I think that'll make everyone's forum browsing easier and will also help reduce wasted bandwidth and unnecessary server load. You won't have to click "home" to just go back to the recent topics page as it's been linked to from all pages where it seemed to be needed. Please post here if you found that update useful. Thanks.

Andy Administrator Posted: 16 Apr 2005 20:25 GMT Total Posts: 939 | I think that's actually on the Admin To-Do list. Yes, it is. |

Posted: 16 Apr 2005 21:04 GMT Total Posts: 2486 | Yes, its on the list. The thing is that Teemz only keeps time of last reply and not the author. Because of the way things work, getting last author on the fly would be a big performance hit and changing the db structure would require some time. If I have some free time, I'll see if there's any trick can be done to avoid many changes. I'll post back with any news as they come.

Andy Administrator Posted: 16 Apr 2005 22:27 GMT Total Posts: 939 | Ewwww... That sounds icky. |
TI Freak Probe Posted: 17 Apr 2005 08:39 GMT Total Posts: Edit | Especially since Andy has already broken the mail feature... :P |
Andy Administrator Posted: 17 Apr 2005 08:43 GMT Total Posts: 939 | HEY! Allyn actually did that... It was just to the point where I was getting a bounceback from a *@*.ch address daily and I never sent mail there. |
TI Freak Probe Posted: 17 Apr 2005 09:00 GMT Total Posts: Edit | lol, just jokin. I just hope that it is fixable... |
Andy Administrator Posted: 17 Apr 2005 09:21 GMT Total Posts: 939 | I'm sure it is, somehow. |
greenorange Goliath Posted: 18 Apr 2005 05:29 GMT Total Posts: 199 | Great improvement, Im using that now instead of going to the home page. |
JcCorp Probe Posted: 18 Apr 2005 16:32 GMT Total Posts: Edit | I was actually thinking about asking you guys to do that... nice work with your telepathy! |

TI Freak Probe Posted: 19 Apr 2005 10:03 GMT Total Posts: Edit | How about a 'back to top' button, at the end of the posts...? |
Andy Administrator Posted: 19 Apr 2005 10:41 GMT Total Posts: 939 | That's what the Home button on your keyboard is for. :)
Well, if you really want it, it would just be a button with a simple javascript in it... window.scroll(0); or somthing. I'm not sure. *tries*
scroll to top?
Guess that doesn't work.

TI Freak Probe Posted: 19 Apr 2005 11:43 GMT Total Posts: Edit | I click on it and it sent me to the top of the page... |
Andy Administrator Posted: 19 Apr 2005 12:26 GMT Total Posts: 939 | Doesn't work in Opera, so it doesn't work period. :)
We could just do a <a name="top" /> ... <a href="#top"> I guess...

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 14:58 GMT Total Posts: 2486 | That's why most ppl don't user Opera... Although IE's forgiveness does make people not care about their code and all that. Oh well. Like A said, named anchors would be a better cross-browser choice one way or another.

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 15:16 GMT Total Posts: 2007 | True, and most browsers implement the 'top' anchor wheteher or not you have it defined when they load the page. |
Andy Administrator Posted: 19 Apr 2005 16:28 GMT Total Posts: 939 | Really? I never heard that before... And I'm almost certain that wouldn't be strictly HTML compliant. |

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 18:26 GMT Total Posts: 2007 | What I meant wa sthat you can have a link such as <a href="#top">Top</a> and not have an anchor <a name="top"></a> and most browsers will still recognize what you want to do. |
Andy Administrator Posted: 19 Apr 2005 20:58 GMT Total Posts: 939 | I'm still almost certain that's not to be expected by a strictly compliant browser.
If clicking this takes you to the top of the page, your browser probably is breaking the rules.
Yeah, doesn't work in Opera -- another bad solution.

*Cough* Opera bad! *cough* Firefox good! *cough* :) .

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 21:48 GMT Total Posts: 1892 | Have you actually tried Opera? If you haven't lately, I really recommend that you do. On a related note, they launched version 8.0 today, and I've been using the beta of that for the past few months, and it's very nice. Opera Homepage |

Posted: 20 Apr 2005 06:33 GMT Total Posts: 1892 | Yeah, except that the Menus for this site seem to not show up in FF, that's a problem. |
Andy Administrator Posted: 20 Apr 2005 06:41 GMT Total Posts: 939 | I think I'll stick with Opera, I've got it set up just the way I like it. :) |

Posted: 20 Apr 2005 21:13 GMT Total Posts: 2007 | I think the problem is in the macromedia javascript (that's what my firefox javascript console whine about, anyways). It says use the document.getElementById() function to reference the menu objects instead of the little trick function dreamweaver implemented. |
