LightBox is becoming more and more popular now you can use LightBox in both regular forum posts AND in gallery posts.

Click on any of the example images below to see Lightbox at work.

The images are screenshots of:

A great of example of topic prefixes is right here at FusionBB.

We have been using topic pre-fixes on our bugs forum for a little while now. We use the feature to mark items as "Not A Bug", "Fixed", "Checking" etc.

To use this great feature you first go to AdminCP -> Edit -> Edit Topic Prefixes to create your topic prefix.




After creating the prefixes you wish to use you need to edit your forum(s) to enable Topic PreFixes on the particular forums where you wish to use them.

Then when making posts in your forum you can go ahead and easily add them with the new drop down box:

We know that some of the more advanced Fusion users like to make modifications, look up information, etc. by executing SQL directly through the SQL Editor (AdminCP -> Database -> Execute SQL).

Now we've made it even easier by allowing you to save your favorite SQL commands so you can more easily execute them again in the future.

If you haven't used the new client area to download a release yet you can find instructions and additional information on the client area HERE .

There is also a tutorial video on using the client area HERE .

We had a few bugs when we first launched the client area but we've worked them out and have haven't had any reported recently. This however is our first major release were files are ONLY being distributed via the client area. So if you run into any problems or have any questions please PT me and I'll make sure to help you out ASAP.

If you have custom skins - you will need to add a new markup icon for the lightbox functionality (image attached or create your own).

And you will need to add the following to the markup area of your skin's config file
Code:

      "markup_lightbox" => "{$conf['abs_url']}/skins/Professional/markup/markup_lightbox.gif",  




(Adjust path as needed)
