback. Pending any bugs this will be released in the same form as v1.00 about a month from now.

When staff use usernotes to comment on members, for instance to log notes for other staff members about spammers, it's not always an option to give the users access to their own usernotes.

Seeing as you wouldn't want to start a thread for each annoying member in your admin forums, usernotes are simply that: an admin tool.

When you still want to give users a way to keep track of half-finished posts, urls, etc. -> this hack comes into play.

kewlness *clicks install*

Yoyo, install it and let me know.

let you know what? LOL it works <grin>

***clicks install***

took me 2 minutes to install and it works like a charm!

Yea Yoyo, works.
Wonder how hard it would be to add save areas, ie, a list of note saves to this.

**clicks install**

you mean like multiple notes?

I *think* what he is talking about is making it possible to have multiple notes, or to have "shared" notes, or to have the admin view them (?). I would like to see this taken one step further, and developed a bit more. I would like to restrict user notes to certain usergroups for one thing, and I would also like to put a size restriction on the amount a person can save. I would hate to see someone (or a bunch of someones) fill up my database with a bunch of junk, but I don't mind extending it to certain usergroups. Also, another addition would be the ability to enter a user name or user number in to a box and then allow them to "see" your message pad if they want to, sort of a whiteboard, (or maybe even a different shared mod notes section) but that may be another hack or hacks :)
