Recap of New Features

Muhammad
I like it. I do have two questions though. Would it be possible to add a login window on the home page? This would save two steps when logging in. Also, do you have plans to add the read post feature?

What's that? /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

As for the home page login ... it was causing some problems with some of the new code, so we removed it... we'll probably look at adding it again at some point, though.

 

[Muhammad]

We'll be adding an "add an update to this review" feature, in time.

Muhammad,

Initially I was lost, but now that I wandered around I found the forum to be even better than before...

The one thing that I really would like to see is the "Polling" function. Lots of times we users would like to get mass opinions on simple yes - no questions...

For example:

Are you an NRA Member? Yes __ No __

If it doesn't suck up too much server space, I think it would be a great addition.

Muhammad, new site looks great.
One minor issue which may be related to my rather obscure web browsers - in searching user profiles, partial matches are not returned. What I type is what is searched for. For example, searching for Quebec returns no results. Searching for Quebec, Canada returns 1 result (me). I'm using Konqueror on Mandrake 8.1. (the same thing happens with Galeon and Mozilla). Do not rule out the possibility that I am doing something dumb.

 

[Muhammad]

No, we're still tweaking how the search works, so it's not a problem on your end. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif For a partial match, put your terms indide asterisks ... for Quebec, enter <font color=blue>*quebec*</font color=blue> ... but remember that this will probably change in the coming days.

Muhammad -- On the user list, would it be possible to use letters instead of numbers...so if I was looking for Harv (not picking on you, old buddy, just an example) I could click on H instead of trying to guess which number he fell under..?

[Muhammad]

The user list is ordered alphabetically by default ... but some users decided to use numbers so they show up at the top. Best way is to search since harv would probably be a few dozen pages in on the normal view.

What's that?

I might have called it the wrong thing. What ever you would call a button or right click or something that would take away the (new) and make it look as though you've already read a topic or post without having to open it. When this was discussed earlier I thought something like that was a go. Maybe I just read in something that wasn't there.
