- Don't allow users to send IM to me.
In this case the IM button of the user will not be shown in the normal forum

- don't show active status in Users online

These have been discussed everywhere.

You can put "*" in for blocking..

Active status would be taken care of with the who's online/hidden users mod that is being put in as a built-in feature, as far as I know. As for not receiving im's from someone, I suppose that would be work well as the second option to the buddy list system (if that gets implimented) in my opinion.

maybe an extra checkbox for this option would be more comfortable?

another anonymity option I would like to see is following:

- option to disable "Show the last posts of this person"
So not every user except admins are able to look at all my posts via the profile.

That works, but I think most users won't know that. You could add a text that says it works or a button or something that deletes all the usernames and than add's the "*" (using javascript I guess). Oh well, you probable know how to do that yourself.

I don't see a need for that, your posts are on the board, that is public. Why do that? I don't understand.

It says you can put * in there... read the text

But making such a function would be more difficult to list all my postings.

I still don't see a need, but hey, different persons different wishes.

If it's not included a mod for it shouldn't be that difficult to make.

Not really, you can also search by user..

klumy · August 21, 2003, 12:21:42 PM

Maybe you are right. And this setting doesn't make much sense, because of the powerful search engine.

But another suggestion:
Remove the display of the language in the user profile.
BEcause if the user uses an English languagepack, it doesn't mean, that he speeks English. maybe he/she have no choice and have to use the English Language Pack. I think this display is misleading

It doesn't, not if you're using Dutch for language.
