Don't forget avatar galleries and linking to an avatar via url. These are enough to prevent several big boards from upgrading that make use of these features.

As far as I am aware, there isn't one for IPB3. I believe there may have been one for IPB2, but there are quite a few mods that were never upgraded for IPB3 or are in the process of being upgraded. I'm personally looking for a mod for IPB3 to disable/enable the bad word filter on a per forum, per user basis.

Did v3.2.1 add back avatar galleries? It's too bad that 3.2 seems to be a step back though, at least myself and members like the new default skin. Avatar galleries would prevent a lot of big boards from upgrading. IPB/IPS should not remove features and functionality that other software still has and is relied on for many communities, if IPS wants IPB to remain attractive to those comparing the various features and options between the different board software before they decide which to purchase, good for the competition but not IPB/IPS.

These need to be core features of the software, telling us to seek out a hook to get removed functionality back is not good enough. There's always the chance support and updates being ceased if the developer disappears and then what will we do?


At least the size of avatars can be changed again, but for goodness sake IPS bring back the other previous functionality such as link to an avatar via url instead of uploading it.
