Mission Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Stynky has done a really good job of keeping the forum software up-to-date. The folks behind the software have a user group which comes up with cool new ideas that get added whenever the software is updated, but that aren't explained to us plebians. I happened to find this one by accident, and it's worth sharing: You'll find it on every forum index page (including 'View New Content' and 'Recent Postings' as I've shown here). It allows you to see a brief preview of the first post on the forum index pages so that you don't actually have to go into the post to view it and then back out again to get to the forum index page again. (That may be confusing...just move your mouse over to the right of the post listings and one of the little icons will be that little white and green thing the giant arrow is pointing to. Click on it and see what happens.) Maybe you've found something cool by accident? If so, let us know about it here! (I have doubts even Stynky knows what's been added with each new upgrade.)

But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hey, thanks, Mission, for finding that little trick. I've used it a few times lately. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Ransom Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 JT, do you really want to go there? LOL ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Stynky Tudor Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Um *cough* *cough*, of course I knew it was there. . . I know everything. (Actually I didn't have a clue that was even there, I'm sure a lot of stuff like that has come online since the first major install.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Say, this is kind of neat. You can see what the mysterious Guests are viewing by clicking on the 'See full list' link which is located next to the on line user info near the bottom of the forum on the index page. (I noticed several of them are viewing various surgeon threads in Twill when I looked. ) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

Stynky Tudor Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yah, for some reason people find that Surgeon's Journal stuff an entertaining read. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Actually, it's sort of addicting. Guests seem to dig up the weirdest threads to read. I clicked through to one last week that received its last post in 2004. I'm guessing they found it through Google.
