Um, well I don’t know which forum I’m supposed to use to make suggestions for the site but it kind of relates to this. Would it be possible to create an RSS feed for the latest topics on the forum? That way people could see what’s being talked about on the forum much easier, and they could check the newest topics while surfing other sites. Just an idea…
By the way, I love the new quick preview and this isn’t proposed as a way to replace it. It would only add a feature to the forum.
Um, well I know how to create an RSS feed but my programming knowledge is VERY limited. So I wouldn’t be able to tell you how to automatically update it or if there’s a php mod for it. Basically it would mean that people would be able to see the latest topics straight from the bookmarks on their browser. It would be kind of like a folder of topics in your bookmarks that updates by itself. I’m not sure which browsers support this but I know that Firefox does.
Noooo! The quick preview is broken (I click on the link, but it comes up with a message saying my browser sent a message the server doesn’t understand).
I didn’t realise I relied on it so much until just now .
i’ve changed the layout a little - still searching… i cannot change it to the old layout (like on the dutch forum) because then i cannot exclude the playground and test area from displaying.)
Ah, now I can’t see who the last person to reply was . That’s probably it’s best use (I can watch a number of threads at the same time to see when someone has replied).
I have noticed that the layout was slightly changed again during the last few days… I like the look itself, but i dont like how “recent discussions” now lacks the latest poster and the time it was posted.
I believe it used to show both the lastest poster/reply in thread and the time it was posted, but now all you see is the topic of the thread.
tomas: yes, in this layout it is almost impossible to add that, it will look very messy. It is just a glance after all. If you want all the info on latest topics you can always click on ‘view posts since last visit’
the guy with the big bloody machette likes it now, i don’t want to displease him
no just kidding, i’m still trying out things, i like this one now, because it is nice and peaceful. if i add stuff like latest post it will look messy.
I know it’s been a while since I first posted this here, but I still REALLY want an RSS feed here. This is one of the few instances where I think I would actually use it (this forum). Here’s what I think is a link to show you how, but I don’t know much about phpbb so it may or may not help…
