Absolutely! Now we have this workaround, I'm taking that off the list

Damn you remind me of a developer I worked with before.

Oh the users can sacrifice a goat and get there so I don't see it as a fault.

Trouble was we were running out of goats. Good curry though.

Was that something that could be done before and stopped working?

If so, how did it work, so I know where to look?

No, just a NTH since the advent of a certain subforum filling the 'new posts' list with drivel

Please can we have the option on 'new posts' to only see selected forums?

Admin outsourced the upgrade to the Department for Exiting the European Union.

[WTFH]

So it is! I wonder if it's supposed to be like that

It's a UDF*, popular with developers the world over.




* undocumented feature.

You made me look at the source code, and I've now found an easier workaround!

Right Click on "Notifications" and then open link in new tab/window.

The code for the settings page is now tied to the Notifications text. But the Notifications is set as a drop down, so it ignores the link and performs the dropdown instead.

It still is, you just can't see it or click on it (unless you get your mouse pointer on a particular couple of pixels) because the text that's supposed to be inside it is missing

Or right-click on My Profile, press Esc, then hold shift and press Tab, then press return. #oldschool

...and (this one is a bit of a limited appeal requirement)...

Can you change the code on the Mod button (menu at the bottom of the screen) to open in a new tab/window?

Straying into the territory of feature requests rather than bug reports there… I'll see what I can do once the broken stuff is unbroken

Link to CP settings? It used to be between "My Profile" and "Privacy Policy" in the top menu bar.

It is rather

I'll add it to the list…

Oh, and can we have a mod page that ranks us by who has banned the most people in the last week/month/6 months/Since MF, then maybe a piece of code that every time we ban a sockie, we get special reps. Then as part of our Christmas bonus, the mod with the most reps gets the biggest bonus, the next mod gets the next biggest and the mod with the least reps gets nothing. Or just code it so NAT gets nothing, save the calculation.

Bumping for NF/Admin:


The "Who's Online" functionality is giving a blank screen
