Thanks.

Give me something to do? Cheeky bugger!

I'm telling Tharg on you and he'll burn your arse!

I think the long and short of those that have had their virtual goalposts moved slightly is this forum recalculating your posts.

Don't think it is, though.  CMK rank used to be 5K posts - now it's 10K.  Which is what we call a challenge round these parts!  What might be nice is some sub-levels between Bionic Fingers and Call Me Kenneth - even one at 7,500 (TerraMek?  Nero Narcos?  Captain Skank)?

And we have 'Active topics'! Excellent job. Personally I'd be happy to lose view unread posts. Active topics shows a new tag when the posts are unread.

BTW, I wouldn't have been able to easily find this topic to post to it without active topics, since I'd already read it up to date.

Cheers,

Wake

Oi! I just realised why I'm not Call-Me-Kenneth any more.

You're only 361 posts shy, keep moaning about it and you'll be there in no time

Active Topics Update

Yes indeedy, I've just finished wading around inside the gubbins of SMF and I've come back with a prize - the View Active Topics list! Its available from the top left of your screen around where the other lists can be accessed.

It's a little slow at times (0.4s rather than the desires 0.06) but it seems to do the job. Give it a go, see what you think.

Currently it only lists threads with replies posted within the last two days. Is this going to be enough for some of you? Currently that's three whole pages of thread titles for you to check out.

Nice to have active topics back, but there's nothing to differentiate between read/unread posts - I always used to check out the red (unread) posts in order of interest, and scrolling down to the first black (read) one in the list showed me where I last logged off. Now they all have black lines in a red border.

I hate to be so picky, but you guys are doing so much hard work getting things just the way we like it, seems a shame to waste the opportunity!

I'm seeing the blue "new" icon to the left of the thread title for any thread I'm not up to date with - are you not seeing this icon?

That only seems to indicate threads that I've NEVER looked at, rather than ones that have new posts since I last read them.

[VinceBot]

Ah, you could be right there.
I'll have a ganders at the code after lunch and track down the right variable, I musta picked the wrong one.

Cheers Vince. You backroom droids are doing a splendid job!

Huzzah! well done chaps, carry on....

[w3bz]

Yes we'll probably add some sub ranks in at some point.

... and who you calling a backroom droid ya bushy eyebrowed begger! 

[Peter Wolf]

Wow.

Reinstated Active topics !

Top class work and top marks to yourselves for that.

[VinceBot]

There we go, think I've fixed it now. You should see the new icon on any threads you haven't visited, or that contain new posts since you last viewed said thread.
