'User CP'

Iceferno · Dec 28, 2007 12:48 PM

On most forums I'm a part of, there exists a User CP page which is your personal home page for when you log in. I was wondering if this page will ever be available here on the SpyroForums in the future? This is the page I'm talking about:

I just find forums so much easier to navigate with this page. I like keeping track of Subscribed Threads easily and have gotten used to this easy and simple way of tracking them. I don't like having to look through absolutely every forum on here just to remember which threads I've posted on and to see if anyone's responded to my posts. I currently have Email Notifications enabled, but I find forums much better if I don't have E-notifications enabled. That way I know the updates when I log in won't be what I expect, which is the case with E-notifications.

I do hope the forum Admins are reading this. smile Of course, I like making things easy for myself wink but I really think other users on here would benefit from a simpler way of tracking threads. It may encourage them to be on here more often too! I really like these forums but get easily confused when navigating, so simplifying them a bit would be very encouraging smile

The administration reads all comments in the site suggestions.

The thing is, we run phpbb 2 on spyroforum. That screenshot looks like vBulliten.

vBulliten is a paid commercial forum software. phpbb is free.

There are mods for phpbb for a usercp, but I think that complicates things for newer members.

Aye that looks like vBulletin to me.

One thing I have noticed is when I click 'view your posts' it brings up the search, and not 'my posts' like other php forums. Que?

Another bug. Thats what happens when I tampered with the php a little too much, I change something somewhere, and something doesn't work somewhere else.

Thats what happened with the quote bug problem.

Yeah, that's a problem for me too. I've clicked to Watch a topic, but it doesn't really do anything. I still can't keep track of it! sad

Spyrorocks · Dec 28, 2007 8:03 PM

I disabled watch topics because the forum will send out too many emails, and my host will not like it.

Iceferno · Dec 28, 2007 8:06 PM

It shouldn't matter too much though cuz you have the Email Notification option in the Profile section, so I don't think they'd notice wink
Oh, I like the Welcoming message in your sig! big_smile

Spyrorocks · Dec 28, 2007 8:27 PM

Thanks smile

It does matter, because if too many emails are sent from a singe hosting account they suspect it is sending spam messages out.

chrisgregory05 · Dec 28, 2007 8:28 PM

Aye, well to be honest it is kinda annoying not having quick access to topics you've posted in, without scanning the whole site. I suppose there's not much you can do then?

Spyrorocks · Dec 28, 2007 9:25 PM

Hmm, not really.

Iceferno · Dec 28, 2007 9:28 PM

I'll probably need to make a collection of URLs in a .txt file then tongue

Isn't it then possible to simply go back into the php and undo what you did, to fix the bugs?

Spyrorocks · Jan 02, 2008 3:49 AM

Sure, if I could remember what all I changed, and if you want me to take out a bunch of features i put in.

Iceferno · Jan 17, 2008 7:51 PM

That wouldn't necissarily happen, would it?

Spyrorocks · Jan 17, 2008 8:12 PM

Yes it would happen, because changes I have made implanted new features.
