BossAreaForum

Hi admin.
I have a few requests.
Is it possible to get the serial decoder linked to this new forum?
Also, what about a " like " icon for posts?
Can we have more smilies?
What about an option to have email notifications to threads we have started?
Thanks man.

Hi admin. I have a few requests. Is it possible to get the serial decoder linked to this new forum?

Linked, Yes. But if the site hosting it goes down, It's just gone. I'm not sure who made the decoder, or who compiled the serial numbers. Maybe another member here could tell me.

Also, what about a " like " icon for posts?

That's one thing I'm not thrilled about. It seems to me that people don't reply if they can just "like" it.

Can we have more smilies?

Yes. I'll look into adding those soon.

What about an option to have email notifications to threads we have started?

If there is code already written for it and available on the Phpbb website, I'll add it.

You're right. That's also how I think about that function.

Hmm, Ok - no like.
Thanks for considering my suggestions Darrin.

I would love a "new posts" button like on SBZ.
That's really convenient.

I'll see if I can make a button for that. Sclitheroe made a post on this page that explains how to view all the new post. I believe you can follow this link search.php?search_id=unreadposts

If anybody still has that info I could look into making one. But I'd need precise and complete numbers for the data sets.

I know Skugga was facing some challenges keeping the forum running but I don't think he was necessarily intending to take the whole SBZ site down? I got the impression he was going to covert it to a read only resource. May have got that wrong though.

Looks like he's made it across to BAF though so hopefully he might be able to clarify.

We need the old Guinness one

Yes, indeed!
