Oh ok... I did feel kind of singled out

Crono, that's a good suggestion, but the problem is that usually when I can't work out how to implement something then the person suggesting it isn't really going to be able to write a PDL algorithm Do you have a particular thing/addition in mind?

The only thing I'd like is for the link styles to pertain to an entire thread and not just a specific link. But that would require some backend work, and throw out the whole relying on browser cache thing. So, no not really .

I'm implimenting (in a team) a library site for my software class. This stuff is tedious, like, the code its self is cake, but the documentation we have to write is nuts! On monday we turned in our design document. 104 Pages! FOR A WEB SITE! (who said engineers can't write? )

But, if I ever had any suggestions for some major site add ons I would most definatly write it up in some sort of pdl/php/psuedocode form. [addsig]

...as in clicking a page number of a thread doesn't change the threads links (from the board view) to 'visited'.

However, as I said, this can't be done without either a) changing the page script to a function, passing in which page they wish to view (then the browser cache would take care of the rest) or b) setting it up in the backend.

Does that make sense or should I elaborate? [addsig]

I don't know of a way to change the colour of the 'main' link, only the page number. PHP can't access your browser history, so it's all CSS and whatnot related, and if you come across a way to do it (apart from changing the page number styles..) please let me know.

And Reno, what country are you in, why are you up at 5/6am?!

Nope, not really

However, I just thought of a rather small functionality that would be nice.

A "pm all" option in the private message area would be nice. Not sure how you store the usernames (according to table set up and such), so, I can't give you an algorithm : [addsig]

Haha no, no way, not for you peons anyway, just think of the potential abuse Although sending to multiple people would be nice.

I see your point.

What about this then.

How about taking away the 'edit' option in the editing forum if you have a correctly marked answer?

I mean, if it's correct, you wouldn't want them going through and just deleting their message

In any case, anything I could think of (at the moment) would pertain to minor details about the site. Overall, its very well made. ... However, I haven't 'tested' your input buffers [addsig]

Heh, go for it, although there's a few small ways you can fudge it it's pretty 'secure' for the most part

I wonder if the IIS development team has this sort of line of thought [addsig]

Today is the last day or term and I was writing a report for a last piece of coursework....exceptionally slowly I figured I'd be better off persevering and finishing it before going to sleep, incase I slept in as usual! Though to be honest, I'm normally not in bed until 3am or something these days anyway, my sleeping pattern has been knocked out of sync lately. [addsig]

In opera the screenshot viewing area looks like this:



Nothing major but it would be nice if they went into a column like they do in IE. [addsig]

I did the same on my report, thought it would be better to stay up and finish than get up early and finish... ended up not sleeping at all

pfft, no stamina from these students... my impressive feat wasn't academic, it was my "24 hour charity pool marathon!", down at the local pub...

the frightening thing was, after drinking/playing pool and darts for 24 hours, we stopped for 5 more hours and played more darts. drank some more too!

THATS STAMINA, KIDS!

Why bother using a </cool> tag if you didn't start off with one in the first place..?

Anyway, just messed around with screenshot uploading code. It should now be a bit better with the file sizes but I haven't tested it- as ever let me know if it goes a bit funky.

24 hour skateboarding / rollerblading - THAT is stamina. Great laugh too - hitting the streets and all the hills at top speed at 4am, in a huge pack of over 20 skaters (the young uns had mostly hit the sack by this time, the youth of today!) is one of the most enjoyable things I've done in the past few years.
