Board Updates (software geekery inside)
« 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.

Okay, hang on...

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...

Can you include a module that tells us when we need to buy eggs and milk?

How about a button at the top of the page that takes you to the latest post in that thread.

You can do that already by clicking on the icon to the right of the poster's name in the thread list.

After posting on various PHPBB boards for months, I only figured this out about three days ago.  So I'm not all that smart.  I'm just a wise ass.

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.

Damn, thanks for updating me on the new version of phpbb. Guess I'll have to go patch the work board, although I wasn't having any of the problems I was having on my home server on the hosting, thank god!
Now it's just he relative linking to JScript source files that's playing hell with me. I mean come on, having to have all the HTML files in the root directory!? No no no!

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.
