Would it help if I did like a blog entry of how I created that online indicator hook?

If it's a pain to have to re-add in a link manually, create a hook for it, or request one be made.  Hooks like that are dead simple to create, and will be unaffected by skin changes in minor version upgrades.  Hooks are your friends.

Yes and every time we upgrade or install a skin we have to edit the template,think if you have more than 1 edit in templates , it'll be a pain doing this everytime.

Yes, If the user is online and are asking a question I will answer it faster if they are online and slower if they are not.

I used the My Media button in the editor.

Yeah, this was removed and I can see how this would be something some would want.  I think it's a testament to the ease at which IP.Board 3.2 can now be modded that it was only about a 20 minute job to whip up a hook that brings this functionality back:

I'm really disappointed at the amount of things that were removed in IP.Board 3.2. If IPS doesn't like certain features, they should at least add an option to disable/enable it in the Admin CP. Removing features is very counterproductive if you ask me. This is the only release of IP.Board that I've had negative comments about.


Another thing that was removed which I don't think has been mentioned in this topic yet is user notes.

Well, that maybe Charles/Bfarber/IPS opinion, but how did they come to that opinion? I don't recall any feedback being requested on that subject? Have you got a direct link to this topic so I can respond?  I know for sure that if I upgraded to 3.2, and didn't install the hook (Big thankyou to Michael for producing it) that I'd have thousands of members moaning at me.

Act fast! This promotion ends June 17, 2011.

Ability to add products from Amazon would be nice. User, when selects an amazon product, is redirected to the amazon storefront (affiliate referral) to complete purchase. This could be done after user completes other in-store purchases within nexus. (with a notification displayed of the future redirect)

Just a suggestion to be able to change the Users online list at the bottom of the forums between - last click, and alphabetical.

My members regularly used this block under vB to find their friends who were online, but now it is sorted by last click they can't use it this way effectively at all.

They know they can click to see sorted pages of who's online, but it's extra clicks and covers multiple pages - a quick glance in alpha order and it's sorted (pardon the pun ... lol)

Thanks,
Shaun
