Not sure how we would do that Shack.

I'll talk it over with Sam, and see if it is possible.

Thanks... it's NBFD, just something I got used to having... used it just enough to notice when it's gone... but not something to put at the top of the list...

Minor edit: adjusted the Join Date format (to the left, beneath the post count). The "am" or "pm" was wrapping to the next line and taking up another unnecessary line of space, so I removed the time from the datestamp. Just a simple thing to tidy up the member info panel.

I bumped max nested quotes down to one. It should be seamless to you as you post. I have a mod in place that will automatically trim the extra nested quotes out of your post so that it doesn't get crazy with the quotes of quotes of quotes.

But what if I get into a pissing match and need to know my veteran status down to the second?

Great news.

Another update:

If you go to User Control Panel, you should see a list of your latest 20 karma comments right on the front page. Let me know if you spot any problems with this.

Mr. Birdland, when I click on "your unread subscriptions" there is nothing there but when I click on "manage subscriptions" the first 5-6 threads all have posts in them since I was last on the site. Is the site somehow automatically marking threads as read?

Thanks.


Sammy, any luck on this? It appears to be happening more now that the traffic has picked up.

Worst case I'll just log out after each visit.

I'm working on creating a custom addition to the User Control Panel front screen to display unread subscriptions. Hang in there :)

This should now be fixed. If you go to User Control Panel -> Unread subscriptions, it should now show you all topics that you are subscribed to that currently have unread posts. Once you visit the topic, it should disappear from the list (unless a new post is added in the meantime).

Keep in mind that this will only show subscribed topics. There may be topics that you posted in but that you are not subscribed to. You can tell if you are subscribed to a topic by scrolling to the bottom and looking below the "Who's Online" section. If the link says "Unsubscribe topic", then you are subscribed. If it says "Subscribe Topic", then you are not subscribed.

You will now see three links at the top next to the User Control Panel:

Your Posts -- shows all your posts

Unread Subscriptions -- shows all topics that you are subscribed to and have unread posts

All Unread -- shows topics from all forums that have unread posts

This tastes delicious. Thanks!

Is there a way to ensure that you automatically subscribe to any thread you post in?

I believe it is User Control Panel -> Board Preferences -> Edit posting defaults -> Notify me upon replies by default (yes)

Testing an issue where images don't fit within the post...

Edit: Large images will now automatically scale to fit inside of posts. There will be a magnifying glass icon in the corner to see it fullsize.

Sam, I was thinking of something that might be cool. I enjoy seeing how much Karma others have. I know we don't want Karma to get to the point where it's a HUGE deal like rep was at a certain board, but I thought it would be cool to have a column when you click on members at the top where, similar to posts, you can see how much karma a user has and sort by it.

Maybe I'm just a little too into it but I think it'd be cool to have :)

Hey Adam, I just added "Karma Leaders" to the bottom of the front page. That will show you a list of the top 25 users with the most karma.

I was wondering if there was a way to preview posts by scrolling on the topic without clicking on it? Thanks.
