Would it be possible to have a drop down selection list for the "Recent Topics" option ?

Also in the forum search could we also have a "Search Titles Only" option ?

Probably; but what do you want in said list, lol

Its there under "Search message title only"

Similar to the periods/items under the "old AT" options :-

30 Mins/1 Hour/2 Hours/ 4 Hours etc.....

Didn't know that as "Search Message Title Only" should mean what it says IMO

Whilst on the subject, I was thinking of adding highlights based on whether the posts have been read or not. What do you reckon? How easy would that be to implement? Get the same info for the new posts?

Is it possible to the user have option for the interface of the forum with which he feels comfortable. For example I have problems with this white and yellow combination and would like to have the back ground as light gray.

This is an Active Topics mod. It has been requested and should be implemented sometime this millenium when I find some free time to code it

Its what it is; of course its the same; besides, you can always try the 3 options in search and se if they do what you want

Sorry CropRotation, but as it stands the forum styling is fixed. We can't really keep changing the style on a whim because there are so many things to change with a website as complex/sophisticated as ours. Grey is a bit boring anyways

Thanks Kieran - I'll play around with the search options (but when did a message become a topic ?) and check back with you in the next millenium (if I last that long

)

I thought the 'Recent Topics' page was my baby?

The recent topics page is, yes. If you want to re-code this to be an Active Topics mod as Jim has described a couple of times here, then by all means go ahead. There is an abandonned mod on phpBB that could be used as a starting point, but would need to be finished, checked and brought up top "modern" phpBB standards (its a mod from 2003). Would be one less thing for overworked me to do

Sorry Guys - forgot I'd alreadyy requested this for the recent topics - must have been last millenium......

Post by **Neo** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 2:14 pm

OK Kieran, my todo list only extends 100 years, so I'll put it on that

Shotokan101 wrote:forgot I'd alreadyy requested this for the recent topics

Where? Perhaps I'm searching for the wrong terms?
