..and a quick reply mod would kick ass, though i cant seem to find one.

[Mr. Analog]

Is there a new RSS address?

...and a mod to instantly redirect back to the thread you posted on instead of the "forum or message" choice screen would be kick ass too.

I helped Melbosa search for fourm software when he had trouble getting IpB going again.



phpBB was probably the best board that supported all the features that RW usesd and had active/healthy on going development.

- There are many mods

- There are many skins

- It was one of the few boards that could fully import Invision powerboard

- Supports RSS, Polls, and a Calender with mods.. Surprisingly many forums don't support all three of these.

- Bloat that you would see client side can be nearly eliminated with a different style. There are many Light CSS based styles.

- Because of its maturity there are many admin controls built in as well as admin mods. A good admin interface is important, that why Invision and VBullitin are popular.

RSS Feed Details



Yeah that was a nice one that Shayne posted, but I found a better one that will work off login and also works as an ATOM one too.

Attachment Mod - no because I don't have the space on the server to store all types of attachments and my bandwidth is always a consideration.  So unfortunately I won't implement this one.

[Melbosa]

Hmmm split doesn't work the way I thought it would.  Moderators make sure you know the difference between the two buttons.  One on the left works like IPB, one on the right splits from first check box on.

Remove Sig/Avatars - This is one mod that will take a bit of work to implement.  It requires SQL modifications and physical changes to webpages.  Don't know if we want to go this far with MODs?

Probably want to avoid mods that alter the webpages too much.. It will probably create conflicts with styles and create formating issues.

True but might have a problem or two, as most of the mods I see work like this.  There are a couple I know we would want, like the Moderator Merge Topic system.
