'Dirty Girls'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Sorry, Jon, had to go on an inspection tour of the New Building at work, plus I'm desperately confused about where I might have written to you from. It's probably gone to the home address?
Write to me using webmail@johnhorner.net and that should bounce to both work and home.
Request:
After being Grey for a week ... I would love to be able to tell the board I like to go to post 2050 , then 2100 etc. like in People's forum. This would let me really skip and skim effeciently. now -- i read 2000 posts... I can't help it...
Add &post_id=#### where #### is the post you want to go to in the topic. It's not the most elegant solution, but it will work in the short term.
Resent, John.

It's not too difficult to code, but I'm concerned about screen clutter.
You don't even have to add &post_id. Dollars to donuts it will already be there. You just change the current ID to the number of the post you want to see.

Wrod. That's the basis of the John H Natter Diet. It's especially easy because the post number is the last thing in the URL (when reading a thread).
The hard part about the JHND is that I'm often sitting here counting on my fingers and screwing up my face and scratching my head because subtracting 50 from 1115 is not easy for me. I just can't do arithmetic.
I'm secretly hoping that my Diet wil become a board feature, one day. My implementation would be a discreen little field added to the "Read New | Message center | First | Previous | Next | Last | Recent" section, which would say "most recent [FIELD] posts" or similar.
Jon B, I've written to you about that "check tag length" thing, but the short answer is, it doesn't need to be a form element at all, so something like:
document.write('<br><a href="#" onclick="check_length()"><img src="images/btn_checktag.gif" width="178" height="25" alt="check tagline length" border="0"></a>');
should do just fine.
(John, when you've got an odd number like 1115, just go back to the next-to-last major milestone -- so 1050. )
Yep, John, I got the email and it works great. I've got several mods in test right now waiting for ita to look them over, so, on her advice, I'm going to take it easy for little while. :)
