Sorry Bigfoot if that sounded like a flame... here, its almost Easter, have a chocolate bunny.  

How is 1.3 coming?  I am doing my final conversion Saturday morning from SP1 to my new domain.    Would love to be able to install the new stuff!!!  

[Michael]

Aw, that means you won't be using my games mod, exp bars, or user templates anymore.

Heh, I'll have to port those, and Godai already did exp bars, so no worries.

I am glad to see that you are involved over on this side, Michael.  You sure have done some great things with SP1!  Thanks for all the great mods in SP1!  Myself and others are sure to appreciate them on the SE platform.

how about being able to remove old messages from certian groups example
group 1 remove after 30 days
group 2 remove after 15 days

and so on..

Why would you put a link to a picture in your profile that requires a password?  

damn, screwed up, sorry about that

Many people hide their e-mail addresses to avoid spambots...  People like me, who have bigfoot-tell-the-entire-world-to-spam-this-address free redirect service don't care, but others do.

So, an idea for YaBB SE....  every @ or . in an e-mail address will be replaced with what the admin chooses.  In account prefs, the person can choose if they want their address mangled or not.  Some examples of the mangling is shown below (@ and . can have the same examples, I just show the @, use your imagination!)

@ changes to  @  (@ with a space in front of beind)
@ changes to (at) (why not!?)
@ changes to <hosted at> (anything along those lines)

Well, you get the idea.  Mangle the address, fool bots, cheer up users!  Just an idea...

@Golden: If you want the e-mail addresses protected from spam bots, I'd use the HTML ASCII encoding (i.e. &#137; or whatever), it screws up most spam bots, I believe, so if you had part or all of an e-mail address entered using the ASCII number codes, spambots shouldn't be able to get it right, but browsers will display it just fine. This'd be a cool forum feature, but you could only really do something like replacing the @'s and .'s, because I'm sure most people don't want to spend the time to write out a script to convert every character to its HTMLized ASCII code.

[Big P]

That wouldn't be too hard actually, just a case of using strstr() I believe. Well obviously a bit more than strstr() but its the foundation for it.

[Michael]

What, writing a whole conversion script? That's easy, but like I said, who the hell wants to spend the time to do it? Probably be a waste, too, because I don't think people really need their YaBB translating every e-mail address completely.

But I'd use an eregi_replace, I dunno why you'd want to use strstr.

[Jeff Lewis]

Hehe, why not just hide your email address??

[Webby]

   LOL !

Sometimes problems can be solved so easily  

[Michael]

I think Golden's point was that people would want to be able to let members of the board get in touch with them via e-mail, but at the same time, they don't want to have to worry about spam bots picking up their address. It'd be a nice idea to just translate the @'s and .'s, as a pseudo-protection. No big deal, just a good thought, might make users feel more comfortable.

Listen guys, I have finally ended up with a proposal ....

I don't know whether it makes sense or not .....


I have read in the features list that there's integration with different IM clients. You certainly know Trillian ....

It can keep up with up to 5 IM accounts .... it's really a good one, my question is : is it currently supported or will be supported in the future ?


If it doesn't make sense .... well I'll stand by my normal question .... please give us the 1.3 !!! When will it come out, it's a lot of wait !

trilian is a comibination of icq msm yahoo enz so if there supported then trilian is also
trilian uses id's from other chat progs so by itself it cant be supported because nobody has a trilian id
