With the referral thing, it would be cool if you could sort your threads started page by number of referrals instead of just chronology. That way people who have 10 pages of started threads could quickly see which of their threads are drawing the most outside hits. Of course, this is merely for novelty, but it would still be fun if not too complicated a task.

I'd have to integrate some databases that I poorly designed...maybe I can do that next week.

It would be quite a sight to see you put someone through one of those.

How about on the Wienerlist page, being able to sort by referrals (the same number that show up in our profiles)?

Again, it'd be purely a novelty thing, but it'd be neat to see whose name brings all the boys to the yard.

Referral numbers are generated on the fly, so I don't have an easy way to generate lots of referral stats without writing something really really CPU-intensive. Besides, I don't think I want to get into "I got more referrals than you" competitions that would be made way too easily by providing simple access to that kind of stat. Not that I wouldn't be doing just that with thread comparisons......oh I'll have to think about all this later

No big deal. If it's a lot of work for you, don't worry about it. But I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that.

Okay, the threadsbyuser.php page has changed - look for some sort links in the column titles. If you are so inclined, you may also elect to sort by most views or most replies instead of most referrals...or by thread title.

(And do let me know if you find any bugs.)

Now THAT is spiffy.

Its really quite alarming see the the shit people look up on the net. randy+orton+gets+alot+of+ass is probably the most disturbing I found for any of my threads. I mean really.

Its amusing to see that when I spelt Spoilers (spoliers) wrongly in a thread title 3 people were glaykit enough to search under the same mis-spelling. At least I can claim I never had a chance to change it once the thread was posted

Out of curiosity, why are some of the referals 'encoded queries'? I'm assuming this is staggeringly obvious to most computer literate folks, but my knowledge of the things really does begin and end with the keyboard (though I'm slowly coming to terms with the mouse)

Oh, and no bugs that I can see.

Very nice. The only thing I noticed was that, when I sort, some of the threads that are on Page 1 in date order don't show up at all when I sort by referral (as if I have more than one page of threads started). However, the page says I only have 1 page of threads started and I can't find certain threads when I sort by another header.

Sorry if that little ramble didn't make sense...looking at it now, it's not explained very well.

This should be fixed, if I understood you. :)

As we are asking (and throwing in ideas) on how to manage the Referrals page. I wonder if there's anyway you can manage to put in order your last linked referral... I'm I making senes? I'm not talking about last thread/post that was made. I mean when your Referral number goes up in bumps to the top so you know how many new ones since your last visit.

Don't think that one's doable, sorry.

Uhm.... probably?

I didn't bother. I'm not sure when I can get to that.
