Some Modification Suggestions and Ideas from my users:
- A feature that shows who has changed or added to their profile most recently With 2000+ members, it's tough to see who's modified or added a profile recently (or within 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month...)
- When viewing the User List, the ability to select a letter of the alphabet to view. For example, right now, when a user is looking for someone who begins in "m", they have to go to page 9 then 19 then 29.
- People also request "Instant Messaging" alot... but I don't see how much different that is from Private Messaging.
MTO: Edited to change title and move to v.6 suggestions.

- 10 Most Recent Profile Changes: Wow! Good idea! [] https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/laugh.gif[/] That´s more useful than the welcoming new member, as he never has a profile when first registering. Good idea! - Userlist idea: yes, this has been requested many times. As well as advanced profile searches. There is/was a hack around that does/did some of that. - Instant Messaging thing: Would privates poping up in a new window instead of the "new private icon" do it?

I would tend to agree that "Instant Messaging" is pushing it. Private messages are "instant" enough for me. As an Admin, if I had a pop-up window for each PM, I'd never see the main board. [] https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/laugh.gif[/] I would say the Alphabet Sort/Jump thing for the userlist would be a good start. But the updated profile thing, and profile search would be "the bomb" with my users.

I think the "Last Updated" feature for profiles will require another field to be added to the w3t_Users table. One could cheat and use one of the "extra" fields but I already have these tentatively used for other things on my site. A more advanced profile search would be easy enough to create. I'll give it a once over when I get some time. [] https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/smile.gif[/]

Actually, I'm surprised Scream hadn't implemented it... wouldn't it just require a where clause of WHERE U_Username LIKE "M*" for the letter m for example? I know MySQL columns aren't case sensitive... (I found out the hard way when entering in columns for information on files... Something.txt complained about being a duplicate Primary Key because something.txt was already in the DB).

They are loving the User List thing that JustDave did. Some other requests...just to keep in the "mix" for new versions ... - The admin would like to send PMs to all who are currently online and the ability to PM all users. - The ability to download PMs or email them to yourself. Many users hang on to many PMs, when we've got thousands hanging in the sytem, we purge old ones and they are upset. Currently we tell them now to copy and paste them into a text file, or copy and paste and email them to themselves if they wish to save these messages. Also, it would be cool to be able to direct [] [email protected][/] to the users PMs... thus establishing an integrated "web based" email system. Would also need the ability to PM to an outside email address with this feature. Just some obscure suggestions...but I figured I'd post them because you never know who else thinks they have merrit and wants them on their board and/or makes them happen.

I thought about this several times... why not have a maximum file size limit, or limit on the number of PM´s? I once visited someone, and I was surprised to see she had about a hundred PMs! Wow! or... Ouch!
