The new thread summary/behavior is stinky

[senocular]

Figured out it was a display mode option

It was kind of annoying at first having those links take up all that space at the top of every thread, but I got past that. Now, what's worse is that when you go to a post, it shows only that post or that post and its replies. I want to see the thread in its entirety. This is espeically annoying after posting a new reply and being brought back to the thread (to see only my post) and moreso when using the goto last post feature from the forum listing. I want to hit the main thread and see its last post, not show only the last post - there still may be others above it I havent read yet. :(

Can this feature be vetoed?

[senocular]

and how replies arent listed chronological because of their own threads from the replied (so newest posts arent always at the bottom)

[farafiro]

what r u talking about?? the view of the thread??
if so, you can change this from the display mode button

[mmm..pi..3.14..]

yeah, I too am confused as to what you mean? When I press the arrow button to go to the first new post it goes to the newest post in the thread. If there were newer posts that I haven't seen yet before that I just have to scroll up, no biggie...

[jjbilly]

but if you see the first post of a new 'page', you see only the fresh post... perhaps you should see a page worked back from the end, rather than from the beginning, if you see what I mean. Sounds like a big functionality change though... (what was in the tech spec? ;))

[hangalot]

bloody account managers, selling functionality which they know we can't do. damn their eyes.

[senocular]

the feature I was referencing has been removed

[farafiro]

[senocular]

eh, its back :(

[farafiro]

can u snap-shot it and post it here

[senocular]

This crazy thing

[farafiro]

go here and change to the linear mode

[CyanBlue]

I never knew people actually use that mode... :D

[senocular]

oooooh! I forgot about those queer modes. Thanks farafiro.

Why does mine keep changing back and forth without me touching it? Thats really annoying >:(

[CyanBlue]

WoW... Somebody actually calls me someone??? Am I a part of this human society now??? :D

The Options page has 'Thread Display Mode' section which I have as 'Linear - Oldest to New'... What do you have???

[senocular]

I have linear, oldest first. I havent changed it ... ever - or touched the options in the upper right. Maybe its my alter ego doing it :confused:

[CyanBlue]

Uh... Don't look at me... ;)

[Gibberish]

haha I think Jesse is altering you setting in the db just to mess with you now :)

UPDATE tbl_userSettings SET displayMode = "threaded" WHERE userid = (SELECT userID FROM tbl_users WHERE userName = "senocular")Put that in a PHP file and run a server job to run it every hour :)

[farafiro]

Uh... Don't look at me... ;)
heheeeee
then to who??

[senocular]

I dont know... Gibberish seems to know a lot about whats going on on the inside, and then to blame it on Jesse?

uh - HUH!
