hmm... now again: I replied to a post on the 2nd page, my new post appeared on the 3rd page and I was sent to the second page...

if it can be done just by changing some 'prefs'...then this would be fine

Paul's idea I mean...

This is the most weird topic in PlanetZ's history I'm aware of!

EDIT: Yes, indeed, I was taken to page two when I pushed reply on page two. Although there are three pages here.

Immanuel, I finally got the point

I understand the mechanism now but it would be better if we were sent to the page of our just sent posts rather than to the replied post. I mean when I just hit 'reply' button (not he 'quote' button) I would expect to be sent to my newly created reply.

rodos1979 · Post by **rodos1979** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 2:33 pm

I agree! But still...this is an improvement compared to how things were before!

Post by **hubird** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 6:12 pm

in the end John will create AND post all our posts

John, the next step is for the page to open up scrolled down to the new reply. There are many PHP boards that do this and I think you are more than able do make it happen here too.

I talked to a friend who runs a phpBB forum and he tells me the code is included to make what I'm talking about happen. I know that this is a heavily modified version of phpBB but what the heck.

z pHp version is not the latest, but John is a very busy man. The pHp does a decent job IMO. We conversate, solve our problems, get new insight and have good fun. Anyone remember planetz was the role model of a japanese research on the 'ideal' (correct me if I'm wrong) forum.

I'm sure there's a bunch of changes on John's list for this forum, if he ever finds the time... I'm also quite certain that he never expected the planetz Pulsar pages to grow that big.

Yeah, we feel comfortable here

and if one feels comfortable he would like to fell more comfortable which ends, errrhh, doesn't end (???) in an infinite request list

Certainly not in version 1.4 of phpBB which is what our forums are based on. Upgrading to phpBB 2.0 would be a major investment of time (since planetz is so heavily modified).

I spent a while trying to figure out how to make it scroll, back on the day when I made the changes for showing the original page... Couldn't figure it out, so I punted. I do have some other ideas to try, but I haven't had time recently... Hopefully soon!

Cheers,

You're kidding, right? If not, give me a link to it-- that sounds amusing!

Ain't that the truth!

Yeah - I remember that too - the role model story. It was because of our positive way of interacting and also they noted, that it is positive, when the same people are able to both give answers AND ask questions.

John Cooper · Post by **John Cooper** » Sun Aug 08, 2004 11:52 pm

Well, that took me longer than I expected! Lots of little details to get right. Hopefully it's all working now.

When you reply with quote, then it'll take you back to the post you quoted.

If you reply to the topic, it'll take you to your new post (yes, even if it's on a new page

)

If you edit a post, it'll take you back to the post you editied.

Does that all sound reasonable?

Cheers,
-John
