On Topic posts now (finally) viewable in Off-Topic
- Thread starter BirdOPrey5
- Start date
Yes it does make sense... a link directly back to off-topic (or all-topic) right above or below the forum jump menu is certainly do-able.
The main difference between this and the new posts / past 10 days option is this adds no additional queries to the database, pulling threads in this way is actually very efficient in the scheme of things... The 'new posts' and similar options run a search which is a lot harder on the server and I was seriously concerned during busy times we might start getting server busy messages or grief from our gracious hosts. Doing it this way adds no additional load to the server except a php if statement.
I purposely didn't bother with the wallpaper subforums as they haven't been used in months, if they ever get traffic I could easily add them. The Amazon subforum should be working.
Ok... No broke per se... But unexpected behavior.Can you give me more info on this broken link? What link is broke?
Use case time...
I am browsing "Off Topic"..
Click on thread to read....
I'm done reading thread. I click back on Forum header in crumb trail above to return to forum. (doing this as opposed to back reloads the forum and marks the read threads as "read" - not bolt[/b])
Poof.. I'm no longer in "Off Topic"... Found myself in some other forum because thats where the thread actually was in the first place.
I get ya...any chance you could get used to using the 'forum jump' menu which is, in my opinion, more intuitively located at the bottom of the post, where you naturally end up anyway? The jump menu now has a direct link to off-topic from any thread. I may be able to add a direct link back to OT in the 'breadcrumb trail" like:
JUOT - Joe's Ultimate Off Topic > Joe's Ultimate Off Topic > [OT] Off Topic Light > Thread Title
but I'm not as confident it will turn out a neat as that... also of course if you are using anything but the very basic theme there is the direct link back to OT in the secondary navbar.
I can try this ^^^... Sounds reasonable.
Sorry...
Idon't know how that happened (that TCR was showing up in OT) but it's gone now.

Good. I just clicked on a thread and a post from TCR opened. Glad kid was not in the office with me.

made this request myself as well... can haz?? similar format at ==> https://www.juot.net/forums/search.php?do=getnew
also, no need for the ahole forum to live on top of all topic anymore right??
Well the Anonymous forum needs to be accessible somehow to make new anonymous threads so yeah, it probably will be staying.
I came back from my vacation and saw this... I thought I was still drunk. What a cluster fawk of disorganization. It completely negates the On-Topic sections.
There's maybe 4 threads at any given time active in OT that are from subforums... You can hardly call that a 'cluster fawk of disorganization'
The bottom line is the vast majority of users don't bother checking the on-topic forums even though they probably have useful info to contribute- so you'd rather those threads never get answered?
Joe, I think over time this thing can work. We've got traffic in the other sections that otherwise might not be there. And in the long term, that's a good thing.There's maybe 4 threads at any given time active in OT that are from subforums... You can hardly call that a 'cluster fawk of disorganization'
Work on a toggle so the sandy vaginas can have what they want.
