[history]
Terse report for now:
- NEW By popular demand Browse All Forums (Search is on the todo list.)
- FIXED The pager now alerts on new comments to you in any forum (it used to only alert for the News/Activism forum.)
- CHANGED General Interest now General Interest (Chat).
- I added color to the sidebar, tell me (politely!) what you think.
- Lots of misc. things under the hood.
There are a bunch of add'l changes/additions I'd like to make, and this is probably not the last update today. I'll update this thread if so.
Update #1
- You can choose your own color for each topic subscribed in your sidebar. See the subscriptions gadget (All but blue is probably dog ugly. Feel free to suggest new color schemes in standard web hexadecimal (one color for the background of the title the other for the background of the links)
Update #2
- A few trivial changes, mostly cosmetic.
- You can now search by time or relevance from the latest posts. And it remembers what your last search was and defaults to that. So NOW order by time can be your default search setting.
- Oh yeah, almost forgot, SPELL CHECK! (replies for now, articles will come later.)
Update #3
- New Posts to You from You has been vanquished. New posts will only alert when other people ping you.
- Playing with the position of the Spell check button. Sorry.
- Your personal menu has a new small treat inside.
- Fixed a couple bugs dealing with the spell check code.
- I'm not done yet.
Update #4:
- Okay, I have stopped dorking with the link colors. Back to the defaults they go. Thanks for baring my experiment, I figure it's the least you owe for All Forum posts. ;-)

"if you really want to scare people, keep and display running totals of how many times each poster has hit the button for the "Latest Posts" or "My Comments" page" Yeah, that'd do it.

I dunno, have you seen this green on the sidebar?
It could be that the text actually is not black, but rather the default link blue. I should change that.

They think I'm Alan Alda, when I'm actually Helen Keller.Heck - Keller had bigger cajones than Alda has (prolly around the size of James Taylor's).
To: sweetliberty
If you have a bunch of people all ignoring different posters, add to that the posts that get pulled, and it seems you could end up with threads that are not very coherent.I'd think that the individuals who are most likely to be ignored are the ones that generally render a thread incoherent anyway.
Just my 2¢

Needs a softer green color, header looks ok. brb.

Can't you just see it now...these poor folks will have to go to their therapists:
FReeper: Doc, I just don't get it. I post on FR all the time, but nobody ever answers me. It's like I don't even exist. Doc? Doc?

"it's my practice never to post comments on a thread. I'm quite shy." Denial only makes it worse sweetie.

I only have 4K replies. Are you telling on yourself?I think the counter needs to be changed to say
You've posted a total of ###### threads and received ###### replies.
That would be an accurate description of what the counter is telling us.
Now, I admit that it's kinda sad, Nita, that very few people think you're a kind and sensitive Freeper like me. Someone they want to respond to.
Maybe it has something to do with that phase when you were posting pictures of dogs that were run over by steam rollers.

Hey, camo colors might work...

On 2nd thought, no more bets. Y'all cheat.
