DonXoop,

I was referring to the actual database's password, not a user of XOOPS or table names.

MithyT2,

Are you saying people who can choose their own password and like it to be a lot stronger against brute force attacks are SOL (unless, of course, they do the work-around)? I thought i would just point out this bug.

since my password has some non-alphanumeric characters, the installer would rip out part of my MySQL dbpass ie: abcdef$a533 to abcdef3 (or something similar).

i was able to find it in the install script where a function that (guessing) made all input "safe." there are two ways to work-around this problem. edit the installer and remove the function or when the installer says it couldn't connect to the db, manually edit mainfile.php and type in the right password.

News Module, Poll Module, etc
- Any module where the user can submit something shouldn't be visable if they don't have the permission to do so.
- News: Hide "Submit News" for users that don't have permission to create a new news post. If they can't post, there a link shouldn't be visable.
- Poll: Give permission to only submit poll on specified page ala xbox-scene.com. It'd be nice to be able to remove the navbar link but keep the poll(s) on the top page.

newbb/edit account
- set the number of threads before we get pages (ie: 20, 50, 100 posts per page).
- search within thread. case-in-point: i wanted to do a search in this thread to see if this suggestion was already asked.
- alt+s to submit post
- take us to our post's page after editing/posting than back to page 1 (note: if a thread has mulitple pages, obviously, it can't take us to our post via thehttp://#anchor)

Admin Group Editing
- take us back to the group we were editing. when placing new modules or re-arranging modules, it can get tedious having to go back into the group.

Notification
- Make the subject line more descriptive than just auto-reply (have the topic in there, ie: New Message: XOOPS 2.1 Module development Roadmap
