    Dunno what you clowns are on about... the old forum software allowed for RSS feeds (I had one for Pro Shop threads ).

    By the way, good work Clikchic!

    It's still going. I think it's struggling with the amount of dribble it has to go through.

    Quick Q

    Can I change the colours . . . is there a "theme" option ?

    OK, a few suggestions as one concerned internet citizen.


    1. All original links no longer work. This includes the entire google index.

    This is bad. Not just because your google presence is now worthless, but any and all links used in posts no longer work. For example, this:

    Code:
    http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showthread.php?t=123456
    is now this:

    Code:
    http://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php?t=123456
    The subdirectory "forums" no longer exists. There should be a redirect to forward all original traffic from the old links to the new one. This can be setup using a .htaccess file in about two minutes. The google index should eventually sort itself out, but all of the old links that exist in previous posts will be broken forever unless it's fixed.

    This is made even worse by:


    2. No 404 pages

    Google will take much longer to re-index the site if it isn't told that the link they are accessing no longer works. Currently all non-existant content is shown the "Home" page with a 200/OK header response. This is not good, especially considering the issue above. All of those broken links are now simply returning incorrect content, rather than instructing browser and search engines that the page no longer exists.


    3. URL rewriting should be used

    This is more of a suggestion than an issue. Vbulletin comes with fancy SEO functionality that changes the URL of threads to something more meaningful (as you have probably already noticed). If you plan to muck with a .htaccess file to solve 1. above, you might as well enable URL rewriting while you're at it. This will make the URLs even prettier and get rid of all of the ?123234&somestuff&othervariable type strings. (That's of course assuming the mod_rewrite is enabled on the host. Which is should be.)



    So to summarise, I would say that 1. and 2. above are critical issues, and major web development no-nos that should be fixed for the sake of usability, accessibility and pagerank.

    In addition, Henno's signature looks awful with the new colours.

    I believe 1 and 2 have been taken care of by redirecting. Correct?

    I might discuss 3 with you via PM.

    It was, until I realised it was just user error. You should come to the same realisation rather soon.

    Is it go to last unread post? Even then it seems to be throwing me to random spots in some threads.

    Any chance of the "Ignore Threads" feature being returned soon?

    I like this function, otherwise I am finding the New Posts function 'cluttered' with large numbers of threads that I have forgotten that I wasn't interested in.

    The modification doesn't appear to be created for vBulletin 4.0 yet, Blakey.

    When you reply you can see the Bold, Italic etc symbols, but when you edit and even go advanced, they are not available. Is this how it should be ? Seems weird to have them in one spot and not the edit ?

    When was the last time you edited a post, before you saw this "issue", 3? It's in your settings, so it would have been the same before.

    Go to your settings: http://www.ozgolf.net/profile.php?do=editoptions
    And change your Message Editor Interface to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing"

    The toolbar may very well be new to the quick reply and quick edit. I can't recall.

    Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere (but it probably has), will we be going back to having opening posts stuck at the top of each page in a thread in the forums where this was the case previously?
    Forum needs more banter.

    I hope so, but it isn't part of the standard forum. I haven't searched really hard, but that mod hasn't been created yet, so it's out of my control.
