Incoming major use of the multi-quote feature.
What's the point of the no-edit after 15 minutes? Just so people can't go back and undo something they said?
Yes. The edit button is there so people can fix spelling mistakes and such, not go back and change what they said, etc. On the old forum, you could only edit your post if no one had replied to the thread since your last post (or so I think). Now you should be able to edit any post that's been posted within the last 15 minutes.
I didn't want people to edit really old posts but that were at the end of a thread. I also wanted to be able to have people to edit posts that have been replied to, but only for a few minutes. The whole point of a forum is too keep a string of comments in line. If people can just go back and change what they said, what's the point? Plus it can easily make reading it confusing.
On a somewhat related note, some of my pictures have disappeared, and I can't figure out why, because I can't see what I originally typed in the post.
See
here for an example.
Any suggestions?
http://gallery.finalgear.com/ was setup to block hotlinking and I forgot to add this new subdomain to it. All fixed now.
Those numbers are cached so that it doesn't have to search the big PM datatable to see how many you have. They should update the next time one of those numbers should change (you get a new PM, mark one as read, delete one, etc.).
Ps: viper i think you should just focus on the new theme. After thats uploaded, and if people are having issues, you can be able to fix them cause thats the only thing worrying you. But Its up to u.
I'm not the one working on the new theme (i.e. I have nothing else to do right now really) and this one is just fine for the moment. It's not
that ugly.
I was surfing on here earlier on my PSP and vB is alot smoother than phpBB.
Yeah, vB should work quite well on mobile devices. If you want to browse (and not post), try
the archive designed for search engines. I'll also look into seeing if there's a mobile version mod that'll serve up a theme designed for mobile devices.
May have already been said, indeed it may already be in the works and possible with themes, but there's too much clutter :/ I like simplicity.
Well I like features, else I woulda gone with something like punBB (a super lightweight forum software).
For example can the stickies be not-so seperated from the rest of the topics, just with a sticky icon next to them?
That's a mod I added and I personally like it. It makes it easier to tell what's stickied. On the old forum, they'd often get lost IMO and no payed attention to. I can customize it a lot though (like remove "Sticky") and such. I'm open to suggestions if you guys really don't like the dividing bar, but I'm more inclined that you just not run a small resolution.
The icons for no new posts and new posts since your last visit aren't different enough, it's hard to tell at a glance what's new (again this may be in the works with the theme),
That's because they
are the same. The
icon is used to show that a thread has new posts.
the name of the topic creator would be better where it was originally,
That just makes less horizontal room for stuff. Not gonna happen.
in another column rather than below the topic title, the last post name and date would be nicer on the same line (split currently)
Again, it's to give more horizontal space. Why stick it on the same line and make that column really wide?
Etc. etc. Just mostly i think it'd be nicer with all the clutter thrown out
Well, the "clutter" is here to stay for the most part. Sorry, but I like features over super light and basic forums.
