dBoard 4.0 Release

I've just released a few minor enhancements for Private Messaging:

• Message lists now include the To column.
  ​
• Your member profile now allows you to select that you would always like your name added to the BCC list.
  ​
• When viewing a message, the Prev/Next buttons on the right now have improved labels, when appropriate. For example, when viewing in time order the labels are Newer/Older instead of Prev/Next.

This is an easy fix, I'll probably get to it tonight.

This should be fixed, but I only had time for superficial testing. Please let me know if you encounter any further problems.

Yes, you've got it. What you said before didn't sound like this, sounded like you wanted a complete member list with an include/exclude setting for each member. Yes, this is true. Good point.

This is a good idea, I'll put it on the todo list. I probably wouldn't do a folder of bookmarks, but instead add a dropdown menu on each thread page with the member's bookmarks. The top item would be bookmarks for the current thread, and if has bookmarks for other threads they would come later, and you could have optional notes, e.g.: Should also be possible to include bookmarks for any page, not just thread pages.

Hi Panda,I'm hoping to do more with it then just bookmarks, though I think even just bookmarks would be very useful. I wouldn't like cluttering up my main bookmark list with a bunch of bookmarks specific to EvC Forum. While you can organize your bookmarks hierarchically in any browser, no browser makes this very easy, and there would be no organizing by thread or forum or other possible keys. Organizing bookmarks hierarchically is a dreary exercise.But beyond organization, imagine the utility of being able to read a message then click on a little link next to it that added it to your EvC Forum bookmarks, all organized by forum and thread. Another click and the bookmark is removed. If a portion of your bookmarks were organized like this: Imagine being able to click on The Eyes Have it and having displayed a page with just those messages. I'm sure there are other possibilities.Of course, I won't be getting to this anytime soon.

All the spammers messages are deleted, so I need to know which threads you've discovered were affected.

Jar and Nwr,Thanks for the info, problem is fixed. The algorithm for determining the oldest unread message already handled the case where it was missing (deleted), but the MySQL query was erroneously including both deleted and normal messages (deleted messages aren't actually deleted, they're just marked with a delete flag - actual removal from the database requires an expunge). The message display code *does* check the deleted flag and issues the message when it is handed a message with that flag.I regret I can't test better, but I've written more code than I can test. This kind of help is really valuable, so thanks again.

Thanks for the detailed information, that gives us a real head start. The problem is a bit unusual because it concerns something that has been basic and fundamental to Javascript for a long time. The "style" field of displayed HTML objects has been there since almost the beginning, and the error is saying that the "style" field for a basic "div" object does not exist. I don't see how that could happen.Many links on EvC webpages bring up a hoverbox of information when you hover over them. What happens when you hover over other links, such as members' names or the message links like the "Message 324" that you see at the top of bottom of this message. Do you get the same error?Have you tried shutting down and restarting IE? Or rebooting?--Percy

You're on Eastern Time, right? Then you should see 11:35 PM as the time of your message, and 12:01 AM the following day as the time of your edit. Are you seeing something different?

I think that must be it, that the edit page has it wrong for those using "Discussion Board Time" instead of the local time of their computer. It's a bug, I've added it to the list.

Your wish is my command (who'da thought!).You now have to include "center" to have it centered - the default is left. Let me know if you find any problems.--Percy

When you do this: Then you haven't closed the bold tag, so everything will be bold, like this:

Oh, yes, I see your point now. Yes, there could be better encapsulation. A new version of the software will be coming out (not sure when) where making this change would make the most sense. I'll put this on the todo list.
