New hacks

[IBBoard]

At Hive World Terra, we currently have a number of hacks running on the original IB code.
They are: Show Gender, Admin Glow, Multi-race pip schemes, Email on Personal Message, members list, banned members list, friends list and a few admin only ones.
If anyone knows of any good ones that they think should be added, please tell me, and I will try to find and add them
It would be even better if you could email them to me

what about customisable(?) ranks?

<p>There are already 3 rank schemes/races.
If you meant individual as in not just changing the scheme, I doubt it for 2 reasons.
1) I don't think that there is a hack a such, it just requires me to add some code (I have only done it for me and Horus)
2) I don't want to offer it, because when the board gets bigger, it will cause a lot of cunfusion and work for me.<p>Sorry, any other ideas?

see Stgn you can control the name not the actual rank scheme. i.e my rank is sergent but my rank name is "complete idiot". anyway its not important, it was only a suggestion.

<p>Ah, custom Rank Titles, I thought you meant pips.
I might be able to get that from dp and hack it in.  It is a good one, it just needs restrictions on its use (ie rules)

<p>yep true or you get silly buggers putting gods know what for names, and sorry for not being specific about the ranks names

<p>And I will have to get it working.  It still won't work (yet)
You still get your original rank names, but not your personal ones

<p>I got it working now.
There should also be 2 rank pips for mods and adins, but that doesn't seem to want to work yet either.  More swearing, kicking and re-sticking me thinks

i wish i could help but i'm useless at that sort of thing

[IBBoard]

I have now got ALL of the hacks working, including one I made myself
My own hack is mod and admin only.  Whereas there used to be Mod and Admin only avatars (Mine and Horus' for example) there are now also Admin only avatars, so that admins can't be Horus or The Emperor.  Mods can be The Emperors Champion so far.
Any other ideas for appropriate Mod avatars?
