A more palatable soloution to the 'Sport' thing PompeyBoy313-Jul-11 0:55 PompeyBoy3 13-Jul-11 0:55  Is it possible to make threads collapsable/uncollapsable? You know a +/- thing next to the Thread starter. This will allow the people that are offended by Sport to collapse that paticular thread so it only ever takes up the same space of one post on their screen no matter how many replies it gets. Surely a better soloution than a seperate Sports Forum, and the endless requests for seperate 'joke','guns', 'ccc' etc forums that will follow if you ever do give in to the sport forum request. Re: A more palatable soloution to the 'Sport' thing Nagy Vilmos13-Jul-11 1:01 Nagy Vilmos 13-Jul-11 1:01  I was thinking of suggesting something like tagging like what we do in Q&A. Allow the author and maybe master debators to place tags on a thread. Then JSOP can set his lounge tag to !sport !ccc !french. Shirley that would work. Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett Re: A more palatable soloution to the 'Sport' thing PompeyBoy313-Jul-11 2:05 PompeyBoy3 13-Jul-11 2:05  In Q&A, there is a finite number of tags(C++, java etc) For the Lounge it would be infinite(aadvark,.... etc) Re: A more palatable soloution to the 'Sport' thing Nagy Vilmos13-Jul-11 3:43 Nagy Vilmos 13-Jul-11 3:43  Not really. Dad decides what tags we can use, start with CCC sport gun BACON food drink, and any obvious ones can be added at the managements discretion. Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink.

An Austrian is allowed to have a pasta strainer on his head in his driving licence photo. Which obvious tag do you use for that? Re: A more palatable soloution to the 'Sport' thing Nagy Vilmos13-Jul-11 3:51 Nagy Vilmos 13-Jul-11 3:51  It doesn't have to have a tag, a bit like the jumper that fell in your bag in Primark.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

This will solve that issue. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: A more palatable soloution to the 'Sport' thing Albert Holguin13-Jul-11 4:51 Albert Holguin 13-Jul-11 4:51  I like that idea, there's certainly a lot of threads (not sports) that I'd want to minimize! Re: A more palatable soloution to the 'Sport' thing PompeyBoy313-Jul-11 4:59 PompeyBoy3 13-Jul-11 4:59  Exactly, it would benefit everyone. Sports forum request Peter Mulholland13-Jul-11 0:13 Peter Mulholland 13-Jul-11 0:13  Hey Chris, I know John nags you about this regularly, but there's cricket coming up apparently and the sports posts have started again in the lounge. This never bothered me before when I could use "thread view" as I could easily ignore posts with any kind of hint of sports in the subject. Thread view doesn't work for me in the lounge any more, so now I fear that the sports threads will grow to fill whole pages of lounge posts (on normal layout) even tho I've maxed out the display to 50 posts per page. Pete Re: Sports forum request Dalek Dave13-Jul-11 0:27 Dalek Dave 13-Jul-11 0:27  Peter, there has been cricket almost continuously for 17 years, it is not a new phenomena. Why would the boards be filled now? ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave CCC Link[^] Trolls[^] Re: Sports forum request PompeyBoy313-Jul-11 0:45 PompeyBoy3 13-Jul-11 0:45  By the way, all discussion of the India-England series will be in the General Indian Topics. I needed to post todays thread in the Lounge to draw the English members attention to the existence of the FL. Seperate Sport Forum is not a good idea, and will de-value the Lounge ethos of 'a place that you can discuss anything that takes your fancy'. But I do have an idea that may suit all. Re: Sports forum request Peter Mulholland13-Jul-11 1:16 Peter Mulholland 13-Jul-11 1:16  I've posted a reply to you on your cricket thread. My real problem is that the thread view layout is broke, making it a bit more difficult to ignore the sports posts. And I wanted to side with JSOP on this one. Pete Re: Sports forum request Peter Mulholland13-Jul-11 1:30 Peter Mulholland 13-Jul-11 1:30  I've got the thread view layout working by selecting "last month" in the "show" drop down, so we're all good now, I can easily ignore the cricket again. Pete Reputation 'bug' [modified] Tom Deketelaere13-Jul-11 0:05 Tom Deketelaere 13-Jul-11 0:05  Apparently I can bookmark my own message and that gives me a reputation action: 13 Jul 2011 12:02 PM General Forum Message Upvoted Debator Forum Message Tree hints thingy 24 Seems a bit wrong And you'll have to deduct those 24 points for me [EDIT] Further testing shows it isn't a bug. Apparently someone with the same vote weight as me voted the message up at the same time as I bookmarked it. I guess I really earned those 24 points [/EDIT] modified on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 6:17 AM Re: Reputation 'bug' Dalek Dave13-Jul-11 0:07 Dalek Dave 13-Jul-11 0:07  You should be able to bookmark your own message, but I see what you mean about getting points for it. However, I just tried it, and got no points. It seems it is just you, or was it forum specific? ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave CCC Link[^] Trolls[^] Re: Reputation 'bug' Tom Deketelaere13-Jul-11 0:18 Tom Deketelaere 13-Jul-11 0:18  Hmm seems you'r right.
