Features: Posts & Topics / Previous/next topics

Feature: Previous/next topics
Developer: Nao (main), Arantor
Target: users
Status: 100% (believed to be complete.)
Comment:
This seems very simple, but the implementation was more complicated than expected, especially in terms of performance. Basically, we thought the "previous/next" topic links in topic pages were misleading. People could be led into believing that these were shortcuts to the next page in a topic.
We 'fixed' it by directly showing the names of the topics involved. As simple as that... But again -- it's nice enough to be considered a new feature. Also, we now offer proper 'previous' and 'next' links in the page links area. (These lead to the next and previous page in the topic, obviously.)

Feature: Merge Double Posts
Developer: Nao
Target: users
Status: 100% (complete.)
Comment:
Some admins don't like when users post multiple messages in a row on a topic. This feature allows them to automatically merge these posts until after a certain delay has passed. Users can also choose to merge posts manually with a Merge button.

Well, that's what I thought anyway: using tags... In regular forums, it's a pretty useless feature, it's more interesting in blogs, so we could simply take the tag list, and try to find posts that share at least two tags with it.

Features: Miscellaneous / Re: SMF bugs
« on May 9th, 2011, 06:28 PM »@Dragooon, Nao: Way way back in the mists of time, when it was being discussed about my being a teamie, Karl actually recommended I go into the beta testers area rather than support because while even then (June 09) it was clear I had the skills, they'd noticed I had a bit of a temper because I care about what I do, and that it might not be ideal for me being on the support team...
@Dismal: First up, that's invalid HTML (center is not part of XHTML as far as I remember, and the br tag isn't like that)

Oh... I'm afraid this would open the doors to Designers' Hell. You don't want your own slice of MySpace, do you?
You should set the font size to a larger one for everyone, instead.

It's not that surprising. Officially, the beta tester group is an 'antechamber' to becoming a teamie. (Either a customizer or a dev -- anything that requires PHP skills.)
However, this is more like an "antechamber to people who're worthy of being in the team but they're not sure about". That's why I stayed there for over two years when some others were in there for a couple of months before becoming devs. (e.g. Nas, who just made half a dozen commits before resigning after months of inactivity.)
In reality, the beta tester group is the SMF team's purgatory. They let you get a taste of development hell, but without the benefits.
Dismal, I don't see anything wrong happening in Wedge with your stuff... Maybe it's the mods' fault or something.

They're like hookers, but without the 'errrr' part, I think.

We already have a 'prev/next' topic feature that runs fine.
Related topics is something I could tackle in the future, it could be fun to develop (and try to make accurate, mind you Pete :P)
As for performance -- if it can be disabled, it's not a problem...
