  • Forum hacks

    I've hacked the forum again. On the main forum page, on the bottom, you can now see what members of the community have visited the forum on that day.

    Not sure if I screwed anything else up....

    Forum Statistics

    I've hacked the forum yet again, and, quite to my surprise, all seems to be working.

    If you look on the bottom of each forum page, you'll see a new hyperlink that says "Forum Stats". With this, you get all sorts of statistics on the usage of this forum.

      Quick Reply Box

      I've added a Quick Reply box to the bottom of all threads. With it, you don't have to use the "Post Reply" button, which will load another page. This "Quick Reply" box allows you to upload attachments, but nothing else. For the more advanced method of replying to a thread, use the "Post Reply" button as usual.

        Similar Topics

        I installed a new hack, which checks whether or not new topic threads that you are about to submit, have already been discussed. Use the button next to the new subject box to see if that subject has already been started.

        Hope this doesn't confuse things too much.

          Similar Threads Area

          Added a "Similar Threads" box on the bottom of each thread page, which might help you find other threads that are related to the one that you are reading.

          Let me know if there are any problems with these extra hacks. Made a lot of changes today.

            Thread Preview Pop Up Boxes

            I've installed another hack on the forum. This one allows you to see a preview of the first post of a thread. Just let your mouse hover over a thread in the "threads view"; a small pop up box will appear with the initial contents of the first post of that thread. It also works in the Search part of the forum.

            This should allow you to surf the forum easier.

              Page load times

              I've done it again. Installed yet another hack, this one is more for me for debugging than anything else. It shows you how fast each page is generated on the server. You'll find that information on the bottom of each page. Let me know if something doesn't seem to work right...
