I've installed a lot of enhancements for the forum. A few notable ones include

lookup thread title before post (to see if there is already a thread for the lazy people who do not use search)
the twitter, facebook and google +1 on the left hand side - would appreciate if you guys used as much as possible to drive forum traffic here.
Most notable is the Arcade


Various other small features installed too but to mention will make the list go on and on. I'm sure you will all appreciate once you use them.

Feedback is welcome!

I DO NOT like the GOOGLE search added to the Search box... If i want to search google, I GO TO GOOGLE.

If you want to search the forum use advanced search right under google search.

Forum usage suggestions:

When I click here...

http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g457/ChanClan66/forumFail2.jpg


It goes to here... to the top of the last page (or really the first page)


http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g457/ChanClan66/forumFail3.jpg


Instead of going here... to the FIRST POST at the bottom of the last page.


http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g457/ChanClan66/forumFail4.jpg



In summation: when I click on the goto last post (which is really the FIRST POST) it should jump to the first post. and VICE VERSA...

When I click on the TITLE of the thread...it should open the FIRST POST (not most recent).
When I click on the goto last post, it should open the LAST POST (or most recent).

Since the post's are arranged in descending order (most recent to FIRST - unless it's just my post order) those links should be changed.

Do I have this correct? or can I change this for my list display seperately. I'm not sure I like the reverse order of displaying the posts. Maybe adding a link for jump to most recently read in a subscribed thread.

For mobile, I'd prefer if it only shows topic name,instead of the sub forum as well (such as general discussion). Saves space and easier to read.

You can change it separately within your usercp. When I click show last post, it goes automatically to the last post. So it does work....

Sig, avatar, profile pic, attachments etc I am working on. Seems with all the updates I messed that up :moody:

Not sure what you are talking about there please explain further?

Also, I have something coming for iPhone users or any other phone that uses "Push" ;)

When you view new posts, you see general discussion > forum enhancements

Only title (if possible) is enough isn't it?

SAM
05-22-2012, 02:39 PM
Ok in other words, you would like to click "new posts" and then see all unread threads rather than the section it is in also?

There is a second mobile theme that you might want to check out. Just use the drop down box and select "default mobile theme" the current one is "uK_Lightweight"

Let me know how you get on

Ok, I can't stand this GLITCH.. sometime's ( OFTEN ) when I click preview Post, the preview shows and the post entry box for typing suddenly become's VOID of all Carriage Returns <13> and is GLUMPTED into one continuous line of jumbled BLAH!.. ??? WHY?

SAM

This is the page when i am editing the post.. correctly formatted and unchanged when i click edit.
http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g457/ChanClan66/forumpost1.jpg


THEN, when I click GoAdvanced, and then click PREVIEW POST the formatting changes to THIS> All one line, no carriage returns (aka Linefeeds, <13>, ENTER keys) and the post is shown as one continuous line of words, no line feeds.

Test 4 Reply with quote.. In sequence they are working correctly. but if your edit takes longer that 10 minutes it won't stop quoting.

I think the 'Reply to Thread' should ALWAYS be a new post, and the other links go to the group'ed quoting.

Could go over here on the first row of tool bars ^| -this tool bar- |^

and I don't like how it clips the space's either?

EDIT: and I think I've reached my NagLimit for the week...

Damn these tabs on the side twitter google+ and facebook are F*CKING annoying get in the way so much.

I have to agree their position is usually RIGHT where you DON"T want them to be, maybe if they were on the OTHER SIDE, same spot?

I can put the tabs on the right side if you want. Assuming most people have scroll mouses these days lol
