Eileen--you hypothesized in another thread that perhaps you'd "grown up", but the following replies from you:<br /><br /><<<<No. It's perfect the way it is. Red would draw too much<br /><<<<attention to it.<br /><br />and...<br /><br /><<<<NO! <br /><br /><br />sound like they're from a four year old snippy girl. As was the case several months ago, I've taken a fair bit of time and energy (both in short supply for me) to closely analyze a program which I don't even use, and your responses on issues where you disagree have been undistilled flame bait. This time I won't take the bait.<br /><br />Eileen, you don't have to agree with me...in fact, you can emphatically disagree! But your tone would surely discourage those more sensitive than me from making the effort to to help brainstorm this software. Your tone says "I vote no, so [censored] off", and it says it with considerable edge, too. You are rudely swatting opinions, and I'd suggest that this is the precise opposite of the proper role of a "moderator".<br /><br />I'll take your reply off the radio. You get the last word.<br /><br />Jim Leff<br /><br />chowhound.com<br />For Those Who Live to Eat

That's fair. <br />If Chow ever actually starts using w3t, he can even color it red. []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/]<br /><br />[]http://www.wopr.com/w3tuserpics/Eileen-sig.gif[/]

Hehe, that's me - "a four year old snippy girl"!<br /><br />I humbly apologise for offending sensitivities. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />[]http://www.wopr.com/w3tuserpics/Eileen-sig.gif[/]

Scream,<br /><br />You might consider putting a "Self Search" as a link in the new Control Panel. I agree, you do not want to try to include something like this very useful []/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/] feature in the new panel.<br /><br />This "Self Search" could even become a main link at the top of the screen, along with Main Index, Search, etc., and would bring up a page with all a poster's posts, and any posts addressed to the poster, in reverse chronological order.<br /><br />Derek<br /><br />

since maybe no one brought this up, couple of suggestions for control panel:<br />1. For thread reminders and favorite thread, maybe a check box for delete this thread, instead of the remove icon. i have already wanted to remove two or more threads from both.<br /><br />2. It would also work out well if the icons in the Main Configuration table were clickable. I tried clicking on them and was fooled and then had to move my mouse all the way to the right. and by the time i got there i didn't wnat to change anything. and that edit icon should be clickable too.<br /><br />3. When the new version comes out i plan on doing a couple of things. Making a Favforum.php so that users will just hav eto go to that to show only there fav forums. I don't care that people will miss oher posts. when i go to forums these days i only go to a specific forum. <br />maybe only allow the user to do that after a certain amount of posts. really i would want to split up the control panel and allow a page that a user could go to.<br /><br />4. the image uses for remove does not represent remove, i thnk a trash can would better represent that. <br /><br />5. Friends Online, maybe it should show everyone from your adress book and show an online icon/text. but i guess if your adress book is big it could cause a problem. i could see me wanting to pm someone in my adress book, but having to click a couple of times to get there would suck. ?? i don't know.<br /><br />6. Just an idea. maybe some text about why you wanted a reminder for that thread. i wanted to talk about how eileens point about this was a good idea.<br /><br />7. Report this post to a moderator should maybe include some text like, your are reporting this post as Username. and a text box as to why you are reporting this post. it is againts my religion to see the word brooh ha ha, and i was wondering if you can censor it for me?<br /><br />my list of w3t improvements are long.<br /><br /><br />[:red]--------------</font color=red><br />http://extremeforums.org<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by poil on 04/11/01 09:49 AM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

I wish there was an option to include a list of all new posts in the favorite forums list (e.g. via preferences to include it or not). I would love to have just that "Control Panel" as one central place, where I can immediately see which new threads or replies there are in my favorite forums, and not just how many. <br /><br />Gerrit<br />SpiritBoard<br />http://www.channeling.net
