ydoaPs Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 nothing. all a quote is is [ QUOTE=... ]...[ /quote ] without the spaces. WooHoo, it's Friday!. you don't actually HAVE to say it to be quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 True, a quote is content of the post in which it appears. The tags are just there to style the quoted text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J'Dona Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 SFN has one of the best layouts of any forum I've ever used, so I'd have to vote for the first option. However, there's one suggestion I might make, just to add to the conversation. A percentage tally for posts in different sections would be interesting (if possible and not difficult to code), which would be a chart in their profile with numbers of posts in each forum, perhaps with a percentage score beside it. Someone who made 3 posts in General Discussion, 2 posts in Physics (probably best to count posts in the science sub-forums into their main forum), 2 posts in Politics, and 1 post in Philosophy & Religion would have a chart like so: General Discussion - 3 posts (37.5%) Physics - 2 posts (25%) Politics - 2 posts (25%) Philosophy & Religion - 1 post (12.5%) the purpose being that people would know which sections others post in the most, which might be helpful to some or just interesting to see.

noz92 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 What is latex? I mean besides the rubbery substance. Latex is a rubbery substance. LaTeX is what we use to write equations. LaTeX is pronounced latech, because the X is actually the Greek capital letter chi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I think the general layout is amazing, this is obviously quite a popular view, however there are always little tiny things that are nice little extras. for example J'Dona's post #28 would be very interesting. in general statistics and numbers tend to make good interesting extras...

blike Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 How many of you guys like the 'active topics' box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severian Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I think the categories need clarification. We often see posts on the same topic in different categories, just because the poster hasn't checked every category before posting and isn't sure which category the post belongs to. Otherwise, it is great as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDino Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 How about a wysigwyg editor for the quick replie box instead of a textarea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 How many of you guys like the 'active topics' box? what do you mean by that? the 'new post' button is wicked, but what do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDino Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I think he means the "Newest Posts" thing on the front page... I agree with blike, It's a pretty cool thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artorius Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I think SFN setup overall is excellent.If anything could improve it...it would be to auto direct you to the last post in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Errr... it does. Click the little arrow after the last poster's name in any forum/search overview, or the "View first unread" link at the top-left of any thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed84c Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 also it might be nice that when it says looking at user profile on the active users list to say whos profile. But that might be a bit complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 What? Which active users list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed84c Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/online.php? For those of us who like to watch people............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 So when you click on a person to see their profile, you want it to display who? It already does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed84c Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 No, when it says under what there doing e.g. Viewing Index Science Forums and Debate , sometimes it says 'Viewing User Profile' it might be nice for it to say whos user profile they are viewing, if you see what i mean. The advantage of which, would be that if somebody had noticed something on somebodies profile, then people watching would be alerted, and who could also check it out.

5614 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 yeah, i sometimes go onto the who's online list and suprisingly there's normally at least one person 'viewing user profile' and you often wonder who's they are looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Oh I see. That would be relatively simple-it can already do threads, why not profiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
