Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Well, you see, I put my browser to not remember my history (the suggestions whenever I typed sowt in the search box ticked me off). So now I don’t have that cookie…

No, actually I don’t anymore. And also, I just had to change my history options to custom and I can use the cookie again.

Suits, you are doing an outstanding job, and I just like to say good luck, we’re all counting on you.

I think topics with over 100 replies should show the first three comments, a show comment button and then the 5 latest posts.
It’s a pain to scroll past a long list of comments with an iTouch.

Ved, maybe for the mobile version, but in general I think having the entire thread show on one page (which puts all previous inquiries in your face so you know what not to ask) is a good thing.

@Quack
Haha I picked that reference up. Oh yes, yes I did.

I remember back in the olden days when the forums didn’t remember who we were, and when we couldn’t separate the topics from the comments.

Love the improvements made so far~

Well yeah, make it a mobile feature.
On a normal computer I don’t mind long pages but an iTouch can’t jump to the bottom of the page with one button.

Dunno if anyone asked for this yet, but is it possible to have a system to edit or delete posts in a thread? Like, I hate having a dead link just cause of a little flaw.

Yes, that’s among the first things that was asked for. It’s hardly critical, and it would be somewhat difficult to implement, apparently so it’s not a big deal. Just proofread your posts. We all should, anyway.

there will be times where the site just wont load and the browser will time out
halfhour or so later and itll be fine though

It’s true, it happens quite frequently. I just get patient and do something else for a few minutes.

yeah what ace said

Mozilla times out when it takes too long. Same for Chrome. I have to close tabs and restart the laptop often when there’s a lag on the site…

Yeah, it’s recently started happening.

I had a problem the other day where I couldn’t scroll down, but that seems to have gone away.

Suitcase, I don’t have a problem for once! I did want to say that the edit option is cool and I fixed many an error with it so cheers!

Yaaaaaay Edit is cool!
See, I edited this.

Hey. Hey, Suits.


You know that problem I was having before with the 403 errors?

You know your shiny new edit page?























Guess where the “edit post” button is taking me.

Yes, just like before, when I hit “edit post” it properly edits the post, but takes me to what appears to be the same 403 error page.


EDIT FOR REFERENCE:

This script may not be loaded directly. You may have hit reload at the wrong time. Try going back and resubmitting your comment. The page that referred you here is:

Sorry for the inconvenience! —Your site admin, SuitCase (Email link)

If you want to find yourself again, you can go to the Bittersweet Candy Bowl homepage, or maybe the comic archives.

Seriously, if there’s something on my end I can do that would be easier, just let me know, since I’m seemingly the only one still having this issue.

Yeah, the server seems to slow to a standstill on my iTouch.
I think it’s my wireless server, but typically it starts to slow on the BCB site.
It’s strange cause the site doesn’t slow down on my home computer.

…Suitcase…you made an edit button?!
-Worship-

HOORAY 4 EDITZ!!!!!!!1!!!!!1!!!!one!!

I also want an incentive section in extras! I voted sooo many times, but I missed one or two and now they don’t make sense!

Wouldn’t an incentive section kinda defeat the point of the exercise? At least without a few weeks of delay?

It’d be nice if the topics got split into multiple pages. Sure it might not be nice for some to go trough all the pages but it’s not nice to open a thread and spend 10 seconds just standing there while your browser is stuck loading up all the images (case in point, let’s edit BCB thread).

It could be adopted into a sort of pseudopage system too. It only loads a couple of messages from the start and when you scroll to the bottom it starts loading the next ones. Naturally there’d be a way to just start reading the thread from the end instead in which case it wouldn’t load most of the stuff in the middle of the thread. Perhaps just the three first post and seven or so last ones. Something along the lines of the comic comments.

Hey SuitCase have you ever thought of using PhpBB it’s a free code pake that you can edit to look like this site but it’s a forms system that has Privet emailing profile pages avi system and all kinds of nice things plus it has plugins cor a chat system (video or reg) but ya it’s all free i have used it in a few websites i have made and i saw you wanted to do some work on the forms you have i just thought to let you know there is a quick simpole badass thing out there to save time and efort so you could focus on your studies

if you already knew about phpbb just pretend you never seen this post


also if you ever need help I am a web developer it’s been my main job for many years ill be glad to help if you ever need it

PS: spelling bad sorry in a rush

ok just trying to help but the things it has likr moddorators and admins help keep things good and running faster on the site

I didn’t check all the suggestions listed already, so forgive me if this was already mentioned.

I had this idea when I was playing in that RP thingy, where I would post a reply to a certain entry, only to notice there have been 5 replies in between that entry and mine, and it can get really annoying. While I realize that this is usually not a big deal with other topics, I feel it’s important enough to Warrant an improvement on the site - by that, I mean that Souppy, perhaps you should code a way for the website to, after we click post reply, check if there are more recent posts that we haven’t seen yet. If so, it could possibly warn us and show the newer posts, you know what I mean? Sorry If I’m being cryptic, I’m tired as heck. But yeah, one of those new post-checking systems would be awesomesauce.

Noticed that as well when reading the rp game. Good idea, however you could always have 2 pages open(mozilla firefox) and refresh one while posting on the other.

I tend to do what critic says. Still… It’d be nice if you could implement something a rather like the archive tracker: a little live-updating banner a couple of pixels high that, say, goes from “0” to “3+” interim posts, as a way of seeing how far behind you are?

Having a post-click late warning is probably not the right way to do it, anyway. If you’re OK with being one post behind, by the time you’ve cleared the warning away you’re half-a-dozen behind.

I fear that having two browsers active on a forum would drastically increase webtraffic. I even think that our game was what was causing some server lags that I noticed, so I don’t think that using two browsers is very wthical.

Just have the”+x” counter refresh every time you reload the forum index, with the “+x” based off the last time you actually viewed that page.
