There have been a number of requests for codes that are either not possible, not allowed or just too big to be done by request. So please don't request them, or your thread will be locked.
- Display Information on an external site - Quite simply isn't possible to do without breaking the TOS. You can't legally get hold of the information.
Automatically Sending PMs - It's just not possible to send a PM when x happens. A PM has to be sent by the user, and can't be sent by a code.- RPG / Shop / Bank Codes - These codes are (generally speaking) massive, and just too big to be done by request.
- Skin Options on Main Page - This is only possible by remaking the skins using SSD's skin generator.

Note: A new generator and skin selector will be creating in the coming months by us. - Stop Members Deleting Themselves - It is a members right to choose when they leave a forum.
- Automatically Deleting Members - Simply not possible
- Giving Others Access to the Security Log - Only the main admin can access this and the member group options.
- Increasing the [insert feature] Character Limit - The character limits on things such as the signature, custom title, thread title etc are set on the server. There's nothing we can do to change them. There is however a workaround using the censored words list here.
- Anything that could be considered an invasion of privacy
- 'Sub-Sub' Boards - This is not possible at this time but may be considered for future versions. The only reason we have it here is because of a modification Martyn made to the server itself, any code which modifies the create board form is a violation, as ProBoards needs to control the data sent to the sever. [Coming in v5]
- 'Top X Posters', 'Top X Karma' - Like above this would require server side coding and is extremely unlikely to be done by request.
- Automatic Refresh / Redirect - The ads keep your forum free so it's only fair that users have a chance to click on them. Codes like this would prevent that so are therefore a TOS violation.
- Extra options before registering - Gender, Display name, Forum Skin etc. Simply not possible; it'd require modifications to the actual ProBoards source code.
- Email Notification - It's actually already a feature but goes under the name of "Bookmarks". You can change the way you are notified of posts via "View Profile -> Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks".
