Admin CP Some suggestions and shortcomings
 

Here are some suggestions/shortcomings I noticed in vB:

1. Admin account: There is no DisplayName associated with admin account to use to display instead of the ID. This is a no, no as it allows a hacker to know the admin's ID - a 50% hacking already!

2. Human Verification: NO CAPTCHA on post, contact, search...

3. Calendar Month view: On the side bar, include 3 months instead of 2 months: -1 + 2

4. Notices -> There is no way to create a notice for all user types. Currently we have to create the same notice once for each user type! Sggest another group: All registered user types (admin, supermod, registered, pending activation, pendng moderation).

5. Login Attempts: Currently allowing to try unlimited number of times. It should be a max attempts of 5 after which it should lock the user or offer a retrieve password option.

6. CMS does not have tag cloud!

7. Report This! feature missing on cms, blogs, forums to control spam. Further, on clicking Report This a set number of times, the user should go into moderation for all future posts.

8. Blogs -> Edit -> tags cannot be edited or appended.

9. There is no way to add more menubar items to the navbar in the system. Need an admin screen where we can add menubar items and also specify their position within the navbar.


TIA
