Suggestions for tweaks

**martin_b** · 04-05-2011, 01:03 PM

Thought I would start this thread with suggestions for tweaking the new forum software. Gus probably has lots of items he will change in time on his to-do-list, so feel free to delete this thread if it is redundant.

One thing I would like to have changed is the automatic subscribe every time you either start a new thread or reply to an existing one. I would like that feature to be opt-in as it was on phpBB.

What do you think, Gus?

Nope, post 'em if you have them! I'll make a list!

Martin -

Go to your settings menu (Click Settings up in the right top of the page) and follow this path:

Settings --> General Settings --> Messaging and Notification --> Default Thread Subscription Mode

Widths can be fixed or fluid with mins, it's a variable that can be set in the control panel...

I have not added any smilies yet, purposely.

But will.

Yes, widths can be either fixed or fluid, based on a variable set in the control panel and dependent upon the theme you're using.

As far as evaluation goes as well, also know I have the CMS and blog functions currently disabled... But will be working on the CMS functionality first once I'm comfortable with the forums functioning, then enable userblogs for people to use, or not.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm really liking this new software; it seems to have it all!

And I seem to have gotten a new custom title, awesome!

I found a pack of smilies that I liked (didn't like the "stock" ones so much...) so they are available! You have to "Go advanced" when posting to get the list to pick from, or you can add them by text as always.
