Thanks, glad you like it. I've changed it so that now when you click a link it opens in a new window.


Enjoy.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but in the threads about wanted items and Residential, it would be nice to see which of the threads are still live, ie still waiting to get rid of a TV or the house for rent is now occupied.


It would be useful to see this in the title field - Open / Closed

Hi Mark - not sure threads by date is working. On 'wanted' thread I had to trawl through 9 pages to find the topic that was showing as new post. Think latest post first is possibly best - will go with majorityl What possibly could be useful is signing off a post if it is finished (I think someone else has suggested that.).


Not a criticism - I think you do a great job - merely a suggestion.

This may have been raised before (couldn't find it if so with a search).


Is there a way to show when posts have been lounged - i.e. you can see the thread title in the original forum, but when you click on it you are taken to the current location of the thread? I've seen this on other forums, and as a fairly new poster I have found it a bit confusing when a thread disappears - I've only just realised it is because they are being lounged.


The downside with the idea may be that so much stuff gets lounged that it clutters up the main forum page, I guess.

It is possible to leave a place marker in the main room when lounging.

Whether one is left or not is down to discretion really, generally not is the usually case for, as stated, reasons of clutter.


err.. from what I've witnessed; wouldn't want to put words in the admin's mouth.

It would help new users to leave a dummy thread behind when lounging. Whereas seasoned users wouldn't find it so useful - they will have cottoned on to the idea that threads suddnly migrate.


I'd like to take a sideways step - an option only to view threads with new content. Then (if you selected this) you wouldnt see the dummy thread anymore.

Hi, we do leave a notification if a popular thread's been moved and we're trying to remember to add (lounged) to the title.


Regarding the new content, if you look at the list of thread titles page e.g. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/list.php?5 you will see a small red new next to the title. If you click that you'll be taken to the first message that you haven't read in that thread. You have to be logged in for this to work. Also unread messages have a pinkish colour heading.

Hi Steve


I've looked into it a bit but it's quite hard to do technically and financially (because of taking payments) and to get people to give a small amount to sell something is that Loot does and they're a company. It's a good idea but I came to the decision that the administration for setting it up and running it is too much, if the technology became readily available to do it easily then one day I might.


Thanks for the suggestion


Mark

As all links on the site are blue, making it another colour would confuse people so what I'll (try to) do is make links in messages bold, like this. This is a test one, if it's bold then it works.


OK, it seems to work, let me know if that's better or worse.

Just a thought... How about (if not too difficult) if we could add a POLL option to our forum.

It would work on the same basis as starting a thread ie. instead of Subject you would put your poll question and

underneath would have your poll option where you could add more options. So if your poll was to ask the question

"Do you smoke" you could add the options of : yes, no, use to etc. You could have an option for how many days your poll would run for!

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
