[FORUM] Recent Post UPGRADE request

Ophis · January 13, 2013, 02:12:35 PM

I would like to ask if its possible to upgrade RECENT POSTS section to function as RECENT TOPICS.

Right now if we have some SPAM thread like for example newest super duper mega system from JC or any other silly stuff that encourage everyone to spam in it we got FLOOD with this information in RECENT POSTS

REASON for request:
Some topics/posts are getting lost in this flood. This is visible mostly when topics title look similar.
If someone is visiting forum once a day there is no way they will ever see anything beside this flood.
If someone will post important topic outside of hot hours then his topic will be lost as soon as SPAM thread will start to roll again and no one will see it.

[attachimg=1]

What i would like to ask for is to combine all posts from single topic into one line:

(3) Hello to everyone by ....
(56) Re: *******7 on 1******* by ....
(4) Some observations regarding progressions and bets by ....

if we got new post in "Some observations regarding progressions and bets" it would be moved to the top:

(5) Some observations regarding progressions and bets by ....
(3) Hello to everyone by ....
(56) Re: *******7 on 1******* by ....

etc.

If this topic will be lost in flood i will write a bot to BUMP it every 10minutes.

Ophis request sounds like a very good idea to me.

I agree. I think the spamming must be dealt with. I've bumped recently myself.

I agree with Atlantis...sounds like a great idea.

Great idea Ophis. I think I can get this implemented today.

Great news. Thanks.

Yes, this would be a great improvement

VLS · January 13, 2013, 09:46:32 PM

It's implemented

VLS · January 13, 2013, 10:08:56 PM

Hmm, perhaps a split view of recent topics + recent posts can be implemented later.

Say 15 recent topics /15 recent posts, or so. Just musing..

Excellent. It's spam proofed. The only thing now is to ban those that spam it with new topics. The trolls can still revive tons of old threads. But they would give themselves away as trolls.

I would like to see more information in this area:

An icon that says unread topics. As the orange icon with the word new coming out in other sections.

Perhaps display as a mini-section with information on the topic as it appears in the main section. First poster, total views, last reply. This would give a better look to the space than only the single topic link.

The improvement of this area is important because it is the reason to scroll to the bottom and is utilized as a quick guide to read the forum for all.

Also please bring the news section as the old forum. Casino and online news.

Thanks if the requests materialize.

Good ideas dear Walter. They are possible but will have to wait until next forum re-install. It's not too much longer, it is scheduled for the week of the 10th to 16th of this month.

"Ping" me once the re-install is done regarding your request.

Chances are they will materialize; all of them
