Ken_Coles Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Near the top of the new display of a topic it says "outline standard linear." If you try "outline" one of the things you get looks sort of like the old threading display. I can't tell if it goes more than one layer deep; I bet you folks (the usual suspects) will figure that out shortly (where was that thread with the endless nested quotes? That would tell us!). OTOH, the quote buttons have vanished from my browser's display of the forums, though quoting manually still seems to work (I'm not used to the new appearance of quotes yet. Soon enough). Bear with us, we'll see if we can figure out where the quote buttons went (the documentation says they are still there). Ken (off to bed)
Ken_Coles Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 OK, I found the quote button; my browser is losing it off to one side. Maybe it is time I made a dummy account for myself that doesn't have admin rank, so I can see what things really look like. And time I upgraded by browser, too. The Outline display seems to be the first and last post, will all the others listed in order by poster and their first few words. Handy for topics that are way over one page, even if it is not a real "threaded" display. I found some other handy buttons (maybe there were there before and I never noticed) but I'll let you experience those should you be the curious sort.

Ken (off to bed) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ken the QUOTE buttons are visible, but maybe not when you are half-sleeping However I have problems to add an image of 20 kb I see on the bottom left this message: Attachments Global Space Left: 0bytes Does this mean that attachments are passé ?? No.. Paul his fixed it and I can upload the proof that Ken was half-asleep Edited January 4, 2005 by Henk van Aalten

I upped the default max total upload limit for members... Thanks, Paul
Ken_Coles Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 Ken the QUOTE buttons are visible, but maybe not when you are half-sleeping Henk, don't assume that what anyone sees in their Web browser is the same as what you see in yours, especially during an upgrade...Web browsers are all individual after you set them up to suit yourself, and they are the most bug-prone software I normally deal with. The buttons were not there at the time I was writing, and it is because (I think) my Web browser (I was using MSIE 5.2 for Mac at the time, no doubt out of date) was garbling them. It's working now. Onward and upward.
Henk van Aalten Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 (edited) Another interesting option "ignore user". After "ignoring" the user is still visible but the messages are not shown (see attachment). BTW: I had to use "someone" as a guinea pig Edited to add this PS: I'm still looking for the "ignore PA" option Edited January 5, 2005 by Henk van Aalten
Ken_Coles Posted January 5, 2005 Author Posted January 5, 2005 Tee Hee! When you figure out how to do it Henk, let us know!
JimLucas Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Another interesting option "ignore user". After "ignoring" the user is still visible but the messages are not shown (see attachment). Is it recursive? I.e., can you select "Ignore anyone who's ignoring me"?
Nanette Hooker Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 "un-ignore" Is that a new word? I wonder if I can ignore myself!!

David Barnert Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Jim in order to realise this, we should first discover the "Am I ignored?" option. Did somebody say something?
Sandy Winters Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Is it recursive?I.e., can you select "Ignore anyone who's ignoring me"? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jim, It would seem to be counterproductive to have an "Ignore All" button. Actually, I'm just trying to figure out some of the new features. My first impressions are that I *think* I like the 'outline' format. I'm hoping that the outline is built in such a way as to reflect the various quoted posts, establishing a visible tree. I'll know after I post this. Cheers
Sandy Winters Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 The "outline" tree feature seems to work relatively well. There must have been more than just us few lonely souls complaining about the lack of this feature. (We few, we happy few.) Ken, thanks for pointing this out. Nice work.
JimLucas Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 It would seem to be counterproductive to have an "Ignore All" button. And who would want an "Ignore Al" button? ........ Not I!
