Sorry. The forum-filtering code has been tested by the alpha-people for the last week or so. It will be deployed here tomorrow I guess.

It is now possible to rate the forum entries. See below or up :-).

I spoke (typed?) too soon.
Looks like the count's averaging again...

I don't know wheather this is on your to do list, but if I click back in my browser and have rated some message, it will be counted once more.

[edit]
And I can vote for myself ;-).

Exactly what I ment by "not fully functional".

Voting for one self is because people sometimes make doubleposts etc so this way they can signal what they think about their own posts.

Janus,

Sorry for the off topic post, but I don't have your email address. Did I read somewhere that you are looking for mirror sites for the BOINC download network?

I have a whole load of server space and bandwidth available if you need it.

And more on topic:
The system should be fully functional now.
Please be wise when you rate posts and have a look at what rating a post already has before rating it. This feature wont be much worth if people dont use it wisely...

+/- rating is great! I see it's already being used. It'll probably drop me down to -INF before I ever know it! ;-D

What do the yellow pages mean in the upper left-hand corner? Also, is it possible to send the nickname of the respondent in the emails for forum subscriptions? And finally, is it possible to ask a user for the language(s) used in a post?

This is getting better and better all the time... Keep it up! :-)

> What do the yellow pages mean in the upper left-hand corner?
Means unread post.

Janus,

Also: "ID: 42272 / Rating: -9.9920072216264E-15 - rate: + / -" Maybe the ratings should be allocated with an integer value?

Noted

Nah, it should be rounded when output. Noted. The database does not store the number you see on your screen, it stores 2 numbers (average and vote-count) and multiplies them to get the actual rating.

Votes are stored on the server (only secure thing to do). If you can somehow vote twice please try to debug and see if you can find out when, how, and why it happens - or at least give me something solid to search for.

To be honest, I think not. This would force users to always select what language they use in a particular post - which would make posting more timeconsuming... Im afraid you will have to stick with the current system in this regard.

Is it possible, when displaying the message board threads in browser, to let the page name contain also the thread name (e.g. "something .... comments @ new forum features?" for this thread) instead of common "SETI@home: Message boards" only?

Hey Janus, the feature where the page bounces you to the newest entry is really cool, but there is one annoying quirk. On long messages (such as this one) the page takes a while to load, and the bounce doesn't happen until the page is fully loaded, including graphics and everything. What ends up happening is after waiting a minute for the bounce to happen, I just start scrolling down and reading the thread, then the bounce happens and I'm suddenly somewhere else. Is there a way to make the bounce happen BEFORE everything is loaded?

I think the problem are the signatures which move the site downwords from the jumped position.

Exactly. If the code told the browser to jump before it had everything loaded the loading images would cause the page to appear to scroll upwards while the last images get loaded. This is why the jump-script only jumps when all images etc has been loaded.

Later on there will be a feature that cuts large threads into pages - this will reduce the amount of images that need to be loaded, and thus reduce the amount of waiting time for the jump to occour...
