Thread Squisher :)

[Okiewan]

Another new feature.

In your control panel, under "Options", you can chose to collapse the threads that you have already read... new posts will show up "full size", all the others will be one line, showing the author's name, a post subject (if any) and the date and time they posted.

The point?

Makes for less scrolling. you'll notice a + or - next to the author's name... you can click that to expand or contract individual posts. Also, at the top of each thread you can "expand all" or "contract" all.

Note: unless you chose this option in your control panel, expanding and contracting will not stick... meaning you contract them all, but when you go back to the post, it won't remember that you did it. :think

Okie, you need to get out more ......................... and ride a little :p

BTW, very :cool: new feature.

Maybe you need to move to Alaska so that you can spend more time perfecting DRN :confused:

 

[Rooster]

Funny, I just noticed the - signs and tried it. Pretty cool!

 

[KWJams]

Oh my Gawd!

I just squished a Bundu & Rooster :confused:

 

[Okiewan]

Bundu... was rushing to finish some stuff, SUPPOSED to be riding tomorrow... first ride this spring. Weather dude WRONG again. It's been raining all day. :(

 

[Okiewan]

Update. Now the first post in a thread will always be expanded.

I wondered what the little "-" was. Now I know.

On a similar subject, I take advantage of the forum letting me know which threads I have read since last logging on. The problem is that sometimes it takes me so long to read everything that the cookies (or something) refreshes and threads that I still haven't read show that I've read them.

Is there some way to reset it so it will show the threads and posts created after a certain point in time? That way, if I can't read everything, I can come back later and have everything still look like a new post.

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

 

[Okiewan]

Browsers can do some weird stuff with cookies... mine isn't perfect either... sometimes won't show a thread as read, even when I just read it. I use the "Show all threads as read" link at the bottom of the page pretty often.

 

[Okiewan]

Update again:
Now the first line of the posts are on the squished line... (80 characters max)

 

[RM_guy]

Talk about weird things. I just went into the Places to Ride forum and it showed a huge list of members that were in there, more than were even logged on :confused: I got out and went back in and all was normal. I thought it had just become the most popular place on the web ;)

 

[Okiewan]

Strange things happen when I mess with files , which I've been doing all morning. No tellin what you might see, lol.

 

[Okiewan]

BTW, won't work with Netscrape ... not sure about Mac browsers.

 

[XRpredator]

The scroll wheel on my mouse thanks you! :)

 

[MX-727]

Sweet

 

[biglou]

Okie, if you don't get out and ride soon, I may actually be (gasp) faster than someone! :scream: BTW-That new 426 is treating me very well...:D

 

[singletracker500]

Okie..Fly on out here, I'll get you a bike to ride. The weathers great. ;)

BTW...These are all a bunch of great hacks lately!:)

 

[ktmboy]

I like it: if you compress them all as you go, you've got a list of responders above to pick and chose from in a very compact space, making it much easier to go back. (Did that make sense?)

 

[smb_racing]

okie, the thread squisher feature works great with my mac browser, I.E. 5 for mac os 8.6

 

[smb_racing]

noticed another something interesting though, on the thread titles (in the thread listings) that have more than one page, even if you click on page two or three or whatnot it takes you to the first page of the thread.

 

[Patman]

Giving you more for your hard earned dollar. Man Okie what's next? Mind reading?

 

[Okiewan]

Man Okie what's next? Mind reading?

That hack has been installed for over a year :eek:

 

[Jeff Allen]

This place :aj:

 

[Old CR goat]

Now this one is truely great:cool:

 

[BSWIFT]

Okie, a found a possible bug in the "spuish". I selected the "squish all threads" after reading. Some of the older threads will not allow me to "expand" the posts without going back to the cp and changing the selection. This happened in the Brand specific forums and DRN tested.

PS. It has happened in this forum now.:silly:

 

[BSWIFT]

I logged out and back in, no dice. Every post is squished.

Follow up. I changed the CP option, updated, changed the CP option back and the "squish" function is working again.:ugg:
