Most wanted modifications?

The ones I always install when I'm using FluxBB are:

1. Coloured usergroups

2. Some form of anti-spam mod

3. Something to show what group a member is in under their From: and Registered: post info

Often requested are polls and PMs. Polls are kinda handy sometimes, though I wouldn't say vital. PMs personally I don't really care about, I'm happy to just use email, but I've had complaints quite often because it seems these days people don't check their email regularly as they are used to get their messages on facebook/forums etc.

1. Akismet. (almost done)
2. Gravatar support. (done)
3. Some other markup format that requires less [ and ]'s. Something like Markdown.

And a toolbar for BBcode is useful too.

So you got it to work? Nice.

mmm its about what people really need.
well i use these:

1- BBcodes buttons
2- Small bookmarking plugin
3- Small Captcha plugin
4- Open Id.
5- Poll
6- Videos Embed plugin
7- Sitemap Generator Plugin
8- Brodcast Email.

------------Those were the plugins that i have-----------------
------------Those are that i dont have-----------------

9- Facebook Connect.
10- Adsense Manager.

jojaba, that's already possible.

See: http://fluxbb.org/trac/changeset/1185

Well this is a good beginning ! Thanks for this information !

Adding new markups would be also very interesting, but the new functionnality FSX shows is already something that gives a real fitting potentiality to FluxBB.

Go ahead, guys !

(Sorry for my poor and probably  bad english )

Hi, first post here.

I'm a user of the Arch Linux forum, so I'm not a forum administrator or developer like you guys.

So, I humbly beseech you to be patient with me, if I'm going about this the wrong way, in the wrong part of this forum.  Or if there is a well known answer, that I should have already found elsewhere?

The No.1, option that I would so love to see added to FluxBB, is the ability to change from "Classic" mode to "non-Classic" mode of display.

Many of us use large high res' monitors, I'm using a 24".  So we often need to bump up the font point size for the comfort of our eyes.  I use 24 point fonts in Firefox.

Due to this I have to do a lot of cursor control key, left & right scrolling to see what is in Code boxes.  Whilst doing this I notice that there are over 175 millimetres or 7 inches of mostly blank column down the left hand side of the forum post text.  With the user name & details sitting up the top of this column.

If we had the choice to view in the non-Classic mode, where the user details sat across the top of the post, we would be able to make much better use of the screen real estate than we can now.

As a trade-off, ability to easily narrow that column & force user details to use more space down the column than across, would allow for less wasted space on screen, & thus a the wider display of post content.

I don't know if there is a plugin available that offers the non-Custom mode I speak of, & if so how difficult it is for the forum administration to apply it?

Perhaps what I speak of is already incorporated into the coming version of FluxBB?  Under such circumstances I'm very sorry for wasting your time.

If it is incorporated, will it be difficult for the Arch forum administration to upgrade our forum & incorporate this new ability?

As someone who has been a member of the Arch forums for nearly 2 years, I congratulate the FluxBB developers, as I have no other complaint, it works great.

Thanks for your reply Paul.

I posted in the Arch forum & at ostalk.org regarding this problem; I was told that I should try the Firefox add-on Stylist, which I have done.

Stylist has improved the colours of some sites I use regularly, so that's nice.

I knew that there was a person on our tiny ostalk.org forum who is also an Arch user & has posted quite a few popular "styles".

He responded to my request, with some code, which after another request, which asked if he could put the data following each of From: Registered: & Posts: on the line under them. 

He very quickly did this & it works, allowing the user to modify two ***px numbers to suit their resolution & font variables & taste.

So now I have a solution, where I can easily & quickly modify the width of the column on the left hand side of the forum post's content.

Thanks again for your reply Paul.

I'll post the content here, which I'm sure, for all of you in the know is just so simple as to be worthless, but perhaps someone else like me will stumble upon it & it will save them many hours of research.

The 200px figures below, are set to suit my 24" display & 24 point fonts in Firefox & this is for the Arch Linux forum.

Cheers.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("bbs.archlinux.org") {

.postleft, .postfootleft {
width: 200px !important;
}

.postright, .postfootright {
border-left: 200px solid !important;
border-color: #f9f9f9 !important;
}

}

[Edit:] tjwoosta, gave me the following code today which works - it automatically narrows the the column on the left hand side of the post text area, enlarging the text area. People don't have to change the ***px value. I think this ability should be a part of the default FluxBB setup (at the Arch forum at least):

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("bbs.archlinux.org") {

.postleft, .postfootleft {
width: 11em !important;
}

.postright, .postfootright {
border-left-width: 11em !important;
}

}
