Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Oh, DX -- been meaning to ask.
I want to put the thread deleting code (where I delete the posts from an archived thread) into the thread maintenance page. So when you click "archive" they all go away. This might require adding a "hide" option, just so there's something a little less drastic.
Will this work for you?
Yes (to Jon). Phred has no Special Stompy Powers, you see, so he's useful for looking at stuff from that point of view.
ita, it's sort of nice having a little safety window between hiding the thread and deleting it, but if you add a "hide" option, it should be fine. Maybe rename the other to "archive and delete," and add an "Are you sure?" dialog.

Okay -- I'll go that way.

Yep. I've done the same trick on the test boards.
I marked a post and it reset that post to be the top of the page.
So damn cool.
How long has this been implimented?
About a week and a half:

It is tres cool.
FYI, JustKim posted in Book Club and didn't get a new post number. Wolfram "The Buffista Book Club: Isn't the Point of Computers to Replace Books?" Dec 28, 2004 10:47:00 am PST
I'm pretty sure it's not a sign of the apocalypse, but I figured y'all might want to know.
msbelle "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Jan 6, 2005 8:17:52 am PST Maybe it was the result of the work ita was doing when she posted the above. No one had posted in the book club thread since 12/28, until today.
eta...
(In the link above, msbelle had the first post numbered 9194, and ita had the second, so the linky thing links to msbelle's, but the post to which I'm referring is just one post down.)
Noted in post 9194, Wolfram.
Which reminds me -- very few people have shown up to advocate for keeping stuff on the modification list.
The things that have been talked about that haven't been discussed or specced in detail are (I think) the style issue and the user pictures and tagline archiving.
I don't want my taglines attached to my posts -- I like that they all change. So that's me on that. I don't care about user pictures, but it's going to a) eat server space, b) require some coding hoops, and c) mean we have to get firm about what's appropriate and not.
As for the style thing -- I'm still of the opinion that offering set style sheets is the best option, not just from an implementation, but from an administration PoV.
