1. EuForum "web only" features?
posted by: jtemple at yhti.net
Rob,
Very nice job so far on the forum!
However, I was (and possibly the only) a "web only" subscriber to
Topica. Mainly to avoid ads! Here's a few suggestions for those of
us who might want to only read/respond/write via the web:
1. Add a "Post" link to the initial forum page. At this point I have
to click a message to start a new post.
2. Add a "Reply" link to each message page. As is it now, I would
have to copy the message to the clipboard and then paste into a new
message.
3. I tried to use the "Previous" link from the first message on the
forum page and got a "Page not found" message. There's also no way to
go back and view previous pages of messages (like the Topica web
interface).
Thanks,
Jonas

Sounds reasonable. We'll probably add some other links and info
there as well.

Junko is working on "Reply". She wants to get login's working
first, so it will automatically fill in your name, address and signature on
Posts and Replies.

OK, that's fixed now. It will take you to the main
index if you try to move earlier than the first message.

We'll eventually expand the number of messages available,
and the main index will link to earlier index pages.
Of course all messages are recorded forever in the
searchable Archive. If you know who posted a message,
you can enter that in the Search form and that person's
messages will be displayed, most recent first.

Rob Craig

It all sounds good!
Hey, here's a marketing idea for you...
You've got this easy, ad-free mailing list starting up here. Why not provide an
ad-free mailing list to your ListFilter customers if they pay for the ListFilter
service? No ListFilter, no mailing list.
It would also be a great advertisement for Euphoria!

Jonas, don't forget that we're still getting Topica ads... it ain't over
'til it's over.

I wish I could, but the EUforum code is tightly integrated
with the ListFilter code. I don't want spammers to see exactly
how I'm defending against them. It will also soon be integrated
with the login/password code used by the User Contribution system.
I don't want hackers perusing the code that decides if a password
is valid or not.
If people want to know anything about how some feature works,
I don't mind telling them, and even giving out snippets of code,
but I can't release the whole thing. In any case, it has lots
of hard-coded stuff that's highly specific to
RapidEuphoria.com and ListFilter.com. It wouldn't be that
easy to port.
