[Closed] STW forum feature request

Not being funny, but its hardly a harship to click on a link now is it?
I'd imagine embedding maps into pages on her would chew up quite a bit of bandwidth, although Im not a web designer.

No of course not, but it's just a nicety that's all. Like the images and videos.

It doesn't. When you link to something on a page it downloads it from the server the linked-to thing on, not the server the original page is on.

although Im not a web designer.

Apparently 😉

Or [url= http://www.opencyclemap.org/ ]OpenCycleMap[/url] links?

Like this: http://www.opencyclemap.org/?zoom=14&lat=55.87035&lon=-3.25238&layers=B000

Could be good for trails.. but google lets you put in streetview pics in the links and even panoramio ones.

Another (really, really small) request: could links in threads please open in a new window? (Good form anyway - it prevents users navigating away from the site...)

I know I can right-click the link and choose 'Open in new tab' but sometimes I forget... Surely just a small tweak - adding 'target="blank"' to the link code somewhere?

You can also press ctrl and click for new tab, or shift-click for a new window...

Bad form, actually.

Or mouse wheel click :p

Or just Command-Click on the link (CTRL on PC I think)

Bad form, actually.

Why so? ❓

A one-hour-a-week switch the swear filter off would be fun 😀

the opening in a new window thing would annoy me.

Agree with mike, target="blank" is very bad form IMO.

I'm the one controlling things, I'll decide if they should open in the same tab, a new tab or a new window.
Why would you want to cede that control to a website? Is it so hard to middle-click?

can we have a flashing light or sommat on every thread that is or looks like it's about to kick off. Cos they're the only interesting ones really.

Lol@Kevevs 🙂

+1

Is it so hard to middle-click?

Yes, no middle button 🙂

I was thinking like/dislike buttons so members can vote, and the relative votes affect the colour of the post in the list 🙂 Colour would be pale if there weren't many posts/votes, getting more solid as they mount up!

I suggested a big throbbing cock that grew in size next to the poster's name, but they're still working on it.

I think a symbol to show which threads are currently seeing a lot of akshun would be whole lot better than "freshness"

Throbbing cock idea is good, mind

the name of the last poster to a thread on the main forum views would be exquisite

The new window thing always annoyed the hell out of my on this site "back in the day" and still does whenever I come across it elsewhere on the web.

and what for the female posters ??

Embedded video/maps etc very works well on another forum I go to.

milometer, so everyone knows if the poster is a cyclist or keyboard warrior

sharkbait - we have embedded video now.

Wouldn't embedding maps limit their size ?
If I'm looking at a route on a map I want to see it full screen.

Oh, and thanks for the wheel click = new tab tip. How did I not already know that ? 🙄

i dont see embedded maps/videos just blank space
i cant use the middle click
i dont even have tabbed browsing

ffs i might as well be on dialup still.
