-Mark all posts read.
-Show users groups.
-Send PM button.
-Delete one post or all.
-Attachaments. (Hability to delete or change attachments editing the post).
-Private forums are hidded to users without permission.
-New buttons, Private forums with new messages, Private forums without new messages.
-New button for sticky posts (you can see if sticky post has new messages or not)
-Little icon for showing if post has attachments.

I'm waiting for impressions. (For very bad impressions just lie )

Thanks We'll review the hacks and se if we can integrate them into the official module!

Just about to give this a shot but the URL is misspelt, try here;

Corrected Download Path

Update:

Installs fine, works fine, however (aaaarrggghhhh) the bulk of the changes are in Spanish - as are some of the graphics. Anyone up for a translation?

Also the changes in admin are without correct labels EG;

_MD_A_ALLOW_ATTACHMENTS
_MD_A_ATTACHMENT_SIZE
_MD_A_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS
_MD_A_EXTENSIONS_DELIMITED_BY

Ok, solved.
If you don't want to download again add this to language/enlgish/admin.php

define("_MD_A_ALLOW_ATTACHMENTS","Allow attachments");
define("_MD_A_ATTACHMENT_SIZE" ,"Max Size");
define("_MD_A_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS", "Allowed Extensions");
define("_MD_A_EXTENSIONS_DELIMITED_BY","Extensions delimited by |");

I am still getting this in my forums:

Marcar Todos Los Foros como leídos

Sounds faboo!

I'm wondering if it would be a lot of trouble to hack this so that it can actually run side-by-side with the existing NewBB module. (I'd like to give it a test run before moving over...plus I'd like to have a little security that if I do an upgrade to the core it won't break the BBS.)

This hack uses the same tables in bd that original newbb. But it adds some files to bb_forums and bb_posts tables.

I think there is no problem to restore the original newbb after testing newbb pro.
Just make a backup of bd if not sure.
Newbb Pro doesn't delete any existing info in your bd.

Finally, open language/english/main.php and add:

Lovely, I saw a hack like this before but that was in for a not understandable language and this is at least in english... :)

However, a suggestion. And this moment it is impossible to give different groups different permissions. Since now 'normal' members can upload also files, why, I for example want to set upload for admins and mods only.

@Jan304
I'll work on it, i have collected some experience with groups permissions modifying mydownloads module.

(I'm sorry with translations, I love german but it's tooooo dificult. )

Thx. But, now you said that, don't forget I expect a lot of it

Oh btw, I do not speak german, but dutch :)
