Two suggestions

[DavidB]

If you go into 'New Posts' and there are no new posts, then can you still display the Menu Bar? Then I don't have to do a second request to see if I have any PMs.
(I'm not just being lazy - I frequently look at the forum via a mobile phone link, and pay by the MB.)


Secondly is it possible to set up an Ignore List for threads as well as members?

I asked this exact,tongue in cheek, question last time there was such heated debate on the forum.

Lets see if your Eminence :worthy: receives any better response, than the dismissive patronising that I received. :devil:

Patronising ? Hope that wasnt me then :)

:yeah: to both those suggestions - expecially the latter...

Good suggestions, but as the vBulletin software doesn't have these features I'd imagine it will be rather difficult to make them happen. Sorry. :sad:

The Australian forum managed to do the first suggestion, and they use vBulletin as well. Well I can't find any way of doing it in the vBulletin system I run, so I'd guess they are either using a non-standard addition to vBulletin, or a different version that I'm not familiar with... :confused:

Or I'm just blind or stupid or both. :blush:

Figured it out... the template for "STANDARD_ERROR" in each style would need to be edited and "$navbar" added on a new line after "$header". I've tested in on my own forum system and it seems to work.

So that's how the first suggestion could be implemented...

Second one is trickier, but there is a "hack" out there which adds this feature. (I'm just not sure I'd install it, as hacks can make it difficult to upgrade vBulletin afterwards without breaking things. :sad: Maybe this feature will be in vBulletin 3.5, coming RSN... :wink: )
