rad new features

Post by **sine nomine** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 8:27 am

i installed a few things tonight (i went wandering about the download section of the phpbb site):

if you accidentally try to double post, you'll get a message telling you you can't post two consecutive replies with the same text
when you're viewing a post, the poster's anme is now a link to their profile
your inbox now tells you both the percentage used and the number of messages/total allowed messages you have.
really long strings of text with no spaces are now broken into chunks automatically, so the message doesn't stretch the browser window

and (drumroll)
when you reply to a private message now, you will see the old message and all previous messages in the pm thread the same way you see all the previous posts in a thread when you reply on the board

that last one, unfortuntely, only works for messages sent after it was installed tonight. still, it rocks.

that's all for right now, though i may add a few more things tonight.

it's fixed now. i was editing the profile display file to make it so you can't view member profiles unless you're logged in, and i accidentally deleted one character. then i didn't notice it til just now.

all should be well now.

i'm about to try something to install a nifty feature. if it fails, things may be weird for a few minutes. just a warning; i've made it so that i can fix a failure quickly but i wanted to warn anyone.

WOW!!! They are amazing Deb, thanks. I'm especially pleased about the pm one cos i always try to reply to pm's and forget what has been said

you missed my nuking it completely for a moment, then. i was truly impressed with the havoc i managed to wreak.

all better now. order of oeprations matters, btw -- you shouldn't fix something other thigns rely on until you've fixed the thigns that rely on it.

Ahhhhh
Order of operations
I have heard that is kind of important to pay attention to

Do you tink the fact that you have been messing with all this for hours and it is now 2:30 in the morning has anything to do with it?

these features are TOTALLY NIFTY.

i am especially digging the profile one. but whether or not it actually makes me fill it out is left to be seen.

very, very rad. i like the double post thing and the PM thing. excellent. not being able to see what i was replying to was kinda an issue for me... lol *laughs at own lack of short-term memory*
