Hi all,

Another day, another update. This time I fixed a few things:

1) There is now a visible "unread" facility on the message list. So you can now scroll down until you see the new "cream" coloured posts with "NEW" next to them! These are posts you have not yet read in the thread.

2) Fixed a Netscape6/7 bug with the header screwing up in the forum and main site, forum now works properly in NS.

3) Fixed the "Messenger" icon.

4) Stopped the IMS icon 404'ing.

Next I'll add a "go to new" button to jump directly to the new messages in a thread (saves scrolling!) and sort out the message posting box (fix the JS a bit, change icons, etc).

Cheers,

Rich

Weird - some of the posts over here are cream, but others are white - butthey all have the "new" next to them:

-white
-white
-cream
-cream
-white <-- ?
-cream

How can that happen?

I love Star Trek.
Especially the Episodes with Starships in.

It's just not rendering the colour scheme properly, if you view the source and see the stylesheet class name for the messages you'll see "UnreadIndexList" and "IndexList" (2 versions of each for alternating colours). What does it say when it appears as white?

The posts will say new next to them if you've not read them before, if they're all cream then that makes sense - you've not read it before. Anyone else notice this? They may be something I've overlooked but it was working fine when I tested it.

Cheers,

Rich

Err okay - well that's different and I'm sure a few others would have spotted it by now! But try this link in your browser:

Got another request:

Could we have a link to the last page for the larger topics?

It would make browsing faster.
