More
like this.
so topics are
easier to
define.
Or maybe/ like/ this/ so that / topics/ are easier/ to define
Posted by: Dead Air Sep 12 2005, 10:37 PM

I think he'll tell us when he's done. I'm sure he's not keeping up with what we like or don't. He is a CODE DIVA after all.

Lookin' awesome Andy. Would it be possible to add the 'Goto Last Unread' icon (
) to the nailed topics?

Hey while you are at it can you make it so that when you are viewing a post that isnt on page one and when you click to return to the forum that it takes you back to the page you were looking at instead of page one.
Thanks

Sweet german measles, I like it!
Posted by: lapuwali Sep 12 2005, 11:18 PM
I like the new look. I was puzzled, at first, but I like it. Can't decide if it would look better "justified", with the columns all lined up, or not.
Posted by: McMark Sep 12 2005, 11:21 PM
Looks like a DIVA to me. 
Sorry Andy, I was bored waiting for you to finish coding.

Two columns (table)?

Table, no borders. Looks messy on my screen.

nope, i don't think it should be a table. that'll cut down way too much on the useable space.
on my screen, i get 3 or even four topics per line as it just "flows" with the size of the browser.
no fixed columns ...

It would be cool to still have the page numbers listed for easier access.
Some of these threads have multiple pages, like the RRC is up to 10 pages!
I like the look so far Andy!

Instead of hitting http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=SF&f=2button on the 914 web page hit the "back" button on your browser.

Great work so far!!! My only suggestion would be to separate the club calendar from the other nailed threads... with links going from the calendar to each additional thread.

Posted by: jonwatts Sep 13 2005, 06:22 PM
I changed my mind, I don't like it. I appreciate the smaller size but it's too unorganized. Now instead of glancing past it as I scroll down and maybe seeing which nailed topics have had activity I just visually avoid the whole space.
Never Satisfied Regards,
Jon
Posted by: fiid Sep 13 2005, 06:49 PM
if you put each topic name in it's own fixed size invisible table with no line breaks between - you might be able to get it so that they are aligned in even columns, but will go as wide as they can go given the browser windows size.
Just a thought - might not work.
Posted by: cooltimes Sep 13 2005, 07:15 PM
Looks good but a little tight on a 640X480 screen. Had to roll out to 1152X864 to get it to spread a little.
How about a little 914 theme music, played on a sawzall when logging in. LOL
I went to 1600X1200 for a view and coming back in edit mode. Nix on that size too. What screen size is the site using?

I do that normally but when i read a thread that is multiple pages it would be nice to do one click.

just do as i do ...
i always open a thread in it's own new window.
that way the page i'm on always stays and i can look through several threads without having to go back and forth. simply close the thread window when done reading ...

Andy, nice work. The "important" topics don't take up much real estate on my 1920 pixel wide screen! Schweet.
Another thought... sometimes the icon that goes with the topic title gets orphaned at the end of a line when the title wraps to the next line. It would be nice if they wrapped together. It may be as simple as using a set of HTML tags to keep them together? Maybe [NOBR]img then title then close...[/NOBR]
Just an idea. Thanks man!
Posted by: SirAndy Sep 24 2005, 12:08 AM
alright, back by popular demand ...
i added the "Pages" section to the end of the pinned threads so now you can see how many pages a thread has and go to the first/last page directly again ...
