We might want to add a paid forum for paying members. What would be more interesting though, is a vanity title for paying members. Right now we manually edit the donor's title to like "xy benefactor", "big shot", or whatever. MyPaypal changes group membership. This group membership seems to be visible only in the "who is online" list. If that group membership could be visible at all times, I wish somewhere in this list the donor status could be clearly visible in every single post. That is a necessary feature to make things interesting for our potential donors. It could be a graphic flag like with administrators. Or a title, like "big spender" instead of addict. Or the poster's actual group membership could be written into every post. Or they get elevated to 6 stars. Anything!! daddyo2 addict ** Reged: 03/18/02 Posts: 647 Loc: xxx Philippines Post Extras:       Mario3 stranger Reged: 09/12/04 Posts: 4 Feature wish: vanity title for those who donate [Re: Mario3]       #2849 - 09/12/04 04:52 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Username Status Title Last Activity Location Mario3 User stranger 09/12/04 07:48 PM Checking who's online So instead of "User" I could be "honorary member" or "benefactor" or whatever. But this is the only place where "User" appears. I wish there was a hack for it to appear in every post.

Threads has been discontinued - so we probably won't be doing any more development on the UBB.Threads version of MPP since eventually Threads users will have to change to a different product. Or apply the hack for it that eric posted. You won't have to worry about reapplying it with each upgrade - since there won't be any more versions of UBB.Threads released by infopop. -------------------- Josh www.ThreadsDev.com www.VertexHost.com Post Extras:       Mario3 stranger Reged: 09/12/04 Posts: 4 Re: Feature wish: vanity title for those who donat [Re: Josh]       #2854 - 09/13/04 05:04 AM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   what is this? ubbthreads will be killed by infopop? well at least they will finish the actual beta versions? I have a lifetime license, will this transfer to the new board? Please post a link for the unaware (me) When will that new version/board be running, that will have the feature? Where is the link to the published hack?? Thanks for the quick answer and sorry for so many questions Post Extras:       Josh Second Banana Reged: 06/10/03 Posts: 1185 Loc: United States Re: Feature wish: vanity title for those who donat [Re: Mario3]       #2855 - 09/13/04 05:26 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   6.5 will come out of beta - but then there won't be any more development of it. They are discontinuing both Threads and Classic and creating a new product. It was announced in the newsletter and on thier site a month or so ago. http://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=38213 -------------------- Josh www.ThreadsDev.com www.VertexHost.com Post Extras:       Josh Second Banana Reged: 06/10/03 Posts: 1185 Loc: United States Re: Feature wish: vanity title for those who donat [Re: Josh]       #2856 - 09/13/04 05:27 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   And myself and a couple of other developers are creating a new product - called FusionBB as well. www.FusionBB.com -------------------- Josh www.ThreadsDev.com www.VertexHost.com Post Extras:       Pages: 1
