Forum Question..

[elisiX]

Hi Admins,

There is something that bugs the hell out of me with this forum and that is when I reply to a thread, that there is no simple way to get back to the main index page or sub forum I was last in. For example, some forums will have a feature that once you post, the next screen that shows gives you the option to view your last posted message or to return to the last sub forum you visited. There is a timer running in the background before it loads your last message.

In other words, once I post in a thread in the Breitling sub forum, I can go straight back into the Breitling sub forum after posting or alternatively I can go straight to the bottom of the page and view my last post. My problem currently is that once I post, it automatically loads the thread again in full and I am constantly scrolling up to find the sub forum tag at the top to return. With it still loading though it constantly brings me back down to the last post.

Another option i've seen is that those links across the top (Repgeek.com > Breitling > Dave has a big one) are also posted at the bottom of the page so you can easily click back to the sub forum, or main index page. Not sure if any of this is possible with vbulletin but I noticed this works very well on a few other forums I frequent.

Cheers in advance.

Maybe I am not understranding your question but ...


I always come in and view 'New Posts'. It only loads everything that has occured since my last visit. If I find something I want to reply to, I simply 'Quick Reply'. post, and it shows my post at the bottom, Then I simply hit back on my browser and it takes me right back to where I left off in the list of new posts so I can continue until I am through with all the new stuff.

If you need to 'quote' someone, you can do so, then post. You will need to hit back on your browser 3 times to take you back to where you left off on the new posts lists, but it still takes you back to right where you left off.

Does that address your question in any way???

If i say the members want one,they want one.

Never noticed?...

I'm not really following Jay's issue either QB...

Repgeek.com > Breitling > Dave has a big one

There is a reason that there is no "Dave has a big one" subforum.

I never doubted that you are a man of the people Dave, and you represent our Canadian members proudly.

Sylar or Inferno can let us know whether a shoutbox is possible with our system.

Thanks Niko,you must have looked at the watch you are wearing right now,enjoy that SA..

We can have a shoutbox,man is Anubis going to be busy though...

[elisiX]

I didnt realise there was a quick reply feature on here! w00t!

The im speaking of is just really frustrating. Its like your scrolling to the top to get to the sub forum links etc, but it takes you back down.

This can happen quite a few times if the thread is full of pics. However it seems as though the quick reply solves this.

Would still like to see 1 or two of the options I suggested if the forum format can do it.

[Niko]

Yes, that was my next thought.

We will have to have a rule that you cannot use the chatbox unless Anubis is online!

Even Jackal headed Gods of the afterlife need to sleep!

I will mod the shoutbox for you,we will keep it down to four letter words only.....

Jay buddy,you just noticed the quick reply box?..

[macscac]

quick reply is the only way to post imo

[elisiX]

You know what - I probably did notice it in the past but didn't realise it would solve the issue of the page reloading.

[elisiX]

Oh and while were making suggestions. I'd love to lose that scrolling thread bar across the top.

It gives me a headache.
