Title: Board Updates (software geekery inside)
Post by: jough on September 03, 2003, 07:30:25 am: Hey Kids,

I just patched this board, bringing it up to 2.0.6 from 2.0.5 and also including a few other security patches and some other mods and fixes.

Anyway, please let me know if something isn't working, especially if it's something that always *used* to work.

And while I'm feeling constructive, feel free to make any feature requests too. I'm fixin' to bulk this baby up.

Post by: jough on September 03, 2003, 11:44:18 pm: I coded some of it. I'm not part of the official team, but I did fix two bugs in the latest release.

And I'm working on a mod to merge threads.

So I'm not above modifying the board to work however I want.

Let the suggestions roll...

Post by: AugustWest on September 04, 2003, 04:02:24 am: What about the little icon to the left of the Thread title that allows you to jump to the newest post that you haven't read? That has been far more useful to me.

Post by: CortJstr on September 15, 2003, 08:59:25 pm: I'd like a Mark Unread if possible.

I hate it when I'm at work reading on my break and somebody interrupts me and I have to go do work and come back and it looks like everything is read, except I know I was in the middle of something but can't remember what.
