Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

31trum's a wanker, ,[URL="http://www.londonfgss.com/tags/vb+is+god.html"][/URL]

i know, i know.

So what's going on with the threads over 50 pages long? When I click the arrow to go to latest post it keeps serving the first page of the thread?

I just clicked around and it all worked. What thread were you looking at? I looked at names to faces.

bike porn has been doing it for a few days, and names to faces did it today, prompting me to mention it.

the 'last page' button has code to the right place but the little black arrow far right next to last post userName point to http://www.londonfgss.com/thread29.html#post171882
seems to be missing -57 between 29 .html

i'm seeing this in firefox.

that's by design if there are no new posts on the thread, since you last read it.

I think

I'm getting it too.
now to do with new posts

you just don't wanna be left out :)

It's working as designed.

The "Last post" link goes to... the last post! It doesn't need the page number in the URL, and yet it correctly goes to the last page.

Logic like this:

• Links on the left

• Have there been new posts since you logged in?

• Yes: Go to the first new post in the thread

• No: Go to the first page of the thread

• Link in the "Last Post" column

• Go to the very last post in thread, whether you've read it or not

Anything unexpected by that?

he's right, David, it's not working (on firefox anyway)

if you click on last post, say on the spotted thread, it takes you to the first post.
and on other threads with more than 50 pages

Oh fuck, he is right.

OK, give me a moment.

Fixed.

Required the update of a piece of the forum software, and a few hundred lines changed (thank God for regular expressions).

eek. Thank god for you understanding RE. They annoy me so much because they are so damn confusing.

It's the only way I code... write code that writes and adjusts code so that I save my time and sanity.

Social Groups.

I've now added a feature so that the owner of a social group can send an email to all of the people in that social group. Particularly useful for group announcements.

Example: If there were a polo social group for those who regularly go to the Sunday polo, then if there were something affecting that and the members hadn't visited the forum recently then a email to that group would notify all interested parties what had happened.

Of course, UserCp preferences about receiving emails still take effect and you can opt not to get emails if you're a member of a social group.

I've added auto-tagging to new threads... it creates the tags based on the thread title if you haven't supplied any tags. If you supply tags, it will use those.

If you want to be lazy and have this work well, just make your thread title informative.

Is there any way of setting up firefox not to embed youtube videos but just provide a link to the video at you tube? I can't find one.

I find that if I am in a thread with one or two you tube videos on a page all is fine but if I go to a thread with lots of youtube embedded videos on one page firefox grinds to a halt. Top tells me fire fox is using all my cpu.

Is anyone else having this problem?

I updated my flash player after the security scare I never had this problem before. Is it just me?

Are you on the latest FireFox and everything (Ubuntu 8.04 I take it?)?

And using adblock to prevent anything from the following file loading would do it:

VB - quick question changing main thread titles, after they've been posted (thanks by the way), can i do that?
just gave it go... and i can only edit the internal title not the main thread title.
thanks

Thanks VB I'm looking at firefox now jsut have to update a data base first.

Thanks to T-shirt money I updated the RAM on the server a couple of days ago. It should now be quite zippy (where it had started to slow a little at busy times before the upgrade). The site is now running on a 2GB RAM server, up from a mere 256MB thing when we started last year.

Will there be enough RAM for an iPhone theme now ;-)

Sure, when you've finished writing it for me I'll upload it for you.

What are all the green squares about?

The little green squares?

They're an experiment.

I may turn them off. I'll leave them for a week and if you like them I'll keep them. Click the bit to the right of them to have them make a little more sense... it's basically a measure of reputation on the site... you can approve/disapprove with things people say, and this helps build a picture of how the wider community views people.

It's to help newbies know who to pay attention to, and could also help identify trolls when they turn up (lots of people giving negative reputation at once would reflect on someone).

I'm not really sure if it is worth having though.

The messages entered, well the ones you receive are shown in your UserCp.

It may just be clutter. But I'll only really know by seeing if it has any value at all.
