What is 'This'?

Hawkdude12 · 5/12/12 1:23 PM

Nope. If you did, you could have quick forum links though. To minecraft, general ect.

I agree that it's made people lazy, but it's also a really useful tool.

Meh.

Kurathedog · 5/12/12 6:13 PM

It is very useful, no. I use it to keep track of everything

What about changing it to "latest topics"?

Hawkdude12 · 6/02/12 2:55 PM

Hmm, means that one topic doesn't take up the entire bar, sounds good. Perhaps you should have something that boldens them if they have recently had a post aswell

I like the idea.
Shift most recent topics onto the top.
If one thread is super active and always on top, there should be a way to tell if it has updated. (Like Hawk's bolded)
It might be good enough for it to just have the most recent poster. Usually that should be good enough to tell if the thread updated (Unless you are following a dialogue between two people).

I wrote some quick, nasty, dirty PHP, MySQL, and CSS, but it's functional (I bet anyone on the forums loved that I was modifying the code live).

Basically, I'm pulling all of the new posts and doing a duplicate check based on post subject / title. Only the newest post for each topic is taken.

To limit database queries, I am only checking the latest fifty posts.

So, if all fifty latest posts are in the same topic, you will only see one item in the list.

Kind of gross looking, but the alternative requires more processing time (pulling a ton and cutting off at a certain point).

Basing it off of a topic query is feasible, but then you end up losing the conversation stream feel.

Who wants to see old topics? I had that style up for a few seconds (less code for it), but I thought it wasn't as fun.

Suggestions:
More spacing. Currently the title is jammed against the time.
Perhaps get rid of the Today. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out that just a time means today. Allows for a bit more room.
Looks good.

Also, shan, I did a quick swappero in the hard coded strings.

The old "Xfire" profile field is now "Skype".

So, users can slap their skype names onto their accounts.

One of these days I will add a button or something...

Wow, you are fast. I guess it isn't hard once you have the code already in front of you.
Epic admin is epic.

Alright, I fixed the spacing. Yeah, good suggestion on only keeping the time. The issue is that, if someone hasn't posted for a day or so, then the times aren't particularly helpful. But, I hope that won't be an issue...

These files really are such a mess, one of these days I'll start again.

Shandrew82 · 6/02/12 11:03 PM

this will take a bit of getting used to, but its quite nice. no more solid wall of "server down by xx"

Schematix · 6/02/12 11:18 PM

It took me a while to figure out what was going on. I was like, why are none of these posts showing up in the feed? >_<

Edit: This is entirely appropriate for this situation. tongue
