Is it possible to show post distrabution by folder much like the board does with posts by time of day? I think it would be interesting to see who posts their percentage of posts where.

| #23 Posted on 29.3.04 1201.10 Reposted on: 29.3.11 1201.27 | Our biggest problem with doing a lot of the things people have been asking for lately is there's no direct path in the database to get from a POST to a FORUM. The indirect path is POST to THREAD, then THREAD to FORUM. We should probably just add one more field to the posts table, but that means altering, what, 225K+ rows so it's not something I want to do if I can avoid it/it's not something I want to do until I'm really sure I can take the time to know what I'm doing while I'm doing it. What?
Bottom line is: yeah, we need to rework the tables a bit, but that moves the timeline from near-term to Real Soon Now. So when you see some things getting done in a couple days and some things just talked about for weeks, that's usually the deal. | DJ FrostyFreeze

So...What I think you are saying is that in the posts table, there is no forum # associated with each post ID #?
What I'm asking for those who can't speek DB, this is post #225296 (according to the url I'm looking now, and site feedback is forum #4. What I am asking is if for the record for post #225296, is it linked to forum #4 in the tables) I'm thinking CRZ is saying "No." to that. That would need a bit of redoing of the tables. | XPacArmy

| #27 Posted on 30.3.04 0108.02 Reposted on: 30.3.11 0108.17 | Since everyone is throwing in their 2 Cents. I have one silly idea. What about adding on a "Spoiler" forum? So that way you can post about a new movie or TV show you have seen without having to write spoilers in the title all the time. Also, it can help the Survivor fans in Australia. You don't have to worry about clicking a Survivor thread in the "Random" forum and be upset about it ruining it for you. It can also help the wrestling area. That way you don't have to block off the wrestling forum during RAW. If you want to post about RAW during the show you can do it in the "Spoiler" forum so not to spoil anything for the rest of the states. | CRZ

Or...you could wait until the show is over!
I close the forum during RAW because people can't help themselves and it's just easier when people don't have the opportunity, plus I don't have to constantly repeat myself with all the new people who would inevitably try to start threads halfway through segment one.
We still have a freeze on new forums, but rest assured "Spoilers" isn't even on that radar. It's not THAT bad a problem - especially when people use the [spoiler]/[/spoiler] tags. | Jericholic53

If you show all posts in a thread, there SHOULD be different colours for posts before or after the last time you marked the forum read. (You do "Mark forum read," don't you?) | Nenz

Yeah I do. I noticed that there where two different colours, but I didn't realize that they were different after the last "mark forum read". | Karlos the Jackal

I have use a system just like that. For phpBB, there was a mod written just like you suggested and on other phpBB boards it has worked great.
The mod did significantly rewrite the viewthread.php routines. Hell, it was basically a rewrite of phpBB. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
