h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Pretty much all, yup... Well done!

A passing thought... Knowing our luck, once there's no imperative to change threads, in about six months we'll see the database have its first "Thread Index Out Of Bounds" error on a 32768-post thread...

Since when is there no imperative to change threads?

["Since they made the new changes."]

Oh. Okay.

Only if we get 2,147,483,648 posts in a thread. At which point I suspect we'd have other problems.

Wow, Jim, that seems comprehensive enough for anyone. Ta!

Seems to have taken no time at all, in retrospect. You really must have had something other than your arm up your sleeve at the last upgrade. And the hints you dropped look more like veiled promises now.

Can your family remember what you look like?

I speck.

The planned upgrade that I discussed earlier has had to be postponed. The Editorial department have asked for a lot of changes to the layout in various places, and this means we have to implement these changes and retest, so it'll be at least another week before we can put these changes live. I thought I'd better mention it here, since I'd said we were aiming to to the upgrade this week.

Sorry.

I second that !

"It's life, Jim ..."
Thanks for the update update.

Patience is a virtue.
Let's all be virtuous.

OK, so *now* what do people think?

Looks *MUCH* better! This is the first forum I've visited, so I haven't had much of a play with it yet... I particularly like the fact that you've numbered the posts - it makes referring back so much easier and clearer!

(I *MUST* remember to edit the Subject!
I *MUST* remember to edit the Subject!

I think it is much better, and a lot easier to use. Well Done!!!

The "Advanced user" navigation buttons are cool!

I notice, however, that the "Preferences" button is permanently there now, yet if you click on it the only "official" way out is back to your home page - should it perhaps return you to where you were when you clicked it?

He does have a point there.

Well, strictly speaking, all of the buttons in the button bar take you somewhere new, and don't give you a way back, so the preferences button isn't different in that regard - it's just that (for historical reasons) the 'Back to your User Page' link was left.

Not to mention that it should now say 'Back to your Personal Space'... ho hum.

it's great! I not only do have the ability to skip to the end of a thread with many messages notifications of changes on my page take me to the latest rather than the begining !

*takes a deep breath* oh punctuation, woops.
