Board News

By jlnr (dev) Date 2010-06-17 10:02

Hello,

I updated two things to make the board easier to navigate;

1. All boards are now threaded, meaning that if you click 'reply' on the posting you mean to respond to, your response will be properly nested in the tree of responses. So from now on, please click on the right 'reply' buttons and enjoy the slight reduction in chaos :)

2. There is an iPhone OS/iOS board because the platform is different and adventurous enough. The old thread was really getting a bit hard to navigate.

Also,

3. This is not news, but you are a moderator in whatever topic you start, so feel free to clean up if you think some postings do not contribute any new information, or are plain outdated.

wow i like the 3rd option, very self managing; hopefully.

YAY THREADING!
YAY TOPIC MODERATION!

I love the threading (and the other stuff, especially self-moderation), but there seems to be a problem with how posts are marked "old" and/or "read" (not sure which, or why there are both states, for that matter...). I seem to have to manually mark everything "old" now, even though I've read them. Did you change anything related to this, or am I just not telling the system that I've read something in the proper way? Please advise.

The thing is that the board thinks you just arrived at the board if you access it via forum.pl (which is what your bookmark should be). I think this system is impractical, not only because nobody expects to bookmark specific files, but also because people reguarly link to specific topics. I want to see if I can customize that as soon as my server is colocated (it's just being packed).

Well, changing my bookmark (I was using forum_show.pl) seems to have fixed it, and that's good enough for me! Thanks!
