Re: Forum requirements and (un)desirables Reply #100 – 2014-03-17, 16:45:24 Clearly Josh is on the right track. After all, letters are written like this:Dear, Josh,Hello, Josh,Bla, bla, bla.Bla, bla, bla.Sincerely, yours,Yours, truly,Me.

Re: Forum requirements and (un)desirables Reply #108 – 2014-03-18, 10:18:13 It's not easy to misunderstand that epically. You have to work at it.Special note: I'm flying blind here so I probably missed it, but-- I'm surprised Josh hasn't gone ballistic because this thread is way off topic.

Re: Forum requirements and (un)desirables Reply #112 – 2014-03-19, 11:22:41 Adding links could be more convenient. Right now the selection is wrapped in Code: [Select][url][/url], saving a little bit of typing, but it would be slightly better if it was Code: [Select][url=|][/url] (where | is the cursor position). Even better would be to (have the option) of automagically pasting the content of the clipboard at the position of | if it seems to be an URL, e.g. it begins with http:. Alternatively an optional dialog to which to paste/edit the URL, My Opera style.
Re: Forum requirements and (un)desirables Reply #113 – 2014-03-22, 06:27:20 Quote from: mjmsprt40 on 2014-03-21, 16:11:58It's easy to ignore a thread. All you have to do is choose not to open it.I am basically ignoring an entire board here (the Lounge) and it's not so easy. Whenever I open up the unread threads, which is how I read up on stuff, I see a bunch of Lounge threads. So I have to go to Lounge, mark all read, and return to unread threads to see what's really of interest to me. Any idea on how to make certain boards or threads easier to ignore?How about an anti-bookmarks feature: Threads and boards specifically marked (say, Ignore) don't show up at Unread anymore. Make the list of ignored threads and boards manageable under bookmarks. BTW, there is a way to get email notifications from a board when a new thread is put up. How about making bookmarks work for boards the same way: I can bookmark a board, and new threads that are written there show up under bookmarks. Wouldn't these features make the forum bookmarks more usable?

Re: Forum requirements and (un)desirables Reply #117 – 2014-05-03, 11:01:29 "Mark all as read" and "Mark selected as read": what about to make them switch places? I'm personally used to hitting the edge right button; but if a user's bothered to work the marking - he won't be "half-unconscious" hitting the buttons - so it must not be a problem having the "selected" one not in the far right. ?
