Re: Site suggestions and feedback

it's making  the #postnumber a hyperlink in the header, top right, so it opens to that specific post.....

Just added that. Post # is a link now. Take a look and make sure it's going where it supposed to.

another #win....thanks man!

Re: Site suggestions and feedback

I would suggest making the "music selection" thread a sticky......

the one on the cusa board is epic.....

it's enjoyable to go back over time and review the mood when certain vids are posted or simply getting a one-stop-shop for new material that gets lost along the way in separation......

It's true, that one on the other board has like 89 million views or whatever.

it's easily my fave thread on this or the few nazi boards I frequent.....as an example, I've all the sudden discovered my 'acoustic country vibe'......that happened b/c of that thread and where it lead me.....

pardon the pun, but there's harmony and satisfaction to be found within the library of music....

Re: Site suggestions and feedback

fwiw, I'm still getting unread threads as being read anomalies.....I don't see it as a big deal due to how often I check this site during the day.....

however, it may be something to review by setting up a ghost acct and let a day or two pass to see the before/after....

it would be helpful for those that don't frequently visit and pay attention to non-bold thread titles.....

or maybe I just get too dayum drunk sometimes and don't remember thingys

:cheers: man!

Re: Site suggestions and feedback

you've changed something recently that affects how links are displayed...

e.g. I close browser and reopen and all of yesterday's viewed posts show in bold.....

I haven't clicked on the music thread in a week or so (since you posted) and it shows as 'read'.....

as always, just fyi broheim....

edit: same thing on my Iphone as well.....cpu is a pos win7 fagoo....

I did change something. It's gotten worse, though? That's interesting. I was thinking the change would make the distinction between read / un-read links more accurate. Anyway, I'm (slowly) pursuing this. Thanks for the report.

OK, here's some more analysis on this one:

The change I made was to keep people logged in longer. When you're not logged in, nothing will ever be bold. The whole read / unread tracking system only applies to logged in users, and is driven by what they saw when they were logged in.

So logging people out (i.e. "expiring their sessions") more quickly will definitely fix the problem of inappropriately bold links, but it does so by logging you out and not showing anything in bold.

In the long run, though, keeping people logged in longer will make the system really know more about what they've actually seen. It will also make people log in less.

The music thread should show as "read" (non-bold) if you already saw the last thing posted there.

I'm trying to think outside the box on this one. Personally, I feel like I have to log in too much, and that's a bigger issue than anything being bold / not being bold. Still trying to get a handle on whether my attempt to keep people logged in longer has worked, though...

Hope it works. The read/unread has been my only complaint with the board.

Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for your efforts.

The read / unread indication should be 100% correct now. It's been correct regarding individual posts within each board for some time now, but I still hadn't fixed the main page where the boards are all listed.

I thought I'd made a post about this earlier, but I don't see it. In any case, the read/unread system that I got out-of-the-box was pretty flawed. It was based on trying to maintain a "time of last visit" for each user, and then marking things as "unread" based on when they'd been posted vs. that "time of last visit."

There are a couple of issues with that. Most obviously, just because a user was here at a certain time doesn't mean he'd actually viewed any particular thread.

The new system is based on what you've actually seen. This requires maintaining / querying a lot of data, but I think it's worth it.
