QUOTE(no9t9 @ Jan 26 2006, 11:17 AM) is it possible to have a vacation mode where your account is suspended until you come back? for example, if you have vacation mode on (say for 6 weeks)... your website is not accessible and shows the suspended page. in this case, since your site is not accessible, the credits will stop counting down. Once you put it out of vacation mode, your site is active again and your credits start counting again... Hmm.... The only problem is members who just forget about us and go away. The credits system keep the things tweeked and the servers are in low load shape. If I put this feature, I am sure the server will have more of junk accounts than genuine ones. Even if a site does not operate, it still adds up resources and records. The httpd.conf file includes the records and the burden keeps increasing. Other's comments on this feature are welcome.

I think the idea has merit. What if you were to put a time limit on the duration the site can be suspended? Say, if the site in not unsuspended within 12 weeks then the site is deleted. I know it will still use resources for 12 weeks, but at least it will remove the redundant accounts. Personally I can't see myself needing this feature, but I'm sure there are a few out there that could find it useful.

I like Avalons idea. Although I won't really need it it atleast saves them some time of having to get their account back up or even request for hosting again. Maybe put up a forum in the Free Web Hosting section where they have to maybe apply to have an account suspended or just have them post how long they will be away, and why. You can suspend their account for that many days and if they still are gone after the set amount of days they will then start to lose credits. So if I tell you guys I am leaving for Texas for 12 days, you suspend my account for those 12 days. On that 13th day it is unsuspended and I start to lose credits for each day I don't come back.

It's a shame that you've got to completely re-write the code for the new invision version although if it fixes a blatant vulnerability, then in the long run it will be worth doing so. On the other side of things, however, it's nice to hear that you've managed to code a way to have the editing feature active without completely messing up the credit system. This will certainly save the hassle of having to use the report button and explaining to a staff member what's wrong with the post (why you would like it edited!). Nice post by the way at the start, it's very informative and looks like you've been incredibly busy working on all your sites (not just trap17!). I can imagine how much hard work it is to maintain all your sites, but also rewrite the credit system so that it can be compatible with the new system. Anyway, You're doing fantasically well with the whole of the trap17 network and its sister sites. Keep up the good work!

I like Avalon's idea too. The next thing we need is a spellcheck, which I'm sure isn't too hard to find. That should save even more need for editing because members will be able to correct a good majority of errors before even submittng their post. It's a shame to see that a commercial forum system (namely IPB) doesn't have a built in spellchecker when free ones (SMF, phpBB - well, actually, the spellchecker is powered by SpellingCow, but the button is inclluded in the default package) do.

If you want a spellchecker for use with the forums, I highly recommend the Google Toolbar. I couldn't live without it. The good thing about it is it is functional in any online form that you type text in. That means you can use it on ANY forum, not just here. The other plus is you have the Google search engine at your fingertips. I know if you are a Firefox user you already have easy access to Google, but you can now have a spellchecker too!  Here's the link to download the Google Toolbar in case you want to install it. http://toolbar.google.com/

Well, as far as spell checker is concerned. I think, as Avalon said that Google Toolbar is a good idea! But, why not make a use of ANTILOST's Spell checker http://www.antilost.com/community/index.php?showtopic=84I think this is a good nice spell checker and I am sure most of us will find it handy!

I have mixed feelings about the idea. I don't really like the idea of members leaving for long periods of time, but it would certainly be helpful to those who have to take a long vacation every now and then. It's a toss up, I suppose. On a side note: OpaQue, the new changes are amazing, thanks a ton.

I like the idea of the vacation mode.... But I think 12 weeks is a bit long, I would think at most 1 month before your account gets suspended would be plenty long. I'm pretty sure 1 month is long enough for basically anyone and for most vacations. The only people I can think of that this would not work is for military personnel that are deployed for months at a time. Then again, I can see the opposite side of this.... If someone is going for a vacation, they should just posts a lot the week before they leave so that they have enough credit to last until they get back. I'm leaving in 4 days to go to Florida, I'm just posting a bit more before I leave so I have plenty of credits saved to last me until I get back. I'm not quite sure which is better, to have vacation mode or not.... But it's mainly up to the admins to decide. Just giving my input
