Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 I couldn't figure out how to do this the last time I checked. I'll do some searching and see what I can find.
Spyman Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 infinitesoliduk has been banned as yet another sockpuppet of a previously banned user. Moltensphereearth, too. Instead of saying "previously banned user" I think it would be nice if the name of the first banned account by this person was showed. 2
Spyman Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I think the new "Modnotes" are great but when quoting a post with one it doesn't look very good, would it be possible to preserve the look inside a quote?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 Hm. We intentionally restricted their use so that other members cannot use modnotes, meaning that quoted modnotes won't work. I don't think there's a way to keep the restriction in place while allowing them to appear in quotes.
Mr Skeptic Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Yeah, especially if we then have to worry about edited quotes.

Well, thats to bad, but we have to live with it then because fake modnotes would not be good.
swansont Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Instead of saying "previously banned user" I think it would be nice if the name of the first banned account by this person was showed. My bad, since I've logged most of them. It's not always easy to keep them straight, because repeat offenders are usually serial repeat offenders. edit: updated as best I could. In a reasonable fraction of instances, the sockpuppet is for the user who had just been banned. 1
Doc. Josh Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 possibly add a page to record logs members may be keeping at the time. Like a collection of data so others can follow and imput.
TonyMcC Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Some people seem to feel that showing approval or disapproval through the "+" "-" facility is quite important. Perhaps there could be 3 buttons "approve","disapprove", "neutral". It could be arranged that the "reply" button would not operate unless one of the first three buttons had first been selected.

Perhaps there could be 3 buttons "approve","disapprove", "neutral". It could be arranged that the "reply" button would not operate unless one of the first three buttons had first been selected. What if I disagree with the poster but still thinks the question/argument was good? If voting an "approve", "disapprove" or "neutral" standpoint is demanded before I can post a reply, it is very possible that I will skip replying to a lot of posts... Secondly, you would have gotten a negative reputation point by me for above post in such case which I don't think you deserve as person. All reputation points your posts accumulate are also reflected on you as a person and I don't value people negative because they don't agree with me. ---------- What I would like was the ability to change a vote, like if I misclick and vote on the above or below poster to what I wanted to vote, then that post/person gets an unfair vote that I can't easily undo.
Realitycheck Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 It looks like you made some change to the site features today that probably isn't going to work out so well for me, just giving you a heads up. On my phone, using the IP feature has always worked, yet is too condensed to really see anything efficiently. The SFN Blue which had been working best, not sure, had a screen that was condensed into the rl margins properly until this afternoon, when it started requiring scrolling far from left to right to see the content. I'm not sure exactly what the basic SFN screen does on mobile, but it's no better.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 What is "the IP feature" that worked? The IP.Mobile skin? I haven't made any changes to themes lately, so I'm not sure what would cause a change.
Realitycheck Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) The IP skin doesn't actually work out to be the preferred layout. For some reason, my unit just started laying out the other screens differently. It's no big deal. It's just like a matter of optimization, possibly associated with an update on my end. For some reason, it was showing me all of the topics in a single column, which was kind of convenient, but now it is displaying everything how it was intended to be shown, no big deal.

michel123456 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Something strange today. I posted a reply into an old thread. my reply appears in the Today's posts list, but not in "my content" list. Even not after refreshing. ---------- edit. This post appears correctly. ????????? Edited June 17, 2011 by michel123456
michel123456 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Again: I posted in an old thread (different responses to fermi paradox) but it does not appear under My Content. I guess the My Content list contains only fresh ones. Can this be solved in some manner? thanks
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 I think My Content may limit itself to threads started in the last year, even if you've posted in them more recently. I don't know that I can change this easily, unfortunately.
swansont Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I think My Content may limit itself to threads started in the last year, even if you've posted in them more recently. I don't know that I can change this easily, unfortunately. Either that or it limits itself to searching posts made/threads started under the new software. I have a vague recollection of noticing this when we switched.
michel123456 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Isn'it possible to insert manually a thread into My content?
michel123456 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Proposition: Is it possible in the thread list to put the creation date of a thread (next to or below the "started by"). It would be informative.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 It might be, yes. I'll think about how to do that when we upgrade to the newest version of the forum software and adjust our style and layout.
michel123456 Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Hey here I am again. So i learned you are getting to upgrade the Forum. That's great. Proposal: I would like to downlad entire threads. Would that be possible? I'd like to keep conversations on my hard disk, even maybe on hardcopy. If threads could be converted to some format like Word or PDF, that would be great. And that would be a première I think. Argh, this thread disappeared from "My content " list. It is very annoying...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 I spent some time trying to find an addon or extension that would add this feature (since it seems like it would be popularly requested), but I can't seem to find one. There's just not an option to view all posts in a single topic, for some reason. I'll do a bit of digging.
