one bug and one request:
bug: it seems that the icon that shows normal, posted in, hot and hot&posted in threads go back to the old style "folder" when the hot&posted in comes up. so far i have two red folders along all the envelopes... request: dig up those old forum avatars that was either on shadowrun.com or posted here in the forum at some point. i want the one that had the "acme magic circle paint" can! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) other then that, the forum is working for me, colors and all... |

Not sure if this has already been brought up, I really dislike the fact that I can't hit a forum and see which posts are new. That was how I mainly viewed the old layout, a couple times a day, I'd look in a forum and view new posts.
Now, the new posts since last visit is multiple pages long (because it covers all forums) and when I view just one forum, I can't tell which threads have new posts and which ones don't. It really sucks. |

I think if you "Mark all posts as read" (green bar, righthand side of each forum section, click the "options" pulldown menu), that issue might reslove, though not for today's new posts. |

I don't really see the problem. When you use the 'View New Posts' feature, each post has its respective forum listed right next to it. It isn't all that hard to skim down and click the links of the threads you are interested in, and skip over those that hold no relevance for you.

We must be talking about two different things. I am referring more to a 'delete post' feature (and I sure don't recall that from the last boards). What are you talking about, and why can't it be duplicated by merely closing the window or clicking another link (instead of Post)?

I wish I had a screen shot of the old format to look at. |

You are correct. There was a Cancel Post button on the post screen that would allow you to return back to the topic without adding your reply. It was not included in this skin and regrettably is a low priority as there is a work around (<back> button).

I guess I never noticed it, as I normally just use the Back button (or Backspace) if I decide not to post my reply. Is there really a need for this type of thing? |

[ Spoiler ] Answer: Yes. An interesting note though, you can't delete a post. You can edit it so it says something little like 'this post has been deleted', but once it's there that you put in a post, it seems like removing it would require throwing its simulacrum into a volcano or something.

I'd like to see a change of icons as well! |

QUOTE (Fortune @ Feb 6 2008, 12:52 AM) Definitely much rejoicing. Thanks Redjack (and whoever else is hard at work behind the scenes). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That would mostly be the rest of us poking RJ for things that bug us, without a word of thanks mind you. And when he complains, with pitiful little whines about things like "sleep" and "family", Adam taunts him with new free books. But these are books much like the carrot on the stick, that he never gets, but keeps working for. And when he asks for help, we telll him that he's doing a great job, and we don't want to get in his way. We also have a loyal DROP bear conspirator near where he lives, with a big stick, incase he tries to get desperate and disconnect his computer or something. So yeah, the rest of us are workinghard too. We got this 'forced slave labor' thing down pretty well I think. And to answer the question about fully deleting a post, that isn't a feature a general user (or even a colonel) can do. But the mods are happy to, so you can PM any of us any time. I generally delete any posts with content that is duplicated or say something like "oops" or "double post" as I wander the boards. And some of Fortune's posts here and there.

I am very impressed with Fist's management skills. He's clearly an unsung hero here and should be rewarded. Do we have any more books to give away? Redjack's? Go ahead and send Fist that one.
