Lu Posted May 23, 2010 at 09:47 PM Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 at 09:47 PM I have one other issue. On the old site, if you clicked on a link in someone's post, it would open in a new tab in the browser. Now, the link is opened in the same tab, so it takes you away from this site. I liked the old version, would it be possible to get that back? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roddy Posted May 24, 2010 at 12:23 AM Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 at 12:23 AM I've now got it set to open external links (ie to other sites) in a new tab / window. Is that ok, or do you want internal links also opening in new tabs? I think current best practice is to have everything open in the same tab, but then the user can decide by right clicking / mousewheel clicking, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think current best practice is to have everything open in the same tab, but then the user can decide by right clicking / mousewheel clicking, etc. I prefer a new tab, a new window as a 2nd option. The Watched list doesn't have pages (the old software also included 1, 2, 3,..."last page"). Can the link, at least, go to the last page? I have to always click twice now to see the new answers. These two requests are not so critical though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 24, 2010 at 03:48 AM Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 at 03:48 AM The icon should take you to new posts, although it won't appear for topics you've already read. I've added pagination to the topic listings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted May 24, 2010 at 04:28 AM Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 at 04:28 AM Clicking on the thread title brings me to new posts. I haven't tried that icon since the first time I logged in to the new forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrianlondon Posted May 26, 2010 at 02:58 PM Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 at 02:58 PM Is it possible to change it so when you hover your mouse over a forum topic it shows the (truncated if necessary) content of the first post instead of "View Result"? I know other forums do this but I'm too lazy to check them now to see which particular bulletin board software they're using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweis Posted May 29, 2010 at 10:02 AM Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 at 10:02 AM hmmm I have 11 goals so my check-in thread posts apparently exceed the max number of quotes :blink: Not a really big issue I guess I could just use a bold font instead of quoting myself 11 times. But wouldn't it be better to remove that limitation (I mean, on a language learning forum, isn't is better if people quote precisely each sentence they want to reply to in detail?)

roddy Posted May 29, 2010 at 10:08 AM Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 at 10:08 AM Bumped that up to 20. Adrian, maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted May 29, 2010 at 12:47 PM Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 at 12:47 PM could we have the Forums, New, Watched, Today tabs/hyperlinks at the bottom of the page as well (actually all I want is the "New") so that we don't have to scroll up to the top of the page for those tabs?

anonymoose Posted May 29, 2010 at 01:35 PM Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 at 01:35 PM Could the "New" tab also only display the new posts since the site was last visited (like previously)? It used to be easy seeing which post were really new, but now there is a long list every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougou Posted May 30, 2010 at 05:03 AM Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 at 05:03 AM anonymoose, you can just press the "mark all as read" link in the top left corner of the new posts overview. I'd be happy if that button could be moved down together with the ones skylee requested to the bottom of the page; usually I'll only want to mark the posts as read AFTER I've skimmed over them...

roddy Posted May 30, 2010 at 07:25 AM Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 at 07:25 AM Can I point out use of the home key as a short cut to jump to the top of the page, and also the 'back to top' link in every footer. I'm holding off on template changes at the moment anyway as (oh please god don't hate me too much) there's another software upgrade coming soon. Love you all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted May 30, 2010 at 08:39 AM Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 at 08:39 AM roddy, thanks for pointing out that there is a back to top link. oh there is really something wrong with the emoticon. when I choose an emoticon the picture appears but after posting it becomes something like this -> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 30, 2010 at 09:24 AM Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 at 09:24 AM Skylee, if you turn off the rich text editor (see posting settings here ) I think that should fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted May 30, 2010 at 12:42 PM Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 at 12:42 PM Let me try. :rolleyes: :unsure: ;) B) :wub: OK. It works. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 30, 2010 at 01:08 PM Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 at 01:08 PM I should probably actually fix the problem, but looks like you're happy enough anyway. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
