Mahuta ♥ Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Impose a minimum download limit post number of 10 or 15.-or-Impose a breast-for-tat policy where people get something, for contributing something.Just to stop the freeloaders. Great initiative Graeme, it's definitely more umm cozy and close-knit than TSR or IBScrewed which is great!Just let me point out the downside: people will start posting even though there is no need to post. Result: spam.uuh..what do you think we do? There is no spam because we make sure there is no spam..stating the obvious yeah, but I had to.

Feist Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm relatively new to the forum at this point and so far I am very impressed. The community here is amazing and supportive and everyone is happy to make a contribution.I'm not sure exactly how the positions are determined (VIP, Administrator etc.) It would be cool if there were a bar or something that told you how close you were or if you were under consideration to be promoted to a level or just a notification.

sweetnsimple786 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Could we have a mini dictionary? For example, I didn't know practicals were the same thing as labs/experiments until last week-ish. I wasn't exposed to much of the IB terminology because my teachers just didn't use it. I still don't know what Group 1, 2, 3, and 4 works are for Language A1--stuff like that. A quick reference guide thing. I wouldn't mind making a compilation and pdf'ing it, but I'm not a know-it-all. I'd need plenty of help. 4 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Not a bad idea. I'll add it to the list of future ideas . Thanks! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiara Angel Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I would probably make customizable skins just like they do in Hotmail and Myspace. That means you can select your own color schemes. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetnsimple786 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'm a little cautious saying this, but would it be a good idea to have a pop-up like screen with the EE rules show up when someone tries to start a new topic for the EE forum? Kinda like how you can get a notification on IBS if you've received a PM. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulcan Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Start an IRC channel if there isn't one already? (I've looked, just haven't found it with a search) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakebert Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I know that on phpbb3 boards (not sure if this is possible on IPB) when you go to reply to a post (NOT quick reply) they give you the history of the tpoic underneath the text box (i.e. every post before the one you're about to make in reverse chronological order). It stops people having to click "BACK" when they just want to check what one person said. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stops people having to click "BACK" when they just want to check what one person said.I've turned it on now. It uses extra resources but I can test it for a while and see if there is a performance issue or not . Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkSpider Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 If I was in control of IBS I'd rule with an iron fist and force all IBSgoers to submit to a cruel and harsh world of excessive work, little recognition or sleep, and often ridiculously difficult trials that span a broad range of sometimes unrelated subjects and disciplines. Well, that or I'd just remind everyone here that they're in IB =P Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Glau Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) lolI would put back the arcade, remove the maxinum limit of images in posts (thread specific possibly ), make up more creative names for outliers (i.e. nonexistent, 160 are not very good rating names), and possibly remove some features that i don't think are used to often, like manage ignored users in userbar, start a new topic in a thread, ect.oh yeah, and make a better title for the "important announcment" that appears on every single page please Edited March 21, 2010 by 2401 I Hate Tangents Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have time to come up with names, but feel free to come up with some titles and post them in About IBS! That would be great. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakebert Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 You know that navigation bar that goes IB Survival > General > General Discussion > Topic Name ? Hows about we have one of those at the bottom of the topic so that when you answer a post and want to go to a specific board, you don't have to scroll all the way up? Just a suggestion.

That's a good idea. I'll think about it for the next version (coming soon).Also, remember you can use the little up arrow on the left of each post to instantly scroll to the top.

Austin Glau Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I would get the awards system up and running and if it is too much of a pain i would let certian VIP members give out awards and make some awards based on the suggestion thread in the about IBS section.
