SE Future...

[Dude]

Could you folks please stop using this thread for trouble shooting and feature fishing?

Let me quote Mr. Lewis

Do NOT clutter this thread too much   More, try to offer some nice suggestions that can make YaBB SE a better piece of software.

And try to remember, all a message board has to do is to allow users to read, write and reply to messages. Everything else is bells and whistles. We all want bells and whistles but just because we want something doesn't mean it has to be in any future version of Yabb.

Thank you, my rant is over. I feel better now and I'll go away again.

 . Isn't my post consider a suggestion to make YaBB SE a better software ??

*pushes to the front of the scramble*

Users being able to delete their posts may be a good feature for you, but remember the other hundreds of people that use YaBB SE . I think I am right in saying that letting users delete their own posts could just be plain murder in the eyes of some admin.

Moderators and Admin are there for deleting posts.

[Webby]

I have to agree with that.

It so often happens that somebody ask something on the board, people reply to it, and then the topicstarter deletes their first post.  So everything is plain nonsence, and should be deleted, because the original question is gon.

I think it is the admin's task to delete the posts.....!

Thks for all your reply. I was just asking whether is there such a feature in the upcoming version. And i did mention that i will refer to mod for further assistance. Guys, don't get so work up over this  

[Jeff Lewis]

Hehe request noted

Deleting the first post whereby deleting the whole thread has gotta be one of vBulls worst features...
....Well done YaBB for sorting it....

[queks]

Well, i got limited web space and i know most of my members so i was hoping to request them to help me delete off those closed thread. Not everyone is so fortunate to have the assistance of moderator.  

[Jeff Lewis]

hehe no need to argue  We at SE realize that there are many different opinions.  It's why we offered so many things that admins can toggle on or off

We just want to make you guys happy

If you know most of your members then make a few of them Moderators and they can help you with your Board Maintainence.

cheers.........

I made the experience in my board that people dislike a lot when their posts are deleted. I would prefer if the answers are not deleted automatically. There can be good answers which make sense, even if the original question was deleted. Examples are: somebody asks a question, feels foolish about that when the answers come in, and deletes the question. Good answers stay good, even if the question is deleted.

I would like more yabb code! Specifically embed for video/sound clips.

I would be nice if there was an easy way to add the tags , like as an admin you put in something like:

[embed,$hieight,$width]$URL[/embed]

and then what the html is to do what you want, in the above exmple, you would have to define the height , size and URL varibles.

[powergen]
