    Re: Help me (and HEXUS) make some friends

    In order to ensure pages load as quickly as possible, I've ditched external Digg Javascript and now use the Digg API to keep digg counts up to date.

    The buttons look a little different (better, I think), work in much the same way, but don't hinder page loads.

    More info in the (new) HEXUS devblog.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Re: Help me (and HEXUS) make some friends

    I've been away most of August, with the odd popping in here-and-there, and it seems like Hexus has been through a fairly large change.
    I dont mind the odd 'having to look at a thread' thing, but over-use of the feature could become as warm and inviting as a log-cabin retreat weekend with Hitler, Saddam, a bucket of KY jelly and some whipped cream.

    Mmmm, whipped cream.....

    Re: Help me (and HEXUS) make some friends

    One of the things we're going to do is make sure people are only forced to read a thread when it's relevant.

    For example, this thread can be left unread until you visit General Discussion.

    A more practical, forward looking example would be that an update to the For Sale rules would only need to be read by people when they visit that section... those that don't use that section don't need to see the thread.

    That's the best balance, I think.

    Re: Help me (and HEXUS) make some friends

    I agree and think that so far you seem to have a good balance.
    I'll not be shy if i think it's over-used.

    Cheers, although I expect some users read every post on the forums already... and so this feature won't make a blind bit of difference to them

    Personally i think every user should be forced to read Feisty, every post on every page!
    We're only here for the Banter - The Luvvies - Chewin' The Fat

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.
