Back on GD, the title of the webpage (what you see in the top of your screen) was always the name of the thread you were viewing, then followed by "Go Discussions". Here, however, the title of the webpage is always "Life In 19x19" followed by the name of the thread. For anyone like me who keeps many tabs open at once, this makes it harder to keep track of which tabs hold what. I think it would be much more useful if the thread name was the beginning of the title. It would still be just as easy to identify the site - someone would just need to develop a favicon, which are easy to make.

This seems minor, but it shouldn't be too hard to change either. Obviously it's not urgent, but it would be nice to see happen at some point.

There is a mark all in forum read button, which can be used for now as i try to gifure out how to make the others work.

The way it works is you click on the foum title name you want to mark read. the mark all read in forum button is in the top right of the blue title bar.

A favicon - yes, this would be really useful for me. I know it sounds really silly, but I have manymany tabs open in my browser, and this is just in one of them, and it's much easier to navigate if the tabs are visually identifiable.

It's one of those non-urgent things that might be quick and easy to do, and if so, it would be very nice!

Many thanks.

A suggestion that I don't think anyone has made so far:
What do you guys think about using the layout that Chuck Thomas made for IgoDojo(if he doesn't mind, of course), or something similar?
I thought it looked pretty smooth.

I'm on 1920x1200, and it looked funny being a small column in the middle to me. It had a nice non-phpBB-vanilla feel to it, but I much prefer having the full width that I get here

I added a simple favicon. Web browsers are completely idiotic when it comes to caching those for some reason, so you may have to restart your browser before it acknowledges it. Or reinstall it...

I hope to eventually make a custom phpbb3 theme for the site, but I may not find the time. If anyone has web design experience and would like to volunteer, please go right ahead. At the very least, I plan to produce a modified theme that fixes some things like the font in the post editor.

I will say that while it's nice to have a theme like this that can stretch to the size of your browser window, it's much more problematic in a lot of ways than a fixed-width layout for many reasons.

Yes, I've done enough web-work to know how annoying it can be when trying to design a consistent style that works on different resolutions ... however, if it ain't broke and all that

Another minor issue which is perplexing me - could submitting a post return you to the updated thread, rather than to a page saying "Your post has been submitted, click here to return to the thread", because the extra clicking makes the forum feel that little bit less slick.

Unless, of course, I'm doing something stupid - I shall now experiment with the buttons and see what "Save" does ...

Save appears, in fact, to save a draft that I can't then find. How deeply intriguing. I'm sure I'm being very stupid; where is the dratted thing hiding?

If you wait a few seconds, then it would automatically redirect you to the updated thread. Older versions of phpbb seemed to give a shorter wait, but newer versions of phpbb seemed to have lengthened this wait.

simpkin, I found that counterintuitive as well... Save looks to me like it would have the same action as post...
Anyway, that draft is in your User Control Page, in "Manage drafts".

Nested hide tags would be nice, if possible

I'd love a line or break between sticky topics and normal ones. I expect all the threads with new posts (and orange icons) to be at the top of some demarcated section or other. It's weird to have to scan over a few sticky threads to find the first new one.

By the way, since I don't think I've said it elsewhere, I'm really impressed by how far these forums have come already. Nice work everyone!

I've added a Sensei's page for admins to keep track of all the planned features/bugfixes. It's not for suggestions (post those here), it's just so admins can have a global todo list to keep track of all the things that are widely agreed should be done all in one place. I've just gotten started on it, so other admins/moderators should feel free to add things I've forgotten, take ownership of todos, etc.

I put it on Sensei's because it's going to constantly be edited and changed, which is something more suited to the wiki format.

How about links within a post opening in another browser tab/window (target='_blank') instead of replacing our beloved forum?

To sig or not to sig, that is the question.

You can do that with a middle-click (or something else, depending on browser and platform), so I wouldn't want to impose that on everyone since individual users can do themselves.

ooh, I disagree. that the one thing I really hated about GD

because the memory for opening a new window/tab isn't freed without restarting the browser (which I never do, until forced)

fwiffo is right, users can do that themselves

Thanks to whoever took my idea (or had the idea themselves) of replacing the title tag with the name of the thread you are viewing. It's much easier to keep track of my tabs now .
