Highly hacked together page...

Ooh, new lines. Pretty!

13:47 / 13.10.06

Oh, they've gone again.

I don't know about lines, but this comment from Sorenson in a Temple thread is fabulous and a really good reason why we shouldn't colour code the updates page:

I am a Temple newbie (by way of the excellent new recently updated thread feature)

18:24 / 13.10.06

There we go. Right there.

Colours would be pretty, but in terms of being a useful feature I think it's much better without them.

(BTW, forgot to say Thank You, Tom in my earlier post. So THANK YOU, TOM, in capitals).

21:07 / 13.10.06

People are already moving around the board a little bit differently so it will be interesting to see what happens to the posting statistics.

Tom, is there any reason the four other fora are not included? I suppose Conversation, Policy and Gathering don't really need it, but Creation could really benefit from having it's threads appear on the newly updated page. Is it possible to include it?

Tom, you’re wonderful. Thank you so much for doing this.

Gathering is already included, isn’t it? The new MB thread is showing, anyway.

I like the fact that this isn't visible from the front page so you can't immediately jump to the most posted to thread, also that the forum a thread is in isn't visible. A few barriers to this sort of functionality is kinda cool as it stops it from deforming the way people post while still being useful *thumbs up* here

Actually the colour being there or not wouldn't have made any difference - it was the topic of the thread that pulled me in. And I wouldn't have seen that the thread existed if it wasn't for this new feature. So yes, I love it!

21:05 / 16.10.06

This is a wee bit off-topic, but could you congratulate Cal on making a site which works properly with a text-only browser. I'm working on updating a site I made a while back and thought I'd test it with Lynx. It looked pretty good, so I thought: "Hmmm, wonder what teh Barb looks like without graphics?" Tried it, and I'm using it as we speak and it's almost perfect (Having the mod names at the top slows things down, but as long as you know you can skip them, it's cool.)
I think I may use this more often. Now for the big test: see if I can sucessfully do a name change form a text-only browser...
yay Cal.

07:38 / 17.10.06

I'll thank Cal again for making a backend that's powerful enough to do fresh design work against, but I'm afraid the front end stuff is all my fault.

08:36 / 17.10.06

Well, yay you as well.

pointless & uncalled for

09:57 / 17.10.06

Can I be picky and ask that if Music can be added to this as well?

14:53 / 17.10.06

Oh! Is music not in there?

17:24 / 17.10.06

Oops - I got music and the gathering confused and have switched them around.

11:15 / 18.10.06

I asked earlier if we can we please have the Creation in? It's not the same as the Gathering or Conversation. It could really do with a boost, too.

I dig the recent thread feature!
I was a-reading a temple post because of it and someone mentioned the fortune cookie aspect of the board. I kind of like the idea of using what ever thread floats to the top (or third or fifth) place of the recent thread list as a form of biblomancy.

Go to recent threads! Ask a question and click a random thread!

thanks again for making the board shiny!

20:05 / 20.10.06

Dear Tom,

Could you please, please answer my question about Creation? I've asked it twice now, it's a direct question to you, no-one else can answer it or implement it, but you seem to overlook answering me in every visit you make to the board.

I'd really like to know if Creation could be included in the recently updated threads page, and if not, why not? Creation could really benefit from the extra traffic this page seems to be generating.

I'm sorry to keep repeating myself, but I don't appear to be being heard.

Yours hopefully

Lula.

11:21 / 21.10.06

I agree with Lula. Creation could do with being added.

I've generally been trying to avoid putting in the sort of meta-fora like Conversation, Policy, Gathering and—I thought initially—the Creation, because they seemed to be a different kind of thread. Is it general agreement that people would prefer Creation in there? If so, I'll do it straightaway.

Tryphena Absent

20:48 / 21.10.06

The Creation really isn't a meta-forum in the way that Policy and Gathering are. I think it probably should be included!

20:57 / 21.10.06

I'd say include Creation- I, too, wouldn't class it as such a meta-forum, and it could do with the extra exposure.

22:45 / 21.10.06

Oh yes please Tom, I do think Creation is a little different to the others.

Thank you!

13:09 / 22.10.06

Thanks Tom.

01:23 / 31.10.06

Um.... has creation been added yet?

Only I can't find its most recently bumped thread within the first few pages.

01:28 / 31.10.06

Also, when I'm on the first page of the recently updated threads, it tells me at the bottom of the screen that there's about 472 other pages.

If I skip to the last page, it's completely blank.

From the bottom of the page there it only allows me to access page one again, and if I do that it now tells me there are 25 pages.

Going to page 25 takes me waaaaay back to 2001 in the archives, which is, I presume, the last page as it's meant to be.
