"Auto lock old topics" .. http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2040 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2040) Maybe add this so people cant bump 2 year old topics?
"Board notices" .. http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2371 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2371) - Maybe this could be handy?
HANDY FOR FORUM MODERATORS - like the function we had[/b]

Anyway, I made a list with some cool modifications.
- http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=436 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=436) (Adds a guestbook on your profile)
- http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2504 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2504) (Handy app when you're visiting the forums using a mobile phone, automatically changes into a phone-friendly theme)

The forum already converts into mobile-friendly...when using LG default browser, anyway.

Good idea, I like these mods as well :D

Yes. I've got an LG Neon right now and I was browsing earlier with it.

There are some topics that are actually bumped anually, you know.

This is why we were against this modification...
Forums turn into a colored shit with abusing the codes... Even from admins...
About suggested functions:
1. Lock old topics...
Does not need, as there is a function like archive, which can set to archive topics with the settled time no response...
2. Boards notifications...
Will not be used as it will use the forum space even more... This is the reason why we removed the news flasher from the same position... As we have banners on that area, adding the notifications will just move topics of board more down and user will have to scroll just for seeing the topics even...
3. Message boxes...
We will check, if this function can be settled for moderators and higher and if this function will be abused by moderators... In a positive answer on this check ups the modification will be removed from forums...

Don't think so - most of the forum moderators know what to do and won't abuse it, in case anyone still doubts about this problem; add a restriction so that you're only able to use it on the boards you are moderating? I seriously doubt that the forum ''will turn into a coloured shit with abusing the codes''. Yesterday when I noticed these new options I thought they were accessable for all users..

Damn you Apple.

You doubt when it already started... Great...
As about restrictions I said - I will check if there are...
-

No, not really.. Yes I saw it happen a couple of times (even I did it, only in this topic though, sorry for that) but there are easy solutions for restricting this function, so that removal would not be required. I understand why some moderators began to use these notification boxes for random misuse, just add a restriction on it so it prevents from usage in non-moderated boards.
-
So far they are open to all users, even those outside the administration team.
Tested it both with this and a separate forum account.
-
Removed due to abusage.
New mod added
-
How did you add and remove them? o_o

This mod has no restrictions from the beginning...
-----
To the topic: We try the other mode (with the restriction)... Still players can edit it (lmao)... I do understand what players want, I do not understand the point of such modifications (the way they are built)...
I will try the mod suggested by Greg on MSN as add-on to the current one to prevent players edit the administrative notes...

I see it's now restricted. ;o
I was talking about how Gregersen was able to change the SMF Mods D:
