Wanna try out some of the new stuff for the next version? You can go to the dev site. A few of the features don't work yet, notify moderator, but this will give everyone a chance to take a look at the placement of the new icons and the various functionality.<br /><br />Feedback would be appreciated, but please no bug reports at this time because this is still under development and hasn't been tested thoroughly.<br /><br />-------------------<br />Scream<br />WWWThreads

So you know, this could be closed at any time as there will be times I'm making a modification to the code and I can't have anyone in there browsing around[]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/]. So, if it's closed when you try, just try again later and maybe you'll get lucky[]/w3timages/icons/crazy.gif[/].<br /><br />-------------------<br />Scream<br />WWWThreads

Add a link just under the picture of user for them to upload their pic and back to the same script when done. So it'll be very easy for them to change anytime and view it instantly.<br /><br />

I dont like the "Favorite Board!" & "Subscribe/Unsubscribe to Board" at showflat, I think the only place for it is at postlist, I subscribed thinking I was doing so to the thread... its too missleading at showflat (and though I havent visited, if at showthreaded), it should only be at showflat.<br /><br />By the way, looking great.<br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com

Looks great thus far Scream.<br /><br />Just a couple things.<br /><br />Print thread and print post icons should be different.....But I'm sure you're aware of that already. If I had access to some icons I would send some to you.<br /><br />At the bottom of posts it may be a good idea to use a horizontal rule (size 1) to separate the added icons from the post a tad. I'm not really sure this would look better without being able to try it either way tho.<br /><br />The Control Panel idea is really good. Kinda puts everything in one place. Neatly organized too. One question about that though.....When a user first signs up where will the welcoming message be displayed? [:red]Could a new SysAdmin box be displayed at the top of the Control Panel if there are Admin messages?</font color=red> Somewhere where it can't be ignored? It may be easier to see for newbies......If not a special SysAdmin message box then how about a flashing icon to draw attention to the welcoming message.<br /><br />I can't wait to get a hold of this version. It's got most everything I need in a BB.<br /><br />There are three more features I'd like to see and hope you include as well:<br /><br />The login in on main page hack, notify moderators of new posts hack and go to main page if no messages.<br /><br />The notify moderators is good because it helps the boards to be more responsive in a question/answer type forum like I have at oldhouseforums.net.<br /><br />Great job Scream!<br /><br /><pre>Brew<br />CustomShowCars.com<br /></pre><p><br />PS...The BOZO hack would be really cool too! []/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/]<br /><br />Update.....<br /><br />In "Print This Post" it may be a good idea to leave out user pics in the left column. It would help speed up printing a bit and I doubt anyone would really *want* to have that graphic there anyway.

The need for diferent icons for printing thread or post did seem so obviouss to me, but anyway, I guess it wouldnt hurt. Since I had my image program open anyway here is a suggested icon for "Print Thread": []http://www.wwwthreads.com/files/10-33425-printthread.gif[/]<br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com

It looks fantastic. Can't wait!<br />I'd also like the little row of post icons to be separated off - the way the message header is.<br /><br />[]http://www.wopr.com/w3tuserpics/Eileen-sig.gif[/]

Agreed - postlist only.<br /><br />[]http://www.wopr.com/w3tuserpics/Eileen-sig.gif[/]

>>The login in on main page hack, notify moderators of new posts hack and go to main page if no messages.<br /><br />Yes. These are long overdue.<br /><br />[]http://www.wopr.com/w3tuserpics/Eileen-sig.gif[/]

Looks great!<br /><br />I think this would be a good time to add Eileen's "Add icons to posts" (not the real name I guess. That box that lets you add smiles and so) hack. Seems to me the latest changes are focused to making the board more user friendly and that's a feature that makes them usable (i have been here for a long time and I only remember how to add a []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/] ...)<br /><br />

A lot of people are probably going to hate this but...what do you think of displaying that screen that comes after you add a thread to favorites or remind me (for example) in a small pop up screen that you can then close, so you dont have to leave the thread after doing that?<br /><br />Seems to me that that message (and having to leave the thread) can be somewhat tiring and a waste of time, it is informative the first times that you do it only....<br /><br />Also, I always have a lot of screens open at the same time, and I usually click on one and go to the other (while I wait for it to load). The first time I tried add to favorite I missed the confirmation screen, because it returns to the thread after a few seconds...do you think this can confuse some users?<br /><br />

The guys over at Woody's Lounge love the 1-click TagPanel and are always making suggestions for new additions. It's now implemented as two popups so you can leave it up and keep using it instead of having it reload every time.<br /><br />[]http://www.wopr.com/w3tuserpics/Eileen-sig.gif[/]

Great work! Everything is said. What can I add? Maybe some Eileen's hacks I wish I see implemented: Context Sensitive Help, Language Switcher, PostOnly-ReplyOnly and Mark All Read.<br /><br />

What about to move the icons to the left side under the userpic etc.<br />For example:<br />http://www.plauderforum.com/p1.gif<br /><br />Best greetings from Germany

I can't see the "Post Format" option in the control pannel. Is that intentional? If so, how can I choose my preferred display: "Post headers on top"?<br /><br />

The main reason stuff like this has not been added is when last discussed everyone agreed that javascript should stay out of the front end interface for the main distribution. Added js to the admin section isn't too bad because you have a limited number of admins and moderators so javascript problems will be minimal, but for the front end there would be alot of user problems ending up being a support nightmare[]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/].<br /><br />-------------------<br />Scream<br />WWWThreads

Really too bad! I presume it's too late to come with other arguments.<br /><br />I'll try to hack the scripts to keep this feature. If I can't do it for some reasons, w3t 5.3 will be my last update :-( (hope not)<br /><br />

i don't think popus are a good idea, i myself don't like popup anything and quickly close them no matter where i am at. i am confortable with the way that it shows the confirmation screen and all.<br /><br />[:red]--------------</font color=red><br />http://extremeforums.org

Don't throw out the whole idea of popups just because they have been so abusively exploited. In the right place they can be extremely useful to keep the focus on the main page and save a lot of of "to-and-fro".<br /><br />[]http://www.wopr.com/w3tuserpics/Eileen-sig.gif[/]
