Additional forum mods reinstalled

Post by FORDification »

Been busy working on the forums this evening, getting some of the previously-uninstalled mods reinstalled. So far I've done the following:

1) Quick Reply box - at the end of every thread there's a box to type in a reply without having to hit the Reply button (which saves you from having to load an extra page), with the ability to add your sig file and to quote the previous post.

2) The Memberlist has been updated to include the date that each forum member last logged in.

3) Printer Friendly Topic - adds a Print Topic button at the top of every thread. Clicking this will give you a mostly-text version of the thread, which makes for faster printing (and uses less ink!)

4) Restrict Guest Access - Guests will no longer have access to the Memberlist, Search or Profiles. These areas will only be available to registered members who are logged in.

New MODs added/reinstalled:

Chunk Long URL's - This function splits a long URL into chunks, then glues it back together with a couple of dots to prevent a forum page to get stretched out. (very handy with E-bay links!)

Topic Started Date - Shows the time a topic was created on each forum page, along with the the thread's original author.

Yes, it was there several months ago....just another mod that had to be uninstalled for troubleshooting purposes.

Just added another:

Post Numbers - Each post in a thread is now numbered in the upper left-hand corner of that post. The number is a link to that specific post. Now when you want to direct someone to a specific post, you can click that link and then copy/paste the URL contained in the pop-up window. This will prevent you from telling someone to go to a certain thread and then scroll down to the 15th (e.g.) post....now you can link him directly to any post on the forums. :D

Another mod added:

Sort memberlist per letter - This enables registered users to search for forum members (via the Memberlist) who have their name starting with a specific letter. You can also choose "others" (meaning non-alpha characters), and "all" (the regular list). As the membership here is growing, this is a nice feature to have, making it MUCH faster to find someone.

Another one added:

View posts since last visit Number - Shows how many new posts were made since you last visited, located in the upper-righthand corner of the main forum index page. This mod replaces the "View posts since last visit" with this: View posts since last visit (X)", where X is the number of posts that were made since your last visit.
