this is very much a test

How did it go?

 

[Theseus Mock]

Is there an option to disable the hoover box/text that appears when you hover over a forum thread link? It's useless eye candy with redundant information.

 

[Theseus Mock]

This number beside 'What's New?', how do I get rid of it?

Log out?

"Mark Forums Read" does it

That's the thing, marking forums as read just clears the flag. doesn't get rid of it. The information it denotes is the number of posts that have been created since my last visit, which is a useless indicator, I don't read every post here, just the active threads that look interesting.

Noticed that. Replies to older threads (pre-migration) are being published too but that's not so much a biggie. Dust will settle soon.

Actually, having moved off Google Reader, old threads are being re-published as new when a post is updated & this is gonna annoy me again. They shouldn't be announced. Is there an option to only announce newly created threads?

It's not supported natively. Might be when they release 1.2...

for now, what about this - it's a feed of all new threads and new news posts too:

That top-posters thing - please don't ever bring that back

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

I can post again! Saints be praised.

 

[rettucs]

yeah so if you edit a post in the Gig Announcement section it appears on the twitter feed and shitebook as if its a new post.

Can we have that RAWK fingers emoticon thing back?

Is there some sort of forum plugin that will only activate YT embeds when they're clicked on? Whether you're on a slow or fast machine, there's no way to combat against the browser chugging that happens when you load a thread page with 20+ flash embeds.

See boingboing for an example of what they do: http://boingboing.net/2013/10/21/marching-band-does-excellent-m.html (Quick source of that page shows they pull the video preview image from YT, stick a transparent .png of a play button over it, wrap some JS around it so that when it's clicked, an iFrame is activated that then loads the flash video component.)

innnteresting. something similar is available for social sharing buttons, so the FB/ Twatter JS is only loaded when you click the button, although it means an extra click is then needed to like / tweet / shart. The JS it uses breaks other stuff here but i'll see if (a) that can be fixed and (b) the same principle can be extended to video embeds.

Notice for the boingboing implementation, the YT embed autoplays when the iFrame is loaded so no extra click required to play the video.
