Forum Updated

[Dan]

I've updated the forum a bit.

There's a new activity stream now which I think is quite cool. Though if you want the old "What's New" thing, you can click "Quick Links" in the blue menu bar when browsing the forum and find the link there called "Today's Posts" which presents you with the same information as before.

You can also now see who's read any thread by going to the bottom of a thread. (I just need to activate it per usergroup in a minute some members wont see it right now.)

The sidebar should be collapsable now for those who were mentioning (moaning about ) that it was getting in the way on their tiny old time-to-throw-away computer monitors.

Enjoy - and use this thread if anything needs improving or fixing with the forum and I'll work my way through the list.

The new format is 'growing on me'. Thanks for fixing the sidebar toggle Dan.

Members who have visited a thread is now active, you can see this under the "Similar Thread" options in any thread.

And "Double-post Prevention" is now also active which means if you post to a thread that you are already the last replier, your new post will be added to your previous post. One minute must have passed for it to start to work.

Cool. When I look at the forum on my phone a "button" for tweets appears on the LHS, can you get rid of this too?

2nd that one, Fine on the PC but a pain on the phone.

Can you take a screen print for me? What phone is it?

And do you see this button on all pages? Or just threads?

Wait there I think I know which one you mean. I'm struggling to login the system that will allow me to remove that. I'll finish upgrading all the forums (nearly 20 of them!!!!) and then will get back on it mate.

It never gets used so there's no point in keeping it really.

We need our own twitter account anyway and not a shared one. I'll work on that asap but there's no rush for it.
