i have no idea if this is possible, but I can see taht the line up of threads within different forums can be altered with different criteria.

Ali_G: Thank you for the suggestion. However, I don't know who are those "loads of people" you mention. Where are they? Are "Loads of people" equal to 20 people? 12? 2? 1?

With as merely as 9 forums on this BB, I fail to see the need for such as option, nor do I see anything wrong with the current order.
Thanks,
bira

Emails say "There may be other replies also, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the board again." but I'm randomly getting more than one email. In the case of the Ferrari Colors for 2002 I received SIX emails.

If you are a frequent visitor to the BB, don't use e-mail notification. Certainly don't use it on threads that are frequently updated.

If there is nothing bad on your side and I didn't knew better, I'd think someone has hacked my login information.
Anyway, I just delete the multiple emails, I just wanted to point out a behaviour that looked anomalous to me. No sweat.

Click on a reply button. There's a big text area that you type the body of your message into.
Actually (after reinstalling WinXP), the text area size isn't that bad now. Perhaps I had some weird config options ;). Oh well...

The 'search in specific thread' is one bloody hard hack to do -- there's been a couple before me who tried

What you can do, is use the search function in your browser to search on a page (of course, if the thread has several pages you will need to run the search in each page).
As for the password - not sure I understand what you mean. Explain?
Thanks

would it be viable for the BB software to refuse to allow posts that contain only an image? every time I see a post that has nothing in it but a stupid rolleyes smiley I have an uncontrollable urge to throttle someone....

I'm not sure if it just takes time but on the same day it doesn't seem to do it.

Yes, your posting total depends on review of your behaviour. We meet once a month and review your behaviour and contribution to the Bulletin Board and should we decide you behaved well, we update your posting count. In fact, it's not even posting count - it's penalty points. Everytime you do something bad, you get a point. And I see you're on 1,550. Not a very good boy, are you
Nice. I don't care what it is ... I was just pointing it out.

I noticed that when a thread contains spoilers, this feature allows you to inadvertently learn the result of a football match!Originally posted by bira
1) it's not a pop-up. It's a simple HTML title="" (same as alt="" for pictures). Hence it has its basic limitations and was not intended to function as a 'window'.
The length of the preview is enough to suggest to you if a thread titled "MS vs Senna" begins with an actual discussion or just a one-liner "Let's talk about this again!". It gives you a glimpse of what the thread is about.

To have an indicator tellling us how many other people are on Atlas (or just the forums) at any one time? I've seen it done on e-z boards in the past and whilst it's not 100% neccessary it would be a nice element similar to the Views feature that was introduced a while ago.
The feature exists - and is disabled - on this bulletin board. I might consider adding the total number of current members online, we'll see.
