New and Exciting Things about this New and Exciting Board

[Luet]

Middle-clicking opens in a new page/tab directly, without the right click menu.

Not all of us have a middle click. At least I don't think I do on this laptop touch bad thingy.

[VelvetElvis]

Dude. He so totally told you what to do.

ETA: Nom? No english speak sense.

ETA: It appears to be working. It's not retroactive, however. It'll only work for new or edited posts.

THANK YOU, CHRIS!!!!!!

Works retroactively for me...

Sorry, I edited and added the post I was referring to so hopefully it will make more sense. If not, oh well.

Well, it said it wouldn't work retroactively...

[VelvetElvis]

oh well!

If you are still confused about what a middle button is, on a computer mouse there is that middle scrolling wheel that can also be pushed down. That is the middle button.

But on my laptop, it has a touchpad (bottom picture) which only has a right and left button, no middle.

Does that help?

laptop touch bad thingy

[Luet]

That was just a typo. Touch pad, not touch bad. Geez.

[VelvetElvis]

Oh. I've been at work too long.

[Gravity Defier]

touch bad. Geez.

I know, right? One really must strive to do touch goods only.

[Syphon the Sun]

Isn't that what we have Alea for?

But she can't know when the last time someone logged in! Only when they posted. We don't want to (necessarily) harass lurkers.

[VelvetElvis]

I do.

[Syphon the Sun]

I do.

But if they're lurking, we can harass them on the board. We don't need e-mails!

[Gravity Defier]

We don't want to (necessarily) harass lurkers.

Oh.

I like this idea, as long as it's like a one time thing. If they don't come back after one friendly reminder, let it rest.

My father In Law got a friendly reminder email from Facebook the other day... Something along the lines of

John
Why you no come back for a week? We did annoying things and want show you our new shiny! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Love
facebook

[VelvetElvis]

Facebook sends reminders? I think Xanga used to do that.

Testing... one... two...

[Petra456]

Testing... one... two...

Anything but that...

[Gravity Defier]

Testing... one... two...

Anything but that...

RENT? Maybe?



This may be a silly thing to ask for and unobtainable at that but...we used to have subtitles. You know, a second line for a thread title. Could we get that back or is that old news?

[Dr. Mobius]

Looks like there's an old mod in beta, but the download link is broken and I don't think I'm nerdy enough to install a mod anyway. (Actually, I probably could if someone showed me how first, but I'm afraid I'll screw something up if I try it on my own.)

This is weird.

RENT? Maybe?

Of course!

This is weird.

It's weird.

[Dr. Mobius]

You're weird.

It's supposed to be like redacted, in case you want to edit a post but leave the original text there or something.

[steph]

It's weird.

Very weird.

[Young Val]

fucking weird!

Yes! I had that on my list of things for the new board, but I had no idea if anyone remembered it/wanted it.

I hope it can be done.

[VelvetElvis]

I miss that feature.

[Noodle]

I've been swamped between studying for a test that I just passed and shopping for a car that I just bought. Now that I will have some time again I can upload the pweb 2.0 smilies that I found. I also found a subtitle mod that's out of beta so I can work on getting that online.

Any other features we're waiting on?

[VelvetElvis]

disco ball.

[Gravity Defier]

Thanks to whoever made it so the bots don't show up on the registered users (online) list on the index. :) That was driving me nuts.

And did Satya's title change today or did I miss that before? Hopefully that's okay for him while he thinks of one he wants but in the meantime, *whispers* yay.

[Noodle]

Josh installed a mod that made the bots go away in the online user list.

I added a mod last night that will allow us to add new mods much easier. It switched the board into maintenance mode without warning me that it would do that. If you saw a brief outage last night, that's why.

I also added a mod that will show the contents of PMs in the email that comes to you so you don't have to log onto the site to see what the PM said.

I attempted to add the Topic Description Mod, but it had an error, and I didn't have a chance to debug. It looks like I'll have to go through all the themes and make modifications to them in order for the topic description to work. I'll see what I can do this weekend.

I wasn't using the computer that I downloaded all the smilies to so I haven't uploaded them yet. Soon.

This is why I avoided taking up installing a subtitle mod.
