Chris Maunder,
What is the Trademark of this forum software ?
Who is the author of it ?
Which significant features of it
still keep you using it ?
|
|
|
|

We wrote it and we like it because it does what we need and works well with our system.
cheers,

Is it possible to eliminate the Precipice (Chasm)
between the fact of that you like your product (~CPF~)
and the fact of that an indefinite wide group of Space Humans
can not adapt themselves to use it ?
Is CPF open source product ?
ps.
How can a user get a quote of the original post
which he is replying to
to insert it in his reply at the preferred forum ?

Chris Maunder,
would you like to create additional board
devoted to SMF development ?

I am sick and tired of Kyle and Tim Craig consistently replying to everything I post regardless if its humor, a helpful advice, or just simple conversation. I know if I post something about cough syrup or troll I deserve a sh*tty reply, but if I'm in the lounge I do not need Kyle or Tim Craig shitting on me. I have no more tolerance for it and harassment should be punished accordingly. An email should be sent warning these folk that if they continue, their account will be deleted and if they create a new one and their identity is discovered, it should be deleted again. People like this should be indefinitely regected from this online community. I know I have posted some sh*tty posts and If I do it again, delete me and do the same for others.

You have made explicit and graphic physical threats against another person on our forums. Regardless of any provocation this is unacceptable and against the law.
Your account has been removed.

Hey Chris,
His article has not been deleted though :-
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Slitherz.asp[^]
So he won't be able to address any posts in that artcle's forum. Is there a way to allow him to post there (just on his article)? If not, shouldn't his article also be deleted?

If the post has replies, don't actualy remove the post, just replace the contents with a message. Like when a message gets marked as spam.
I hate when someone deletes a topic with replies. The replies get left floating around, and get mixed up in other topics. And then if someone replies to your loose reply, it usually doesn't end up underneath it, but somewhere else.

You aren't the only one. I usually put the original message in my post, so if the OP deletes it, and someone else comes along wondering what the question was, they've got it.

A post will sink out of sight as new posts are added. I suggest that if a top-level post is modified by its author, the whole thread should be moved to the top of the forum (this includes article forums). I realize this could also be accomplished by simply posting a new message, but what I suggest will preserve existing comments.

Ironically, this[^] issue is being discussed in the lounge right now.

Not ironically at all, actually. John's concerns were about wading through hundreds of posts to find his thread. I think this can be solved by a combination of 1) getting an email notification when someone responds to your post; and 2) using a permalink to quickly jump to the thread you started.
What my suggestion addresses is the situation where an op adds details or clarifies a post. In that case, previous viewers of his post may have a better answer for him, and so it is appropriate to move the thread to the top.
Note that I am suggesting that the thread be moved to the top only when the top-level post has been modified, which is different (I think) from what others have suggested.

We've discussed this many times and the issue always comes back to: what do you do about those who continually add "well? Can someone answer me?" posts to their question thread in order to have it appear at the top.
What I would like to do instead is introduce a thread view similar to BBS style boards that can be sorted by thread start date or last thread update date.

Fortunately you have already implemented an answer for that - downvoting. Please don't let the actions of a few retards cause you to affect the many that this suggestion would help.

This would certainly not be helpful. Just because some Satips posts a ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) , I don't want to see it pop up to the top. If the OP modified the top-level post, it should go to the top.

A thread view option with the option of sorting by last update.
It won't affect anyone except those who choose to use it.

But then this is no different from someone simply touching their initial post to bump it, 9am every morning.
Maybe a combination of: bump no more than once a day, bump no more than 3 times (or whatever)

Ah. So "the ridiculously long, multi-topic, never-ending thread of doom" only gets the top spot for the first few hours each day?
Yeah, that might work.
