What do people think of the default option to show a popup messagebox when you receive a new personal message on the forum?

I'd like to turn it off, but it didn't happen often enough yet to dive into my profile setting to find that setting

Seems enabled by default

Forum loads quickly for me. And except the white theme, I think I like the new change. Not sure about the quirks for now.

Good to see things changing here.

Perhaps a little icon overlay on the thread icon on the left, like a little "reply arrow"

ok let me look into it.

I was thinking about something like vs .

I've tweaked the search function a little bit -- I think i fixed a bug where it was returning less results than it should.  And I also added an option to bypass the search index on the advanced search form -- this will result in a slower and more thorough search for partial word matches, and is able to search for words less than 4 characters.  Normal indexed searching is appropriate for most searches, but you now have an option if you can't find something with a default search.

well one way it could be done very easily and safely is this:
i could add a profile field to each users profile, where they could write custom BBC code (which would include the ability to use url links),
and then the forum would display that text at the top (bottom) of the forum pages FOR THAT USER ONLY.

so basically a way of letting users add their own custom links/text. near the built-in forum menu -- that would affect them only.

Yes, this is the sort of thing I had in mind -- but may be it's premature.  Was curious about the difficulty of implementing such a thing and what the computational costs might end up being.  Of course, this is all very vague

of course this is really not any different than users using their own greasemonkey scripts, just a bit easier -- but much less flexible.

It seems possible that for the share buttons (some are iframes?) by the time Greasemonkey gets to remove the related nodes, it may be "too late" in the sense that one's info might have leaked to certain sites.  Not certain -- may be someone else knows better?

Appreciate it -- thanks

Ps, with the info board up top right next to "Forum Home", it's def saving me a lot of scrolling!

Yes Dr. Andus,

what do you mean by 'info board'? --
I presume it's not what mouser calls the 'info-center' -- the active threads etc, but cant figure out what it might be...

EDIT// I presume you mean the boards - were they much further down in the past?

Maybe he meant the "Info Center":

This is a great feature, maybe it should be explained someplace prominent, so less frequent or new members also realise that it is possible to move the Info Center to the top by going to: Profile > Forum Profile > and adding "-topinfocenter" in the Custom options box:

Yes, you nailed it Dr Andus, that's exactly what I meant - I missed the right word for it. (But I really thought it had a different name in the old version!)

And yes, it's not at all obvious to newcomers that a custom line in their profile can move it!

please delete - I keep clicking 'quote' instead of 'modify'
(were they in opposite location in the old forum?)

Not sure, but I've had a similar problem.  I've just been fortunate to catch mine before posting.

Personally, I think the Custom Options section should be moved under Look and Layout since that's what those options are affecting.

good idea, will do.

Any opinions on this?  Looking at DC's certificate, I think I also see SHA-256 so may be it's not a problem.

Nope: (not SHA-256) so, Yes, it's a minor problem for Chrome and Firefox(based) browsers.



You may be looking at an Avast (or other antivirus product) inserted certificate
