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!

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
