My 2cc for new features

First of all, fine work !


Now my suggestions for features i would like to see (im waiting for the SQL version, maybe i add them in my " private" one and can send you the code if you want and i manage it).

1) Some fine-tuning in the Board Management like having a chance to copy Postings from one Forum to another, getting the ' normal' User Names instead the IDs in the Private User / Moderator Context (should be all pretty easy, just too lazy to do it myself before the SQL-Version comes out (-: ) and finally a delete USer Button.

2) A way for the User to change the sort-Criteria, possibility for the Moderator to lock a thread on the top of the discussion, and a function for the moderator/Admin to move threads up/down.

3) Additional Support of MS Challenge/Response (for intranets etc ...). I guess i will add this one also and send you the changed code if you are interested.

Hi,

To answer your questions:

1)I am rebuilding a new interface for administration, and it will be available in the SQL version. All the functions you mentioned will be included.

2)sort criteria change is not a good thing to do here. I am sure there are boards out there allowing your users to do so, but I won' t add that much freedom here in my board. The reason? It is slow. My board functions at top performance with index on certain columns, but if I am going to add index for all the columns, it will kill the server' s performance. However, I will provide a few links to say " top 10 most viewed" , or " top 10 most replied" or so on, which I haven' t decided yet. At this moment, sort will be based on date in reverse chronological order, or chronological order but no promise.

3)oh, I am interested in this MS Challenge/Response thing. Are you talking about NTCR? I am wondering how many here would have an NT authentication compatible ISP..but anyway, I am interested in your code, so please send a copy to me once you' re finished @ admin@aspplayground.net. Thanks

Thanks for taking time for suggestion.

Yap, i do (-: , Microsoft Windows NT Challenge/Response (NTCR). I think that this feature is more useful for users working in or for companies with an WinNT network, not for the ' private' user and his ISP. After all more users again to work with this wonderful board.

Maybe one day you can go gold with it and sell it ;) . I' ll send you the code asaI get the SQL version and have the time coding it.
