AutoHotkey Community

[Chris]

Some forum improvements have been made; thanks to all of you who suggested these great ideas:

• Added RSS for both English and German forums (sorry it took so long). If you're using an RSS-aware browser like Firefox, it should display an RSS icon in the address bar. For other RSS software, the URLs are:
  
  • English: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/rss.php
    
  • German: http://de.autohotkey.com/forum/rss.php
• Pre-focused fields on the following forms: Reply, New-Topic, Private Message, and Search. This cuts down on the number of mouse clicks you have to do before typing.
  
• Improved Search Form: It now defaults ALL rather than ANY (which seems far more popular). There's also a new option to search titles only.
  
• The "font color" option can now be used in [code] sections, which is useful to bring attention to certain words or lines.
  
• The inability to post messages containing chr(any number) has been fixed (it's apparently a server-specific issue).
  
• There is a link on the forum's main page to revert to your prior visit(s). This allows you to visit the forum briefly to read private messages, etc. Then you can come back hours/days later and click the "revert" link to so that features like "View posts since last visit" will ignore that brief visit. This feature remembers your two previous visit dates; that is, you can click the link twice before it disappears (until your next visit).

By the way, perhaps a German speaker could provide a better translation for the following:
English: revert to prior visit
German (crude): schalten Sie zum vorhergehenden Besuch um

More suggestions for the forum are welcome (though I prefer simple ones because these mods have to be researched, discovered, or written from scratch).

Thanks.

Oh, for Firefox users, there is another improvement I use: with the GreaseMonkey extension, which allow to change Web pages on the fly, I use a script named "PHPBB Redirect Remover" (found on UserScripts.org, there are other phpBB related scripts there).
So when I click Submit in the Reply page, I don't get that silly page that makes me clicking to or waiting for the updated topic.

You can do that with Opera also, witch is much much faster then FF. U can set per page if you want javascripts, custom javascripts, cookies, anything.

Great improvements! Code colouring and RSS are especially useful, thanks.

PhiLho, I also find the redirection page annoying. I think it should be totally removed because you get to see your message anyway.

These features would also be beneficial:

• Allow formatting in code blocks, e.g.

  Code:

  [b]bold[/b] / [i]italic[/i] / [u]underlined[/u] / [url=www.google.com]URL[/url] / [size=9]small font[/size]

  
  
• Automatic conversion of all command names to their docs reference

  Example message wrote:

  MsgBox -> MsgBox

I guess I'm taking advantage of the updates, but I really think the first one is worth having.

Thanks AGU for the translation. I've applied it.

Concerning the redirect page that appears after you post a message, I wonder if anyone likes it. Although it may have some value as a confirmation page, it's probably not enough to offset the annoyance of its delay. Perhaps a poll is in order.

Hi,
superb. I'm looking forward to use it.....

At another thread we discussed to add the links
View previous topic :: View next topic
at the end of the page.
If you have read the thread you have to scroll up (or press home) to see the links at the top of the page.

I would like to see this 3 lines changed in the php-code


Ciao
