Recap of New Features

[Muhammad]

Since it returns partials, you would have to do two searches for a state location, since the state is a user-entered field and half use NY, for example, while half use New York. And the partial means if the city name has "ny" in it, that will return as well with "ny" as the search term.

We'll see what we can do to return "ny" as an only work in a search ... but it probably won't get attention today. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

[Muhammad]

Well, I'm sure we'll come up with something eventually. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Another thing I forgot to mention is the problemw ith quotes in profile fields has been fixed, so if you enter, for example, <font color=purple>60" mid-mower</font color=purple> in your attachments field, it will be there next time you check, rather than just <font color=purple>60</font color=purple> as in the past.

Muhammad - Why isn't the attachments field sized like the bio field, so that it's as big as its size limitation allows?

 

[Muhammad]

Changed. Along with hobbies.

Muhammad,

I really do like the new setup. I find the vlink of the grey doesn't make the forum names jump out like they use too. This is obviously my opinion, I just wanted to share.

I LOVE this site and continue to support that linux /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Muhammad - Thanks! I noticed, though, that it doesn't say how many characters it's limited to, like the Hobbies and Bio fields do. Unfortunately, I assumed that meant you could fill up the box, so I expanded what was there and added the implements I didn't have space to list before, then submitted it all, and it all got chopped off again. I guess it's limited to 200 characters? Would this be hard to expand to 300 or 400?

Back to the question of showing the message number that I mentioned earlier: How hard would it be to have the link to the message being replied to bring up only that message in a new window, instead of the whole thread in Threaded Mode. When I use that link, I inevitably just want to see the specific message that was being responded to, not the whole thread. Does that make any sense?

 

[Muhammad]

Yes, it makes sense ... but it will take a little more time to do it "right" ... with a javascript popup with limited graphical content ... just the message, really, so you wouldn't have to wait so long for the header, and all that stuff. But, we'll need to make a new script for that, and then add the javascript, etc. I'd rather do it right when we have the chance than just add message numbers ... since when we went with message numbers, it wasn't any easier to follow than it is now.

 

[MChalkley]

Muhammad - Once again, thanks!

One more question for tonight, then I'll shut up (temporarily). /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

With the new review mechanism, is it possible to update a review once you've got more hours/experience with something? Or do you have to post an entirely new review?
