HEY Everybody.
I would like for this Topic to be a BRAINSTORM.
SIMPLY. I'm really an Ideaman and sometimes the ideas just flow from my mind, so here I will post all those crazy ideas for programmers as inspiration to future MODS they will make.
This is also because I'm not a programmer myself and are not able to make the mods I come up with ideas to. And I'm sure there are lots like me 
I Urge all others to post their crazy ideas for MODS here.
Let's make 1000's of ideas, you all know that a 1000 ideas only come up with 10 MODS, so post.. post ..post your Ideas.
FIRST IDEA: maybe a MOD that would make it possible to administrate the colors and thing on ALL buttons in the forum, such as, all SUBMIT buttons and stuff.
SECOND IDEA: A MOD that would make 2 or 4 of the smilies exchangeable in the admin section, so you could exchange 2 or 4 smilies every now and then
THIRD IDEA: What about a MOD that made it possible to configure and turn ON/OFF a pop-up window in the forum, maybe incoporate it with a banner rotation system. Or simply just being able to get a URL.
Well that's it for now, but there will be more |

Thank's, OneWayMule
I had already downloadet it, but hadn't come around to trying THAT MOD yet *SS*.
Actually I think I have downloadet some from you too, and thanks for making them!.
My site will open in a couple of month, and the URL i think will be in my signature then.
It's s'pposed to be an Open Forum in Denmark with all kinds of topics, and I have great Ideas for making traffic, så I want to make a Well programmed and designed site and forum.
ANOTHER IDEA: It could be nice if, through a point system members could see how long, and when they would get a new rank., a simpel points system would do it, that's refering to the counts you choose in the MEMBER RANK ADMINISTRATION, then I could make a FAQ that would tell 'bout the Ranks, but they would have to be able to see their points, and the output must be called different than POINTS, if it should work with the POINT MOD, maybe a graphical output *S*

IDEA: What about a voting system where users can vote for each others profiles,, maybe you get one daily vote, or/and you can only vote one time for a member definitely. Then there could be an TOP PROFILE OF THE DAY/WEEK/MONTH/YEAR link/pop-up thing that showed off this profile.
It could be built into the POINTS SYSTEM MOD så vote's are something you can buy maybe. That way it would also be the top users of the forum that would get opportunity to get the most vote's
And as always, the more configurable the better.
What about a Sorting system for the members page, ex. sorting by country, last post, member since and so on.
ex. find all from 'country' and so on |

Another IDEA: An extended member configuration MOD
A mod for configurating All members/selective members.
ex. I would like to chosse ALLOW pics/HTML and all the other stuff for single selective members, as a feature in the admin section, or on the "edit member" page.

IDEA: maybe it would be great with a MOD that would extend the archieve functions, I would very much like to be able to administrate this part more....
Ex. I would like to be able to Archieve topics, replyes individually
and I would like to have more options for archieve periods. f.eks. I have A forum I would like to Archieve every 14. day, I can't seem to do this. If it could be build to AUTO ARCHIEVE it would be great, but it would have to be for individual forums too.  |

IDEA: An option so that the ADMIN could make several smilie sets for the forum.
Ex. 3, 4 or 5 smiliesets( complete change smiliesets) and then let the user in some links (menu) on the front page choose between these smilie sets, there would maybe be a problem when a user is looking at post, posted with another smileset, but it could be done.
Admin Options:
# smilie in sets
# of smilie sets
and of course being able to exchange all those smilies.
Could it be possibel to incorporate a feature in the POINTS MOD so that users could buy smilies to be used ONLY by them. *S* |

WHY: is there the possibility to make long long long long posts taht will make a very very very long scroll to the right. anywhere I see the Snitz. Isn't it possibel to make a feature that would make the text scroll downwards instead, I think this has to do with the "NOWRAP" and COLUMN options in the ADMIN page.
BUT it would be a nice feature if users with a simply click could decide in which "Mode" the would see the topics and replyes |

| In a non mail subsciptin forum like the Snitz, it could be great with a feature for the Topic maker (poster) to subscribe if there were made replies. |

That option already exists. It is probably turned off in this forum because in working with code sometimes the wrap will make the code look different than what it should. |

When using code tags, the text will not wrap no matter what settings you aply in admin, this is by design so that important lines of code are not wrapped when displaying them in a topic. There are a few examples of ways of getting round this, not sure if they are available as mods, but you could probably get the code from my forum files by looking for [scrollcode] in the inc_func_common file.
There is also an extended member config mod already. |

Maybe you should try the mods already available before brainstorming us with ideas that have already been explored  |

If nowrap is "off" in the right col. then the message should wrap, right 
Anyway I dug this out of either Crashs or ServerHackers forum code a long time age.
Its the code for the text-area you get when you use the [code*] tags.
In "inc_common_functions"
1- find these lines
fString = ReplaceURLs(fString)
fString = ReplaceImageTags(fString)
change it to this
fString = ReplaceURLs(fString)
fString = ReplaceCodeTags(fString)
fString = ReplaceImageTags(fString)
2-Comment out " ' "these 2 lines (may not look the same as yours)
(also I think there is only 1 line in the latest ver.)
'fString = doCode(fString, "[code*]", "[/code*]", "<form name=""selectall""><center id=""code""><pre id=""code""><div id=""code"" align=""center""><font face=""courier"" color=""blue"" size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ id=""code""><textarea name=""getcode"" class=""code"" cols=""60"" rows=""4"" readonly id=""code"">", "</textarea id=""code""></font id=""code""></div id=""code""></pre id=""code""></center id=""code""><center id=""code""><div id=""code""><button onClick=""JavaScript:this.form.getcode.focus();this.form.getcode.select();"" id=""1"" name=""1"">select all</button></div id=""code""></center id=""code""></form id=""code"">")
'fString = doCode(fString, "[code*]", "[/code*]", "<pre id=""code""><font face=""courier"" size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ id=""code"">", "</font id=""code""></pre id=""code"">")
3- below these lines
ReplaceImageTags = strTempString
end function
add this function(remove these * there are 4)
'##########[code*] [/code*] Replace ##########
Function ReplaceCodeTags(fString)
Dim oTag, cTag
Dim roTag, rcTag
Dim oTagPos, cTagPos
Dim nTagPos
Dim counter1, counter2
Dim strCodeText
Dim Tagcount
Dim strTempString, strResultString
TagCount = 2
Dim CodeTags(2,2,2)
Dim strArray, strArray2
CodeTags(1,1,1) = "[code*]"
CodeTags(1,2,1) = "[/code*]"
CodeTags(1,1,2) = "<pre id=""code""><form name=""it"" id=""code""><font face=""courier"" color=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ id=""code""><textarea name=""getcode"" class=""code"" cols=""60"" rows=""4"" readonly id=""code"">"
CodeTags(1,2,2) = "</textarea id=""code""></font id=""code""><br><button onClick=""JavaScript:this.form.getcode.focus();this.form.getcode.select();var ttr=this.form.getcode.createTextRange();ttr.execCommand('copy');"" id=""code"" name=""1"" class=""copy"" >copy code</button id=""code""></form id=""code""></pre id=""code"">"
CodeTags(2,1,1) = "[CODE*]"
CodeTags(2,2,1) = "[/CODE*]"
CodeTags(2,1,2) = CodeTags(1,1,2)
CodeTags(2,2,2) = CodeTags(1,2,2)
strResultString = ""
strTempString = fString
for counter1 = 1 to TagCount
oTag = CodeTags(counter1,1,1)
roTag = CodeTags(counter1,1,2)
cTag = CodeTags(counter1,2,1)
rcTag = CodeTags(counter1,2,2)
oTagPos = InStr(1, strTempString, oTag, 1)
cTagPos = InStr(1, strTempString, cTag, 1)
if (oTagpos > 0) and (cTagPos > 0) then
strArray = Split(strTempString, oTag, -1)
for counter2 = 0 to Ubound(strArray)
if (Instr(1, strArray(counter2), cTag) > 0) then
strArray2 = split(strArray(counter2), cTag, -1)
strCodeText = trim(strArray2(0))
strCodeText = replace(strCodeText, "<br />", vbNewLine)
strCodeText = replace(strCodeText, "</p>", vbNewLine)
strCodeText = replace(strCodeText, "<p>", vbNewLine)
strResultString = strResultString & roTag & strCodeText & rcTag & strArray2(1)
else
strResultString = strResultString & strArray(counter2)
end if
next
strTempString = strResultString
strResultString = ""
end if
next
ReplaceCodeTags = strTempString
end function
Thats all
