Just checked WHo's on line it only showed me-??

Some Setting didn't come over with the upgrade and some tweaks are required. Image attachments should now work.

Nice pit

Whos on is now working. Default after upgrade was to display whos was here in the last 0 minutes. I modified it to display who has been here in the past 15 minutes.

The pit is my little girl named Chloe. She is as friendly as the picture looks.

I found where the flame icon is listed in the admin section. It is currently set to display if there are more than 20 replies or 100 views. This can be set globally and Rick need to know what to set this too. I am sure some input from everyone would help. When would you like to see the hot topic icon show up? How many replies and how many views?

Chad,
I don't think we need that flame icon at all. Can't it just be totally disabled?

Chad,
Next thing is the forum search engine, which is not working.

I like the flame icon! Note that once the forum gets completely "birthed" it will only show up on a few posts in the list - not all of them like it does now.

Are you saying that it won't continue to show after a while? If it is set to show after say a 100 viewings won't it then stay that way forever?

At least change the color so it looks like flame. Now it looks like a miniature cat being electrocuted.

Maybe I should go back into counseling . . .<img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I have not found a way to completely disable it, unless we make it only display if there are 10000000 replies or 100000000 views. Most threads will not show up then. However, it you look at the current threads and look at the number of replies and views on them, we can determine what should be marked as a hot topic. Maybe it should be 10000+ views and 30 replies? This is why I am asking for some suggestions.

I will look into the search engine shortly.

Jake, so what do you think in terms of how many views and how many replies before the flame icon shows up? I still don't understand the reason for it. I just find it annoying. You can easily see how many views and how many replies, and I would rather see the original icon with the original post. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Or how about this one.

If it ain't broke don't fix it (smiley)

Just testing to see what this "Quick Reply" thing is about.

Looks like 'hot' topics get in excess of 30-40 replies.

I'd have thought that a better way of measuring whether something was particularly popular was >x replies in 24 hrs or something along those lines?

The way it is set is on the total number or replies and views. If you want it disabled, we can increase the number to a very high number so that no thread will ever be marked as a hot topic.

I like the quick reply option, this is sweet!

Anyway on my forums we have hot topics that have over 200 views and over 30 replies. Maybe here you can set it to over 50 replies and over 300 views. This forum does have quite some traffic.

Hmmm, guess it is just what it says, for quick exchanges back and forth. In the subject line it automatically puts in the name of the person who posted right before you.

So, you don't use this if you are responding to somebody else farther up the thread. Right? In that case you would click on "Reply" in the specific post and user you are answering.

I'm still not sure what it is or does. Somebody else please figure it out for me.

It does what it says on the tin......

Looks like it allows you to reply to the last post in the thread.

You get all your text in place and then add your smilies, links or attachments.

I have modified the hot topic so the flame image will only show up when a thread has 200+ views or 30+ replies.

Also, keep in mind that we can change the image it is using. If you want something more appropriate for the site, our suggestions are appreciated.
