What Hacks Do People Want?

Hi All,

What sorta hacks are people wanting for this forum. You'll see me around here alot - and I just wanna get an idea. Thanks!

I would like to see Topic Tracking added to the board.. How it would work is a user can click a button on a post and then they would "subscribe" to that topic.. then they would be e-mailed when someone new replies to that post... Also you could have a link to "edit your subscriptions" so it would list all the forums you have subscribed to and let you delete ones you are no longer interested in...

Also on boards with smaller amounts of traffic they could enable you to subscribe to a entire forum and be e-mailed of any new post in that forum. For sites with more traffic users could click a link and see all the new stuff in their favorite forums...

You can already 'subscribe' to a topic (email notification)

I would like to see the private message hack for sure but also the notify the admin when a new user signs up.

As said before, Private Message will be a feature of the next big version

also the notify the admin when a new user signs up.

Already there!

Looks like I am taken care of then.

When you get do an upgrade are you going to have to rebuild all the threads as you have to with UBB?

Parker

The reason you have to update threads with UBB is because all the variables are hard coded in the individual topic files and have to be changed.

With the mySQL back-end, the stuff is pull in dynamically, so it doesn't have to be updated.

The reason you have to update pages in the UBB is actually because they are not dynamically created pages, they are .html that have to be rebuilt to show the changes, where a dynamically generated page gets rebuilt every time it is shown.

hehehe

No I was just trying to explain it a little differently is all
