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!

    • David Attenborough has also done programmes on this amazing relationship.  This is from 2010 but I am sure that there were more recent programmes on the Beeb https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006ry61 Mummy trees are amazing.  
    • Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.
    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
    • I installed an all-in-one air conditioning unit at my holiday home since I wasn’t allowed to have an external fan unit outside. It actually works just as well, was easier to fit, and although it’s slightly noisier, it’s a good solution overall. https://www.orionairsales.co.uk/all-in-one-air-conditioning-142-c.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopZSVZj1_utAO-Hr4m5M323nRZru6Zmf1YuT4KP2touJ2OLaruU
