New Site Feature - Favorites

[larryd]

ive been really bored the last couple nights so I decided to go ahead and write my own new mod for the website called favorites.. Alot of you may remember something similar to this back when we used Ultimate BB.. Anyhow basically you can subscribe to each forum you read on a daily basis and then use the link

<img src="http://www.newcelica.org/forums/images/top_favorite_new.gif">

in the top right corner under the banner to take you to your favorites page. It will only show you the forums you want to see and your private messages if you have any in the same display order that would be shown on the main page of the site.

I know most of you could care less but personally I hate clutter and having umpteen billion forums is clutter to me, being able to only view the ones i wanna see is much much better..

So the link if you want to bookmark it is

http://www.newcelica.org/forums/favorites.php

the only downfall is after you post in a forum and exit out it will bring you back to the main page, thats not something I can change..

Hey funny enough I just found it and made it my new bookmark to come here. It's nicer than using the "usercp" as my bookmark. That works by the way. I "subscribed" to about 8 forums that I look thru. Then when I click on "usercp" it shows me only those 8 forums not the 1000 other ones we have. Sorta works the same as the "fav" button. Fav is a little shorter. Less detail. Either way.

exactly.. favorites is the same thing as usercp with less junk on the page and it displays the forums in the right order ;)

Hey - is there a way to subsribe to a specific thread, so that I get email notification when a new post goes up - even without posting to the thread myself?

[larryd]

for some reason subscribing to threads disapeared when I upgraded the forums, ive yet to figure out why that happened.. but I was pondering turning off email notifications anyhow because so many people on the site leave it on as default and have old bogus email addresses registered that we get a TON of delivery failures every day

Hey Larry...just out of curiosity...why didnt you post this in "NewCelica.org News & Rules " ..isnt that why you created that one?

[larryd]

yeah ill moe it over there in a day or two.. just wanted to post it here so everyone actually reads it before i move it :)

[BlackGTS2002]

Oh ok...hey one more thing...cant you post the same thread in multiple forums at the same time?..just wondering....as i sit here waiting to go home!

[larryd]

can you yes, its against the site rules so i dont do it either

[BlackGTS2002]

acctually that was a stupid question.."as i remember when you made the rules on every forum...."
