Hi Luke,
I thought I would check to see if the forum niggles that we discussed in this thread back in April are sorted. You mentioned they were 'simples' but I caught you just as you were leaving for your hols!

It's easy to lose this things as time goes on when they are buried in different topics, hence this post :¬)


>>Back Slashes
The forum removes backslashes like this: >> << when the post is submitted.


>>User Profile Links
It would be nice if external links to customers websites opened in a 'new window/tab' so that you aren't taken away from the Freeola website.


>>Post Time Stamps
It would make sense if the posted and edited time stamps were in the same format.

i.e. 'Edited' time stamp is in 24 hour format , the 'posted' time isn't.


---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------

Quoted Links [resolved]
When users quote a previous post that contains links they are split over two lines.
Here's a test: freeola broadband speeds
EDIT: It looks like this issue has been resolved!
...along with Warhunt's suggestion of putting the OP username in bold etc.

Just to add to 'forum niggles'...


When visiting websites listed in users profiles could you change these links to open in a 'new window' ?

This would be similar to how your other links to external sites works.


Thanks.

BTW: You can use a double backslash to show one backslash if you are desperate.

I know this isn't the major issue, quotations are. I hate the old school >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> use of "greater than" signs.

Thanks Luke.

For completeness here's the post where you mentioned sorting out the 'stripslashes' problem.

It's at the bottom of my list of todos, and I haven't quite found an adequate solution you see. Ideally I would like the quoting system to work more like
Some quoted text
, but it requires both my time and time to check I haven't made things worst.

So I am afraid it most definitely is on the list, but most definitely not as important as InstantPro upgrades/fixes, and "other stuff".

Thanks for keeping on top of me though ^__^

TESTING
The back slash is still a problem, and the above shows that links are still split.

Worth sorting when you have a moment :¬)
Thanks.
