sounds great!!! cant wait, though MSN could get lost for all I care...

at least on MSN you dont get endless porn website messages, my god my ignore list is on about 200 at the moment

randomly generated passwords are now only alphanumeric characters (upper and lower case) and a max of 10 characters long

I'm also adding a secret question/password thing so that instead of having a random password mailed to you, you can answer your secret question, and (assuming you get it right) define your new password right there.  I'm doing it to save those schmucks who don't have sendmail configured right on their server.

It's done.  try it if you want.  look in your profile for the new fields.

Wow! Was just checking out the Bugs board and it looks like you guys have covered almost everything.  Looking forward to 1.3

Also looking forward to seeing the list of features and new features 1.3 will have

[Joseph Fung]

Hmm...list of features...crap - I can't remember what's been added wince 1.0 and what was there  

[Jeff Lewis]

I honestly can't remember either...

There is now a choice whether to receive an email notify of each post or some vB way.  The stats are new in 1.3, user selectable language, online/offline in posts, view posts by newest first, option on how to censor words so something like crapake mushrooms can be handled properly, compact topics (1,2,3...7,8,9).

Not sure what else...

[Brad]

A complete list of features would be fine

[Golden Tiger]

I don't have a use for this... but others may have one...

Advanced registration...

- Everybody can register
- Mod and Admin can register somebody
- Only Admin can register somebody

This way, you can lock out a board to any guests as well as lock out registration.  This way, a site can have a totally secure forum.  I can see how our school would demand a board that has that feature... when (if they ever) wanted to set up a staff and faculty only forum.

Just an idea...

What I don't get : this board is already using the sourcefiles for v1.3.0
I noticed no problems so far, so when it runs ok here (with all those people visiting this board, and nobody complaining anymore), it must be ok then, or am I wrong ?

I mean, it won't have to take much more time to release it then, won't it   ?

Maybe it is time to set a more specific date to release it ?

[Joseph Fung]

The problem is that this server isn't the same as all the others.  Magic quotes, safe mode etc. causes a lot of little nitpicky problems : P

We need to make sure it works on all those.

[Webby]

Ah, I get it !

Thanx.

[kurgan]

no problem

also I assume the 1.3 will contain good docs?

Id like to implement a portal around the yabb core, but I dont know where to start since all the sources only come with a copyright header, ie: no useful info whatsoever  

[Joseph Fung]

sigh...such is he problem with porting code rather than just making your own.

also such is the problem with people hassleing you to get it out ASAP - you don't spend the time to really document it

hmm...added a couple nifty things today.  fun fun.  better url autolinking.

[Webby]

Yeah, about the docs : I would like to translate the dutch.lng (the 1.3.0 version) into Dutch, so we can put it in the package OR use it on yabb.nl !!
I have translated the v1.1.0 version and some mods, so I could do this very easily !

Just an attempt to help you guys, and future (dutch) users of this great board !

[obazavil2]

yep

when is 1.3.0 out??

* obazavil2 is pissing himself (Omar)

[Jeff Lewis]

hehe you guys crack me up...

-Are you going to release it?  Can we set a firm date?

-Oh why doesn't this work or this work?

It's coming guys.  As Joseph says, many hosts set things up differently and this causes problems.  See our apostrophe problems, other fixes we needed to add for safe mode etc.

It works great on here because this is where we developed it and any bugs that popped up we could clear them up right away

As for docs...there is a board where guys are going to try to develop some documentation...
