Minor Upgrade to Forum (April 07)

MathsIsFun · 2007-04-11 13:47:45

Just security enhancements and other tidy ups. Hopefully nothing anyone will notice. Report problems here.

U7109 · 2007-04-11 17:59:26

Well... I decided to sign out for a tiny bit, and I decided to start a new account called Deep Grey. When I was logged onto the Deep Grey account, I couldn't see the Members Only part of the forum! Is it now only avalible to any members above the rank of novice?

MathsIsFun · 2007-04-11 18:10:56

No ... does anyone else have this problem?

espeon · 2007-04-12 01:32:04

I don't know. Maybe I should log in as a guest. Brb

Edit:Yes it does get rid of the members only. It shows only the suggestions and comments but not the members only part in the last forum.

Well, yes, being a guest would get rid of the Member's Only bit. Because you're not logged in as a member.

Any member should be able to see Member's Only though, no matter how many posts they have.

U7109 · 2007-04-12 13:18:56

But when I was on my new account, I didn't see it!

JaneFairfax · 2007-04-12 23:08:48

Is the indicator on the bottom left of each post (under the users avatar) that tells you whether the user is online or offline one of the new upgrade features?

MathsIsFun · 2007-04-12 23:37:13

No, it was there before. The upgrade was mostly minor security stuff. I (and many others) are still waiting for the next major release of the forum software (1.3).

JaneFairfax · 2007-04-13 00:23:30

It was there before? Why didnt I notice it there before?

Well, Im fairly happy with the forum capabilities as they are now, but Ill wait and find out what even better features the next release will bring.

Just for fun, what features could you imagine?

JaneFairfax · 2007-04-13 10:26:02

Well, an Ignore Post and/or Ignore Thread feature would certainly be handy. I just select the posts/threads I dont like, press a button, and hey presto! I never have to see them again!

Better still, have an Ignore Poster feature

Zhylliolom · 2007-04-13 11:24:23

Earlier we discussed subforums, for forums such as the exercises, which would help organize them a little. Is this a possibility yet?

MathsIsFun · 2007-04-13 11:42:57

Jane: maybe if you could choose which forums you see/don't see? Just stargazing here.

Zhy: yes, that would be nice, I am not sure if 1.3 will support that, but I hope so.

JaneFairfax · 2007-04-13 12:39:06

I dont mind seeing all the forums I am allowed to see. Just not the spam posts/threads Im not interested in.

(BTW, the 100-character rule for postcount isnt reducing spam that much, is it? The number of useless posts seems to be the same as before, just that were getting 100-character ones instead of 3-character ones.)

Yep, we probably need to make it stricter. I suggested 250 characters or more in another thread.

I have not been experiencing any forum difficulties, by the way.

Remember, a while ago we discussed having 'karma'? I think that's a good thing to add, if possible.

Maybe a feature that allowed you to have a list of friends who are members on this forum.

By the way, nice avatar MathsIsFun! What kind of dog is it?

MathsIsFun · 2007-04-13 23:01:24

A Belgian Shepherd! Very smart and loyal.
