warn of old topic before posting reply by Thatbitextra
mw3 (prevent horizontal scrollbars) by christian fecteau (not compatible with/disabled in safari)
mark all forums read link in search results topics page by NeRu

also removed non-custom ranks.

edit: post count is now hidden for all three styles in viewtopic.php. to see a user's post count, access their profile, or browse the member list.

edit 2: the first mod broke quoting. no matter which quote button you hit, you will be quoting the final post in the topic. i'm working on a fix now.

edit 3: i have corrected this issue and submitted the fix to the creator of the mod.

what the heck is stack overflow line? And i just notice that ranks are gone. I was wonder why that space looked so empty.

stack overflow line is a problem with the horizontal scrollbar mod. i need to know exactly where you see it and whether it comes back every time.

That'd be pretty serious if... it actually was a problem, at least for me. Anybody actually having this problem?

And man... removing post count... it sounds silly, but I almost think it's sort of resiging the forums to a slide into complete crap.

Ok now there is like super lag it takes about 30 seconds to load and editing and hitting submit makes it worse.

Thanks for disabling. Just wondering why your on probation and how you seem to have access to the admin panel.

Removed user ranks and post count? Awesome.

I want to know how to remove the post count like that, for an upcoming project of mine.

/forumroot/templates/subSilver (etc)/viewtopic_body.tpl

change:

Code:

{postrow.POSTER_POSTS}

to:

Code:

<!--{postrow.POSTER_POSTS}
-->

you must do this in every one of your templates.

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

I'm all for removing post counts, but why the frack are the ranks gone? I thought they were cute. :(

I'd rather keep both. But it's nate's decision, not mine.

Well, removing post count while not removing ranks would be rather pointless. It would give a general idea of where a user is at, instead of an exact.

But as for my personal opinion, I want the user ranks back. Crying or Very sad

EDIT: Almost forgot. I'm not sure of this is a glitch or not,but it has never happened before this and now it happens everytime.

Everytime I view a thread, all the content of the thread comes up, then the page refreshes itself, like if I had hit F5 on my computer. It's not a hinderance or anything, as it happens before I can even drag my mouse over to the scrollbar, but it is somewhat annoying to see happen over and over again.

And it happens everytime I view a thread, and only when I'm viewing threads. Doesn't happen on the boards.

You wouldn't like that? I think it'd be fine to have just ranks an no post count.

It's not that I wouldn't like that (In fact, I'd prefer it to what we have right now) I just personally don't see the point of removing post count without user ranks. This is under the assumption, though, that the reasoning behind the removal of post count is because we don't want people to know what someone else's post count is. If Nate's reasoning behind removing post count was not to keep users in the dark to other users' post count, then I do see the point to keeping ranks without an exact number.

My views all stem from my inability to read minds. >_> So I'll ask. Nate, exactly why did you remove ranks/post count?

EDIT: Oh, and another thing... If user ranks are going to be removed, is there any way to get rid of that extra space between a user's name and their avatar? That does somewhat irk me that there's that blank spot there because it puts out a "There should be something here!!!!!!!!" kinda feeling. It could make some people think that the page hasn't finisbed loaded. Especially if they see a mod/admin with that blank spot filled in.
