Second to last Poster

MANY THANKS TO AURORIS FOR CREATING THIS SCRIPT ADDON FOR US!

You will notice two names in the board index for last poster. The first one is the last poster and the second one with the '-->' next to it is the second to last poster. You are free to download this script. The code is below:

(Copy and save as: last_poster_enhancement.mod)

CODE

forum.bordeglobal.com/foruminv/index.php?showforum=98 Last Poster Enhancement 1.0 On active forums where admin or the moderator are super active it looks as if they are the only ones posting or replying to messages because they reply so fast. This shows the last two posters. Message from bordeglobal: First poster appears in the usual manner 'Last post by...' and second poster appears under with an arrow '-->' Clean install on heavily mod board.

Be Invisible!

Based on a request from Roj we decided to make it possible for users to choose to be invisible so that they are not seen through the 'Who's Online' page and thus no one can tell what they are doing (except for Admin of course).

To enable simply go to your profile, click 'modify' and tick the box that says, 'Be Invisible? [ ]'

New Banning System

We just installed a new banning system that can ban you by name, IP, email, and from IM. Please make sure to follow the rules and do not impose on any other users.

The unique point about this ban is it can be from 1 day to forever. You will always be informed of the reason for your ban.

Thanks to ironwing for our latest script update.

Limit to modification

Now there is a limit to the time you have to edit or modify your post. Here is what this new script does...

1. If you post a message then it will give 3 minutes to correct any mistakes you made before it applies the usual 'edited by...', if you pass the 3 minutes then it will show the user that edited the message and date and time.

Why this? Well why should you have a last edit stamp on your message if all you wanted to do was correct a simple mistake.

2. You have 24 hours in which to edit a post, after the 24 hours you ill no longer be able to edit.

Why this? Users would come back and change the messages they posted, thus making the thread out of sink or not understandable. Example...

User A posts a topic about apples and then other people come and post messages concerning apples. After several days the thread gets quite large and then suddenly User A comes and change their first thread to 'pineapples' now it seems like the rest of users are crazy for going off on apples

So in other words... be sure of what you want to post. You will have a limited space and time to correct it.
