Hi Corey,
 
I tried out the search engine and it works great and is very fast!  I just have one question/request which I don't know if this would be feasible...
 
Is there any way we can also have another field added into the search: a time frame window (eg, so we can do a search of all posts from, say, 3/5/02 to 12/11/03, or even just month/year format -->03/02 to 12/03)?  Otherwise, on very popular discussion issues, even if we restrict our search to a specific forum, it's very difficult to do searches that would produce results from over a year ago.  Otherwise, the search seems to work really well!

Sure.  That should be no problem.  Thanks for your thoughts.
Corey

Corey, the "subscribe to this thread" function was working for me early yesterday but sometime during the day it stopped working. There were some subsequent responses to the Faith/Faithfulness thread which I didn't receive email notification. Anyone else?

Subscribe is working now. Do you have to be logged in to receive notification?

Di,
 
No, you shouldn't have to be logged in to receive notification.  Let's keep our eyes on this and let me know if you spot a pattern to it.

Hi Corey,
The new search is nice and fast. Thanks.

P.S. could you add the user name to the search criteria?

Currently you can search for either "Posts" or "Posted By" by using the drop-down list.  This is kinda a dumb feature though because it looks like it would give you EVERYTHING by GregBoyd, for example; no filtering.  I'll re-write this area too when I get a chance.

Corey, fyi...the notification feature bugged out for me again sometime after Tom's 3:03 p.m. post yesterday.  That was the last notification I received on the Faithfulness thread.

Hi Corey,
I came across another small bug (I think). Look at any of the posts that occur exactly one year ago from today, and though the posts happened in 2004, in the top part of each post, it states "Posted Today at... " "Posted Yesterday at... " etc. Just a quick FYI ;)

If this doesn't make sense, let me know, and I'll try to be a bit clearer... gotta go to class now!

I think I'm probably going to delete the current Safe Haven, unless there's some sort of outcry in protest.

Corey, I got some catchin' up to do again! Only pattern I can tell is it works during the day (once I go in and check the thread) but stops sending notifications for some reason. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Here's an outcry in protest.  Leave it, it'll get used.
 
I wish you had some experience on the last board, knew some of the participants and what went on, it sure would have been helpful.

What if we use the "safe haven" as a place to carry on conversions that have gotten out of hand in the regular forums ?

Not necessarily using "safe haven" as a place to start threads, but to continue those that have been abused.

Just a thought...

peace, don

How about a profile option to have the newest post show up all the time at the top of page one? and the last post on the last page would be the first post made.

I'll look into it.  Sounds reasonable.

OK, no problem.  I was getting the impression that it was not meeting any needs since it wasn't being used.
 
What should I know about the last board that would be helpful?

Hey Corey,

Just a quick question. Do you have any plans to expand the smilie list? I think the existing ones are great, but there were some on the previous board that would be nice to have and others that I've seen on other discussion boards that might be nice. It's no big deal though. Just wondering.

rolleyes

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the rolling eyes inappropriate? What purpose does it serve other than as a snide, shorthand way to communicate contempt and disdain, ie, “gee, could you be any dumber”. And why would this board want to sponser that? I just find it obnoxious. But like I say, maybe its just me.

Okay... <<poof>> it's gone.

I was able to add back in some of the old ones while I was at it.

I'm guilty! nono  I guess it never occurred to me that it might be offense in that way.  Sorry JET, I will try to refrain myself in future post.  Funny, I never roll my eyes in person.
 
Thanks,
 
Mark

Okay, I think I know what's going on.  The forum only notifies you that there are some new posts, and doesn't notify you of each individual post within that forum.  So, once it send out a notification of new posts, it won't send another notification until you've first viewed the current unviewed posts.  Make sense?
 
Here's a line from the email notification that gets sent out:
 
You will not receive another message regarding additional posts on this thread until you view this thread again.
