Originally posted by chrispadfield at this rate you are getting very close to running out of possible features to add
There are always new features to be added.
Here are a couple that are on the top of my list:
Support for multi part messages, so only the text part is inserted into the post, and the html version is tossed.
Attachments, if from a newsgroup, then it'll make it a regular attachment in vB. If posted on the forums, a link at the end of the newgroup post is given for where people can download it.
Better text formatting int he newsgroup. (Possibly take the post, and parse the vB code into html and then use the html to text perl module). Good for stuff like lists.

I take it you mean the outgoing posts? This is something I haven't really spent much time on yet. But I agree, it's something that needs improving. I take the easy option at the moment and disable BB code & html for outgoing posts in the forum
As for incoming posts; there's not much else we can do with that. The posts that look bad in the forums look just as bad on usenet due to crap news clients or people posting using MS Outlook. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to handle the dual format messages correctly though. I'll get on it

Yup, I think it'd be cool if the posts that come out of the forum would have good formatting and are better than any other formatting of plain text documents.

Most the html posts that make it on my forums are from AOL users, now that AOL has AOL 6.0 out, they now send html formatted posts instead of plain text out to non-AOL users by default. Of course there is the occasional html post from other people as well.
Sorry. my fault. It's the same in mine but I didn't notice
You need to change
isreg
in newnews.pl to
regpost
There is only one reference to it on line 856.
It's referring to a column in the thread table. If it's set to 1, it means the thread has been posted in be a registered member. It gets updated in newthread.php and newreply.php. Those files seem to be OK though, so you only need to change the one occurence in newnews.pl.
