Cool!

VERY cool!! Thanks! It works!!

Donnageddon · 10-19-2010, 12:30 AM

Oh, great... now GK is gonna ask for a pony.

GraceKrispy · 10-19-2010, 02:21 AM

I'd rather have a stallion.

Donnageddon · 10-19-2010, 05:29 AM

You are a greedy one!

FlorenceArt · 10-19-2010, 05:45 AM

Besides, a pony is much cuter, and cheaper to maintain.

kindlekitten · 10-19-2010, 08:48 AM

oh but they have such attitudes!

sakura-panda · 10-19-2010, 01:58 PM

Yay! I've been wanting this too! This will help prevent me from reentering threads that I've already visited but didn't want to participate in -- sometimes I forget what they are about when the subject line is cryptic.

Just wishing a wish.

If I am on any page, other than page one, and I enter a thread to make a comment. It would be nice to do so and return to the page I was on. Nothing worse than going into a thread on page 4, and ending back on page 1!

Yes, I know I could use the 'back' button on the browser, but this stupid brain of mine then can't remember which thread it was I went into 'cos the forum software doesn't recognise that I've posted in the thread until I refresh it.

Still, it's just a wish .....

Perhaps I need to change my memory-enhancing medication, that could be easier

But every time you go to the doc's you forget to ask.

GeoffC · 10-26-2010, 06:18 AM

I know, or is that can't remember - I know I went there this morning, now - what was it for ....

Just switched on the 'preview' and it works well

.

JaneD · 11-01-2010, 08:09 PM

I just switched on preview and it works like a wonder! Thank you so much, mods!

GraceKrispy · 11-17-2010, 11:02 PM

I just discovered something kind of, well, cool!

I was on this board https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=226 and clicked on this post https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=102970 and before I did, I used my very cool, super-hover powers... and, in hovermode, I saw a totally different post than what I saw when I clicked on it. I'm guessing I saw the post the way it was before it was edited. Do they all do that? Or is this one just a glitch?

Alexander Turcic · 11-18-2010, 02:32 AM

The hover text is a cached version of the post. It's likely that you just encountered a situation where someone edited his or her post and the cache wasn't updated yet.

GraceKrispy · 11-19-2010, 10:23 PM

Aha! I forgot about that "cache" thing. That makes sense. Sure was interesting...
