When I would make posts with hard returns in them to separate lines, they didn't show up in IE. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/recent-replies-sorted-by-most-recent-reply#post-29731 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:27:41 +0000 The Geek 29731@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yes, that's the #1 rule around here: everybody has to be friendly! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/recent-replies-sorted-by-most-recent-reply#post-29728 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:05:31 +0000 jmcguire 29728@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Sounds good.</p> <p>I hope to see what changes you have planned in the future.</p> <p>By the way, I really enjoy using these forums because everyone is helpful and kind, whereas most forums you are berated multiple times before any actual help is given. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/recent-replies-sorted-by-most-recent-reply#post-28796 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 04:32:33 +0000 The Geek 28796@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I must have missed that post entirely...</p> <p>Good suggestions, the user profile section is horrible and disorganized. =) I've got a lot of upgrades planned, but unfortunately most of them require a chasm in the space/time continuum.</p> <p>And you are always free to suggest whatever you'd like. In fact, you are free to email me anytime you want if you have suggestions. Don't worry about offending, I typically like honest feedback. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/recent-replies-sorted-by-most-recent-reply#post-28782 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 02:35:43 +0000 jmcguire 28782@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Anyone have any feedback, criticism, additions, changes, etc. to my idea? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/recent-replies-sorted-by-most-recent-reply#post-24138 Tue, 13 May 2008 01:48:50 +0000 jmcguire 24138@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>In the profile, currently recent replies and threads started are sorted by most recent created being listed first and are two separate groups. This functions well and serves its purpose. I feel though that some improvement could be made to make this site even more user friendly than it already is.</p> <p>My suggestion to make this list more organized, and in some ways more readable:</p> <p>Combine the lists, placing a symbol (such as a star) next to posts the user created.<br /> - Currently the same post can (and does) appear under both lists.<br /> - This would make the list smaller by getting rid of duplicates and in the process, clean the page up slightly.</p> <p>Have the lists sorted by most recent reply.<br /> - Currently the list is sorted by most recently created.<br /> - This makes it easier to access more recently active posts.<br /> - A post created today may be solved in 10 minutes, but a post created last month, may still be heavily active.</p> <p>Displaying replies as unread.<br /> - Currently the unread replies are displayed as a different font color.<br /> - This is a great idea, but the difference is very small.<br /> - In addition to the color change, having the text bold would allow it to stick out more.</p> <p>I do not mean to offend anyone with my suggestions. This is honestly the most helpful and nicest forum I have ever used.</p> <p>Thank you. </p>
