Nobody used the search feature in Invisionfree because it never bloody worked. I can think of many times i waded through dozens of threads looking for a post I knew existed, but could not find.

A working search feature? HUZZAH, HUZZAH, HUZZAH.

But now for the evil feature I have added-- double post merging >:-)

what?
Posted on: January 07, 2007, 01:07:55 AMwhat?
Posted on: January 07, 2007, 01:08:14 AMooh. It merges double posts automatically. The spammers won't like that. What does it do to your post count?
Posted on: January 07, 2007, 01:09:10 AMI am not sure. Let's try something....
Posted on: January 07, 2007, 01:10:05 AMDarn, you do not increase your post count if you reply to your own post.

[Morthia]

Uh-oh.
Posted on: Sunday, 07 January 2007, 12:11:13 PMThat isn't very good. Now we can't spam to ourselves.

[Eluvatar]

Hey you can spam to each other perfectly well, right?

But if enough people don't like the double post automatic merger I'll probably switch it to manual or turn it off entirely.

But I think it makes perfect sense.

[Baltija]

Leave it on, please. Sometimes I had my internet connection lagging and double-posted. It will also prevent those dirty double-posters who intentionally doube-post.

[Morthia]

Like me! Does it say that someone has posted again if they double post over a period of time? You know, adding things, in an RP story, etc.

[Eluvatar]

It should place a [new] marker on a post when you double post and it merges afterward. Let me check.

[Eluvatar]

Oh wait I can't check because it doesn't give me the [new] tag because I am the one who posted it anyways, even if it would for double post... <_<

[Eluvatar]

Oh but what I can check is if it moves the topic up. Let's check that.
Posted on: January 07, 2007, 04:58:40 PMOh damn. Someone turned off the feature when I wasn't looking. Sheesh. Well I'll post this and then merge it to see what happens ^_^.

[Eluvatar]

Well this thread stayed on top of this board, with the 'last posted' of my second post that I merged in. Therefore I assume that it would probably also mark it as unread for other people. But I don't actually know

 Well, I have to admit, I was not too fond of breaking away from the familiar IF setup. I had spent a month teaching myself how to admin them LOL But, one thing I like the most about the SMF forum....

 NO IF ToS!!!!!!

 *we* control the hosting, we determine what's acceptable, and what is not. Translation... more freedom of speech!

Or at least no excuses in limiting it

Considering Eluvatar is too "civilised" by our standarts, I wouldn't be sure about <_<

EDIT: @ Elu: no offense

[The Empire]

But who removed the function to delete one's own posts? I want that back!

[Zimmerwald]

Indeed.  Why can't we delete our own posts!?
