Title: A couple of forum tweaks
Post by: Mark on November 07, 2007, 05:36:55 AM
Alright everyone, I've made a couple of changes today and I also want to answer a question I have had asked a couple of times.

Firstly you will notice that your Private Messages are now appearing in index form rather then all messages being listed in full. This is more like the PHPbb way of doing things and I think it keeps the page much easier to work with. If anyone really does'nt like this change then I guess it can be put to the vote but I dont see why anyone would have any problems.

Secondly I have changed the "rating" under your avatars to a "cookie"... why? well now we can all give each other a cookie for good work :)

Thirdly, I have had a couple of people asking me if I can change the board so that a user is returned to the thread he or she was posting in (again like in PHPbb). Well I cannot change any site wide setting, however you guys can change your own personal settings under "look and layout preferences" in your profile. See attatched.

Give the man a cookie! :D

Excellent work. The new display method in the PM system is a major improvement imho.

Do you get different flavoured cookies?  I want chocolate chip. :D yum.

The cookie thing seems to brighten my day a little.  I like that idea.  Awesome thinking Mark. :D

ahh, so that's why my pm box is messed. Yoy can't tell which ones have been read either.

Can it be added as an option to do index or list view in your profile that way people can use whatever they like?

Ones you have replied to have a different icon next to them, as for read or unread - i was pretty sure they had different icons too, if not then itll be something theyll probably fix in smf2

I can already do so. This is just for common knowledge, but how many posts do you need to be able to give cookies?

Are they gingerbread cookies?  :D
