Ashley Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 Give us the proper use of the bloody caps lock key. What do you mean? Oh and just so everyone knows: sug·ges·tion P Pronunciation Key (sg-jschn, s-js-) n. The act of suggesting. Something suggested: We ordered the shrimp, a suggestion of the waiter. The sequential process by which one thought or mental image leads to another. A psychological process by which an idea is induced in or adopted by another without argument, command, or coercion. An idea or response so induced. A hint or trace: just a suggestion of makeup; the first suggestion of trouble ahead. de·mand P Pronunciation Key (d-mnd) v. de·mand·ed, de·mand·ing, de·mands v. intr. To make a demand.
Mr_Odwin Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Is there are way to stop the "time-out" refresh on read/unread threads on VBulletin? I can go away from the forum with unread threads and they are usually showing as unread when I return; however, if I sit on any page for too long, i.e. reading a particularly long series of posts or I leave the computer for a while, when I go back to the thread list it's marked everything as read, unless threads have new posts in the meantime. The old XSOrbit forums didn't do this, which was one of the few good things about it, is this "hard-wired" in the VBulletin code or can it be lengthened (considerably)/disabled? I think, in general, this forum is rubbish at remembering which threads and boards you have read. Even when I use the option to mark whole boards as read, sometimes when I come back a short/long time later all the threads that I've read, or marked as read, appear to have new posts but in fact they don't. It's quite annoying. Edit: Even just now when I made this reply, submitted it and went back to the forum index, the forum said that there were new replies in the rules board. Lies.

Taken on board, I still suggest you give us the proper use of the bloody caps lock key. What do you mean? Since you asked so nicely. Were you to construct a sentence with the caps lock on it will transform it to this: "Only The First Letter Of Each Word Will Be Capitalized"
Ashley Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 Hmm guess its just a general grammatical thing. Been trawling through to see about the whole "thread read/not read" cookie whatever problem (couldnt find anything im afraid) and didnt see anything for this. Will delve deeper. Oh wait, i've enable capslock. But no shouting, I have a headache.
RoadKill Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 YEAH IT totally didn't work. ALTHOUGH IF YOU do CAPS LOCK short enough, it doesn't bother FUCKING YOU IN THE ASS.
Ashley Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 Actually can we clear this up. Are old posts that you havn't read (say from 2 weeks ago) being marked as new. Or Are posts you have read being marked as new? As the first one is standard of vB anyway.

Mr_Odwin Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Posts we've read are being marked as new. It's that one Ashley. Here is an example of the sort of stuff that goes on.
dukkadukka Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 i don't know if vbullettin allows it, but it would be great if we were allowed to store more messages. is it possible to increase the amount?

Or Are posts you have read being marked as new? As the first one is standard of vB anyway. Well, in my case it's that posts I haven't read are being marked as read, simply because I've been sat on one page for too long. Kind of gets annoying, especially as I have no idea of how long the specific time out is, my best guess is it's in the 15-20 minute range. To be honest that's nowhere near long enough, I'd prefer for the the timeout to be disabled completely, but if that isn't possible then it really needs to be at least an hour.
Raining_again Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Is there any way of making the PM section a bit noticeable? i keep gettin messages and not seeing it. not that im critising the design, im blind as bugger
Platty Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 i dont think there is to be honest, well not that i can see cos i too am blind as a bat when it comes to the Vb admin panel >_<
Bowser57 Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 The announcement things by Ash that appear at the top of pages could do with updating as they feature talk of Rep Points. -1 Rep.
Raining_again Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 i dont think there is to be honest, well not that i can see cos i too am blind as a bat when it comes to the Vb admin panel >_< hehe aw well i dont blame ya it must be awful confusing with so many more things to do
RoadKill Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Click User CP, Edit Options.. About half way down the page there is a Private Messaging section, check the last box (popup when you have a new Private Message). Then it will popup and tell you've got a PM while you're browsing the forums.

Read through the rest of the thread, i'm sure the answer is in here.
RoadKill Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I just read everything and then click mark all forums read.
Mr_Odwin Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Read through the rest of the thread, i'm sure the answer is in here. Nope, an ongoing problem. But Roadie, sometimes when I do that if I kill my browser and then open a new one later and come back, marked read threads/boards are no longer marked read and appear to have new posts, when they don't.
Platty Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 it is annoying, it happens to me and i have no idea how to solve the problem
