Nick U Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Great new site....... Was wondering if it was possible that when you hover your mouse over a topic the dialog box appears and you can read whats in the post for the first 10 lines or so. It happened on the old site and I thought it was very usefull. It ment that you could read quiet a bit of the first post to see if it was worse clicking into. Not sure if it's possible but I certainly found it very useful before...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 it's on the 'to do list' but may take while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Yep - certainly on the to do list, but this particular modification has the pottential of slowing the site down somewhat. If you can imagine, when you click unread posts, the server as to search for all topics that have posts made since your last logon, and display those topics - not a huge calculation, but enough. Now imagine that along with that search, it also has to pull the first x lines of each of these posts, the ammount of data required grows at an alarmng rate. We can look at this, and it is on the list - but it may not be put in place - the busier this forum gets, the more concious we have to be about the complexity of any forum modifications.

I thought that might have been the case. Probably better that the site is able to run at a better speed. Good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
