Bugs / suggestions

Just wanted to drop a note to say that admins can, indeed, make edits without a notice appearing (though not to their own posts, IIRC). I've used it here many time to fix super-egregious spelling errors in topic titles, for both a petty reason (it bugs me to see them on the home page again and again) and for a good reason (future searches for a topic will never turn up the misspelled word unless you misspell it in the search).

I feel evil and sneaky doing it sometimes, but never bad. :)

*bump* See what I mean?

Upon hearing this, the student was enlightened.

OK then...how can I extend the time/count for which posts are considered 'new'?

It's probably not possible, but it would be nice to have a button on the chat that would let you log the chat-window. Next to the EXIT-button, there could be a LOG-button. Clicking it would give you a dialog box with where to save the file.

Cheese!

No problemo, I thought as much... (It's just that I sometimes think about saving/logging the chat AFTER I slosed the window... Having a button would remind me to save before closing the box with wonderful ideas.)

Maybe you could put a reminder/suggestion (plain text) under or above the "close button", to remind people like me. (If itdoesn't ruin the layout and all that is...)

Thanks anyway.

I can understand that BGDF might want to use or subscribe to some mechanism for banning IP addresses of abusers; that seems very sensible. But may I ask -- very diffidently and politely -- if it's necessary for the Sentinel list to constantly scroll down the side of every page? I ask because I find it quite distracting, worse than animated smileys because it's bigger and it doesn't just jitter; it travels. If possible, I'd prefer to have just the non-moving list.

If I've missed some news or announcement about this, I apologize. Thanks for listening.

I have to agree with Rick on this one.

Yep, it's gone now. :)

Seo

The "List All Posts; Latest First" link on the main page is useful to me, and works fine for the first page. But the links to subsequent pages all fail with a "No results found" error. Turns out they would work if you add this parameter to each URL in the list of pages:

&search_author=*

That parameter is in the link from the main page, but not in any of the links to "Next" page or the numbered page links.

Just for you, I will look into changing this tonight =)

I've looked into fixing that many times but could never figure it out. Good luck.

Thanks, guys! If it proves too tough, you don't have to kill yourselves over it for my sake. I can work around it. For any others who also wish to work around the bug, you can access any page in the list by clicking the link, waiting for the failure page, and then appending &search_author=* to the URL in your browser's URL field.

PHPNuke is a tremendous hassle to modify. I appreciate modularization in code, but when you're trying to track down where the code is that does something, it's not uncommon to see that it's there because it calls some procedure in an include, which in turn directly calls another procedure in another module (and does nothing else -- the first one could just call the third, but I'm sure it would be improper, layer-wise), which in turn is made up of calls to 6 other modules, each of which calls another 2 or 3, and all of which rely on a resource-style written language reference thing such that you can't look for, say, the word "Polls," say, in order to change something, because it's being referenced as $A2R everywhere, but you don't know that and so you have to look that up, and... ARRRGGHH!
