Has it always been this way? And why is it different?

Looks like the PM sidebar never got fully changed - I can make it look almost like the forum sidebar.

Ditto this. Same 'problem', the two sidebars are in separate files, so they can get out of sync.

Wish list addendum:

I would like to be told if my about-to-be-submitted post will be first on a new page and if so, given the option of quoting the immediately-previous post.

I loathe widows and orphans, and having a post that replies to the post

right above me

OOPS IT'S ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE is mildly irritating.

^ Would be cool.

Mr. Flay · Post Post #603 (ISO) » Tue Jun 14, 2011 12:23 pm

Yeah, that'd be a nifty touch.

ReaperCharlie · Post Post #604 (ISO) » Wed Jun 15, 2011 5:37 am

I have never heard the term "widows and orphans" before. *Makes a mental note*

Thanks, NS.

I would really like to have read/unread icons for PMs in scuMobile. I'm likely the only one, though, so.

Nobody Special · Post Post #606 (ISO) » Thu Jun 23, 2011 9:21 am

Can't recall if this has been addressed (if so, sorry) -- on threadview, the ellipsis between page numbers is clickable; in egosearch it is not. Can this be changed? (also, I'm using scuMobile; if it's like this in Silver or Sepia.....)

Mr. Flay · Post Post #607 (ISO) » Thu Jun 23, 2011 11:50 am

It's probably the same in all skins, because I didn't realize egosearch used a third variant of the elipsis (I made the ones in threads and mailboxes clickable). I'll upgrade the ellipses soon.

ReaperCharlie · Post Post #608 (ISO) » Thu Jun 23, 2011 12:13 pm

Isn't there one character that's all three dots? That one's annoying as f***.

Especially if it's set to automatically change three dots into that character.

F*** YOU, ONE-CHARACTER ELLIPSIS! F*** YOU!

You are so off-topic I don't even know what language you're speaking anymore, RC.

This should be fixed now (it's a core function, not a theme, so it should be sitewide).

Bizarre. Clicking on the ellipsis for this thread (phpBB wish list thread) in my egosearch gives me the window, but choosing page 3 returns this page of search results.

I have no idea what that is.

It's page three of my egosearch.

Hrm? Oh, I see what you're saying. That will require a different function... rolling back changes.

Sometimes when I check all posts in the Help thread it still stays highlighted. Is it a bug or the mod coding lounge is a hidden subforum and makes this happen?

Mr. Flay · Post Post #615 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2011 1:04 am

There are no hidden subgroups of Help. There is the 'completed requests' subforum though, sometimes things get moved there and that can cause it not to register as read.

ReaperCharlie · Post Post #616 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2011 4:37 am

Same here. But every time I check Completed Requests, it's always full of stuff I've already read. Everything is read, and I still have to click "Mark topics read" to get rid of the high-lit icon on the index page.

vezokpiraka · Post Post #617 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2011 8:16 am

It's happening right now.

Yours and RC's are the only new posts here and it tells me something is still new.

I've seen it happen only when Flay and Kison are posting so that's why I was asking about the subgroup.

Mr. Flay · Post Post #618 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:14 am

It's not doing it to me - however next time you see it, go into Solved Requests and hit 'mark all topics read'. Then if it's still showing unread, do the same in the main Help! forum.

The coding group is under a separate category of Administration entirely.

ISO · Post Post #619 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:31 am

This used to happen to me all the time.

It stopped happening once I was able to see everything.

Wasn't this issue due to some kind of hidden post/threads showing up?

Mr. Flay · Post Post #620 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:32 am

Actually, it might be related to the Announcement bug. But there's been no new posts in any global announcements lately, I don't think...

ReaperCharlie · Post Post #621 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:33 am

Shwa! Kison is on the money! Flay is lying, and there ARE hidden Help threads.

Vote: Flay

Mr. Flay · Post Post #622 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:44 am

Stop trolling. There are no hidden Help threads.

ISO · Post Post #623 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2011 12:14 pm

Okay the problem is there is a topic that is not "approved" in this forum. I am assuming most people can't see that topic, and so it is registering as unread.

In order to get rid of the problem I have to mark all topics read in the big help section not in solved requests. So it must something here.

Like I said is there anything hidden? Because it happens to me only when you or Kison post. Sometimes.
