Do these old IF features work somehow...?

I'm now converted (thanks!)

But there are few IF features we loved that I either cannot find, or don't exist.

Can anyone please tell me if these exist, if so where are they.

- Review the complete topic option while posting in a topic.
- Forum only moderators do not appear on the Administration and Moderator List.
- Forum Jump is gone.

Individual Forum Moderator's do not appear on the list and forum jump is gone but I think there's a code for it in the User Created Codes section :)

We use this one

It goes here:
Admin CP Board Template Below the Board:

Code:
 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://z3.ifrm.com/86/75/0/p30982/JumpMenuZB.txt">
//Jump Menu
//slayer766
</script>


It works great on our forum,
I think, I remember seeing posted, that eventualy it might be a built-in feature for Zeta.

Thanks for the response, that code ain't bad at all. The only side effect is you need to wait until the page fully loads before it's able to work.

Still, that is better then nothing, and with a bit of luck Zeta will make one standard soon.

Another couple of questions that I've come across.

- Important topics...don't look important anymore. On IF you could stick another icon in there to make it stand out, can this happen on Zeta?
- Online/Offline indicators only work on the active users list, but even if you log in offline your profile still says you are online. That fixable at all, or did I miss something?
- Ability to make BOTH forums and topics as read. At the moment Zeta only marks the forums as read.
- How do you edit members signatures outside of the Admin CP? I have the option "Can edit signature" turned on but the ability to edit signatures is not part of the profile edit options.

Man, I love the new features Zeta has, but it's also lost ones I loved too. :/

Sorry for the questions, I'm still learning Zeta...

Indeed, I believe it's in the works, or being considered at least. :)

Could you clarify what you mean by "stick another icon in there"?

I believe it may be related to the active user list time limit. For example, if you set your active users list to display users online within the past 30 minutes, then users active within that time will still appear as "Online", even if they're logged out (Since technically, they are still "online", I suppose.

This has been requested before, so it might be included in a future update. :)

You will be able to edit a member's signature if they have already entered something in it. If their signature is blank, you won't be able to add anything or edit their signature. This is something that I would expect to change in future (Can't make guarantees though. :P)

Both of these are deliberate, but I can see them returning, also. We'll have to see. :)

Let us know if you have any other questions. :)

Ok, on InvisionFree there was an additional small area next to the topic icon which you could insert another image to help make the topic standout.

Although, I've noticed on the Support board you have helped identify Important topics by using a different color background...I might just try that instead.

By that I meant that when I click a members profile, go to "Profile Options > Edit Profile" I found there is no option to remove/edit ones signature in the Moderation Options. There are options to remove their photo or avatar, but not signature.

I've got another couple of questions too if I may.

1) I've noticed Zetaboards only shows polls on the first page of a topic, can this be changed to appear on all topics?
2) Also, I was trying to move a bunch of topics at once, but "Move" does not appear as a moderation option from the forum view. Is there a way to do that, or do I have to do each individually by going into the actual topic?

Thanks for the reply too, don't get me wrong I LOVE what Zeta can do, but I also want to know how much of the old IF things I can still use as well.

ZetaBoards does not have the option to use posticons.

It appears a signature can only be edited via the ACP, on my test board that is.

It appears polls are only added to the first page of a topic and no option to change that is available at this time.

In order to mass move topics, you'll have to create a topic Autotool:

For the moment, yes. Being able to edit signatures via the "Edit Profile" option outside the Admin CP is definitely a requested feature amongst the staff, too, so I'd expect this to change. :)

Again, I believe the option to make polls appear on all pages has been requested, and may be implemented in a future update.

Re making the thread title/row for pinned topics...a different color font. What part of the css handles that, or what's the code to do that? Thanks.

So, if we're at Wish Concert, would I request (if that weren't requested yet), possibility to edit Member in ACP just like was in IF (
  • possibility to block member's posting ability
  • possibility to force Member to post all his/her messages as hidden
  • Possibility to change user Password (duh)
  • Possibility to change User's theme to another one
  • Possibility to edit Members IM and other Information (Location, Interests &c)
  • Possibility to edit instead of deleting Members HomePage
  • Possibility to editMember's avatar size in px instead of removing it (highly requested by me)
).

Also I would be very happy, if we would have a list of Members who are using specific Forum Access Mask (set while editing Member by Member of Group:).
