vBulletin Plugin Suggestions

[guyver01]

haven't had a chance to read up on the whole thread, but if there's a plugin that allows you to NOTIFY MODERATOR on a thread so they can be alerted there's a possible issue on a specific thread, rather than posting in a PFI type environment, that would be awesome.

Oh here's one: A mobile version of the forums. Browsing and posting on this site from my iPod touch is really painful.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned.

 

[nace186]

don't know if this have been suggested yet. Is it possible in the vBulletin to show the creation date of a thread?

 

[Newfie]

No to Reputation system
No to inline pics/graphics (please...for the love of god...)
No to 10 char limit (if possible)
No to attachments (for a cleaner look)

Yes to skinning the vb board to look like our current FT board.

[JJChicken]

ARE WE GOING TO UPGRADE TO VBULLETIN 4?????????? ITS REALLY GOOD!!!1111!!11!


Oops, sorry capslock

L&R should have a mode where people can post anonymously. It'll curb the 2nd accounts being created for people who just wanted advice, but wish to stay "anonymous" within AT, lol. There should also be a limit on how many times one can do this (like once or twice a year..etc)

Yep, not just PM's, but all posts and threads by said user.

x2.. Also, a reputation system.

Explanation on how this would work?

It would work like a good old fashioned Usenet kill file.

In the vB L&R forum, I'd like a feature that allows the OP to mark their posts as Anonymous in that specific thread.

As long as the Mods could still see the IP... :thumbsup:

I am not sure if there is a plugin for this, but we really need to make the code blocks in the Programming Forum work. Right now, everything is just straight-up text (no indentation, color coding, etc.).

There's one (vB plugin) I use which utilises GeSHi for code / syntax highlighting.

I haven't read the entire thread. Here are my suggestions:

- Have a "GetNewPost" link for every thread. So when you clicked that link it would take you to the first post after the last one you've read. This way you can always pick up in a thread where you left off.
- No rep system
- It would be nice if we could set our default search to 'Titles Only'

 

[cyberkost]

Yes to post ratings
Yes to thread ratings
Yes to inline images
Yes to attachments

I would definitely not update to vbulletin right now anand! VB was recently acquired by another company, and therefore we're yet to see how they do in terms of security and implimentation of the product. Tons of new code will be edited, changed, and modified. I would NOT update to vbulletin due to the fact there's a an extremely high probability that this forum would go offline for some odd reason.

lol fuestalk employee?

Being able to view profiles from PM.
I think this would be a great, if not obvious feature to have.
I often get PM's from people for FS/FT and it's a pain in the butt to have to find one of their posts so I can reach their profile.

 

[ChaiBabbaChai]

hide your profile from showing online
flagging of posts and PMs for moderator review
DO NOT have social groups
DO NOT have an ignore list - (but a mod could place a block on both parties if a problem arises)
DO NOT have user-rating system
thread rating is useless but OK - (everybody has different values and interests)
make the sub-title of username user editable - (it would be fun)
options to auto subscribe to any threads you post in, and to receive no notification if so desired
IRC chatroom implementation???
Heatware synchronization with vB???
search all posts my user
advanced search by username
DO NOT have images in sigs
PLEASE HAVE CUSTOM 100x100px avatars

 

[silverpig]

Here's an idea: how about dynamic signatures? I'm thinking that I could tie my sig into my twitter account so my latest tweet is posted as my sig.

 

[Sea Moose]

could i be a mod?

 

[cavemanmoron]

Whats the startup/switchover date for the Vbulletin Forum swap?

One of the forums I am active in uses Vbulletin.

Hi Everyone

We are moving away from FT and adopting vB for our forum. I don't have a hard deadline yet, as there is still a lot of work to be done. Just doing the import from FT takes about two days, so there will be some down time. We still have some technical issues to work out, and the best I can do on a general time frame is sometime between the end of this month and the end of the year. I'll be hugely surprised if we are able to move faster than that, and I'll be very disappointed if it takes longer ... so there that is.

We are accepting suggestions and feedback on vB plugins. If you have any thoughts or advice on what we should install, please make them here.

There are no guarantees that suggestions made here will be carried out, but we are definitely listening to your feedback and will use it to help us make the best decisions possible wrt forum features.

We do already have a few plugins in mind, with the most invasive right now being that we will put censorship control in the hands of the members. Unregistered viewers will see **** while registered members will see the censored word by default. Members can choose to enable censorship for themselves.

This is also your opportunity to make feature requests. Please let us know what you want.
