Today's Active Topics changes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 11-19-2003, 11:57 AM

I've changed the TODAY'S ACTIVE TOPICS page to redirect you to the last post of the topic. This should save you the time of having to click the last page and then scroll down to the bottom. Enjoy!

Hilde Bracegirdle · 11-19-2003, 12:10 PM

Many, many thanks! Very much appreciated!

Aethelwine · 11-19-2003, 12:22 PM

I agree, thank you very much, mr. Barrow Wight.

Namarie,

Aethelwine.

And he said "Let them be redirected" and they were. And he was glad.

Works for me, thanks for making our posting/reading a little bit better.

Very impressive. (And better for bandwidth?) Kudos to the BW, hacker extraordinaire...

***Mister Underhill*** · 11-19-2003, 07:22 PM

We've been busy beavers today. Now the links on the forum's main page should take you to the last post in the thread as well.

Please report any kinks (in the operation of the newly hacked board, that is [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])!

All I can say is Bless you BW, and bless you too, Mr. Underhill and all who helped with those very useful tweaks! It does save a lot of time on my tin can and string version of DSL (I live so far out in the country that the regular Bell telephone and internet services do not serve me and probably never will!)

Cheers and thanks!

Great work, both of you! I'm having one problem now - the sticky threads at the top of each forum are showing as the most recent posts on the forum main page. For example, on the Gondor forum, 'Ecthelion's Tower' is displayed, the green button is lit, but there are no new posts on that forum. Is everyone seeing the forum main page that way?

Edit: hmmm, looking once more, it appears that the problem has been solved on all fora except for Gondor... Does that mean we only need a new post there to get it back to normal again? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

That has to do with the way sticky threads are done on our forum, Esty. Once a new topic is replied to, the sticky one should disappear from the main page's recent link (same thing's on the archive, too).

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-20-2003, 03:35 AM

Thanks, Sharkey - then all I have to do is convince someone to post on Gondor, right? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Hey, don't look at me. I deleted my last 7th Star post because of the deafening silence that followed it.
