More site stuff

Admin

To add to the previous topic in which we were discussing the site upgrade, we've responded to requests from the forum and have re-coded the comments sidebar Very Happy

It now displays all topics with new comments (and how many comments they've had in contrasting style) whilst being clever and not displaying ongoing "Forum Thud" threads. As before the topic with the latest posted comment is listed at the top and so forth in descending order.

In the next couple of weeks we will be rolling out other bits that aren't quite really upgrades but sorta are. They're more "site enhancements" and we hope you will be pleased with the results Very Happy

Stay tuned for more! Very Happy

Very, very nice.

There's just one thing I noticed:
The tab "my recent posts" under "recent site posts" used to show the same as "My account" -> "track".
Now it shows only the threads I started myself. This is really confusing when you try to follow your games or
active threads while at the same time other people are "flooding" the "recent site posts" section.
(I don't complain about that. You can't avoid it and it's quite useful to get an overview of current forum activity. But it still over-floods the games, especially when there's a break of a day or so in the posts.)

Is this just some evil insect sneaking into the code or was that done deliberately and I have to get used to the "track" tab?
But I'd rather have the old way back again, if that is possible. There's only two clicks to get an update instead of three.
Ok, obviously I can get the recent-post-thing from the new sidebar. I could just get used to the new method.
On the other hand "my recent posts" is just not correct any more. It's more like "threads I last started".

We're working on a thing that might solve this (although it might cause existential angst in the most conscientious of Druids Wink ). We'll try to roll it out this weekend and see if it's a hit or a miss Smile

Same with me, but when I view the "my recent posts" section, I get only the topics I started. (Formely only the topics I contributed to.)

OK, check it now. We've set it so that My Recent Posts includes all posts you've authored OR commented on in date order. I'm presuming here this is what's being asked for? Please do say if I've got it wrong Smile

Thanks, Lee. Works perfectly now. That's indeed what I meant, so it's solved as long as there's no one else to complain Wink

If I'm not mistaken completely, the pic showing up goes along with Thudguild membership. I've never really checked this myself, but mine showed up since then, I think.

Re: More site stuff

i must say lee,i've just noticed the 'similar pages' section when you're in a topic.very nice,allows for easier searching.

maybe a suggestion for the future,in the similar pages section maybe put in random topics from that section,inst4ead of most recent ones.
