If there is no URL title, but there is image - make image clickable. And if there is nothing both in title and image - place sacramental `click here' for the link (4-Jan-1999). Make `configurator' - a web accesible tool to make ready to install ruboard distributions (idea of JR; 19-Dec-1998) If anything typed in URL or IMG fields but we consider the URL's illegal - give user a chance to correct, not throw it away (21-Dec-1998). Done 25-Oct-1998 -- Banned words Done 27-Oct-1998 -- Word wrapper (text formatter) Done 26-Oct-1998 -- text/link/vlink colors Done 26-Oct-1998 -- subject/head background image plus to colors. From Eddie Rhodes (some features are already implemented, some not): > registration system that validates e-mail addresses > faq acceptance Nice ideas. But may be implemented completely by external script with no changes to Ruboard. > moderation capabilities > ability to lock out problem users IP based locking is implemented in Ruboard now. But the idea of automated locking constantly problematic users looks interesting. Though I usually do not trust automatons all related to real people :) > automatic archiving This is the point which is completely messed from Ruboard now. I'm thinking on it.. > forbidden word feature Will be in 1.2 > customizable user profile May be implemented by external tool with no modifications of Ruboard. I thought about it, but decided not to implement anything too complex -- it's hard to make user profiles universal enough.. > spam protection for e-mail addresses Nice idea! Will be in 1.2 > ability to customize appearance of all parts of the program. Not all parts, but plus to currently customized backgrounds font shapes and colors will be customizable in 1.2 > search feature It's not the business of web board, IMHO. Specialized tools like HT/Dig or glimpse will better suit. > Moderation capabilities > > The ability to assign more than one moderator to a forum, with > different permissions given to each by the administrator, is a highly > desirable feature. Moderators should have the ability (optionally) to > lock out users, delete posts and other abilities. Locking, deleting messages and registering/dropping users are available in Ruboard now. Implementation of multiple administrators is very easy, but I see no real motivation for this.
