A minor forum mod...

Post by FORDification »

I changed how the forum directs your browser after you make, reply or edit a post. Prior to this mod, whenever you made a post you were then directed to a page (for a few seconds) that looked like this (in the subSilver template):

Image

Now when you finish making a post, you are automatically forwarded to that post, without the delay. This mod works in all templates.

I like it! :)
One other possible mod: Is there a way prevent posts from being automatically marked as 'read' when signing off the site? Sometimes I am not able to read all the posts before I have to leave for some reason, or accidentally close the browser :oops: , or the computer locks up :x .
Then when I get signed on again, all the topics are marked as read, and I have to try and figure out which ones I actually HAVE read.

I asked about that once before, and at the time, Keith said there was no way around it. Might be different now if there are updates to the software that changed things, though.

Ratfink, I was thinking about you when I read the paper this morning:
