[!] New Forum Features!!

You don't need to upload 2 versions.


Just use the image resize bbcode..... for example (quote this post to see how it's done)





What I can probably easily do is write a bbcode that avoids having to wrap the URL BBCODE, so it's a one stop operation.

That sounds like a plan.

To stop firefox resizing them.

Type about:config in the address bar

In the filter bar type browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing

Double click the entry under that to set it to false

Close the tab/window

You can still click an image that is too large to shrink it.

I don't quite get the "similar topics" * section Smeggy
How is this - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10511
similar to this - viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7371

Made me smile though!

I presume it works by comparing threads with similar words in the title/posts.

(* Don't know whether it's a new feature, but I only just noticed it)

Yup that's how it works - It's a simple alogorithm. It's difficultto get a computer to work out whether a topic is similar or not. But although it could be improved it would slow the forum down so I decided to keep it simple and it's cool to throw up random topics that we forgot about.

Greetings folks. You may have noticed the new orange button displayed on every post. I realised that there was a red button to take us to the top of the page, and a green button to take us to the index page, but no button to take us back to the sub-forum itself. It's orange and it's a button. Click it!!!

says: "yes we can!"

[Stanley Tweedle]

Do you mean where it says 'forum' next to the red and green button?
Mine's not orange.
It's a darker shade of grey than the box it's in.
Sorry for being a pain.

I know what you're gonna ask me lol.

Aha, but when my mouse hovers over it turns orange.

[Lord Gumble]

Smeggs the great forum tweaker in UK history

His new icons though,m need new hardware!!



Just whack one of these in your disk drive and instantly, full forum control!!


(taking piss here)

Smeggs, a great addition, and saves me scrolling!!!

what would be even better?

code a simple menu, mostly used options, and make it hover on the left over those ghastly ads!!!

Yeah I've been thinking about a forum tools menu of sorts. Although the 3 icons across the top is suggesting this area is a great place for a tool bar. I mean it is a tool bar already really

Don't forget the feature that's at the top of the topic view on the same line as Topic reply/Search This topic to the right where it says 72 posts • Page 4 of 4 • 1 2 3 4

Click on 72 posts and you'll see who posted in the thread and the number of posts. I could easily add a button to the right of the green button to show this, thus extending the post toolbar.

Any other functions you can think off please post them and I'll see what I can do.

[Stanley Tweedle]

It's all working perfect now Smeggy. Thanks.

Cool

[Lord Gumble]

smeggs add one more button please??? i would like one for the view new posts instead of scrolling up all the time

That would make that bar 10000% more useful

LG

[Deb Arkle]

Good idea Gumbs! I'd use that lots too.

Another one - unless I've totally missed it, is there a 'empty all PMs' button? It seems to be an awful lot of clicks to empty the inbox & sent box, I don't tidy up often cos it's such a fag!

Yup great Idea! I did already put the black view new posts bar at the bottom of the topic page, but having it on all posts would save a lot of scrolling indeed!

Consider it done (after I eat )

[smeggypants]

Done!!
