Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

Oh no, it doesn't do that. It sorts them all by the last post date, the stuff below that line are the things since the last time you visited (logged in) or the last time you clicked "Mark Forums Read".

So you have the granular "You've read this or not" through the bolding of the thread titles. And you have the more high level "These are recent, and these are old" through that line.

Cool. Now I know!

I've put the avatar size back up to 64 x 64 now, as this layout allows that.

I love you ! :)

It's a minor niggle but the new site doesn't seem to have page anchors (remembering where I was the last time I visited a thread), although it may just be me as Firefox is being flakey, anyone else got the same issue?

It does. But the very first time you come here things might be weird until you go to Quick Links in the navbar and click on "Mark Forums Read". After that it should effectively track everything.

Wheels was right: "I love you too!"

Just got all of the old links working... so things like these links that are still in lots of posts will work:

I've just added the Google AdSense slots, but until some adverts show up and I know they're working I can't make them "guests only"... so apologies if you all see some adverts.

Tested and working... so I've set it so that only guests see the adverts.

If you start a thread in classifieds with a prefix, and then go back and edit, you lose the prefix!

That's probably a real bug. Just let me know when that happens and I'll fix it.

Check my post in classifieds - Now says Wanted: 1/8th Chainring.

I think I'm just about done on the technical side.

I've added caching of posts, avatars and attachments as static files, memcached on the server, optimisation of HTML (removal of all whitespace), optimisation of MySql, re-direct all old URLs, install sitemaps, add robots.txt, fix the headers, put in caching rules on static files. And a few other things I've probably forgotten about.

I'll start adding features over the next week or so. Need a break now though.

If you weren't playing around with all that memcached MySql horseshit and URL robot nonesense, you might have got the forum finished sooner, honestly! some people.

;P

Seriously, well done, looking very good.

P.S anyone here ever memcached themselves when zipping up on the way out of the toilets ?

hey, its all working out pretty well, not too confusing. But my avatar doesn't seem to show up on comments, but it shows up on my user profile. Any suggestions

You've upload a profile picture but not an avatar. You can have both... an avatar next to your posts and wherever your name is, and a larger picture that goes in your profile.

Hi VB,

One thing I miss from the old forum is the "Back to discussions" link that appears at the bottom of a thread page.

It was really useful when you'd read all the posts on a multi-page thread and want to get back to home (or Posts) screen.

Any chance of such a thing re-appearing?

or "back to posts" ??

+1. or even re-creating the
'Posts Categories Search ... '
bar on the bottom of the page for added functionality?

+1 to that, have to keep clicking on top, at bottom of page to then get to the top, so I can then click onto the 'Posts' category to see the new posts, it seems when I click back on my browser and go back to the posts page, it doesn't update and show the thread as read...
which is annoying

Solved... Shortcuts to the right of Social Bookmarks.

VB, it's faster than Vanilla.
This makes me unhappy because I am now 2% more productive at work due to less time spent browsing the forum. Please be reducing forum speed. Thanks.

If you want me to... for you alone... I could.

Would you like each page to take 20 seconds to display?

At least 20 seconds. Cheers! :)

Great work VB - You Are Legend.

On Friday afternoon I was worried. Now, having come back to the working forum, I really like it.

The only thing I'd like, if it's possible, is the option to turn off the viewablity of the avatars. It would make my life much easier at work :]
