Few ideas for efficiency's sake

[canadianjameson]

Few ideas for the forum layout:

1) I think we need a "Jump To Last Post" link on the top of every thread that would allow us to to to the top of the last post instead of having to hit "END" and scroll back up

2) when users select a font size / color / etc when creating a new post, the pulldown header doesnt change to show what the user selected... this seems rather counter-intuitive. Why not jush have it show the selected option?

3) when using the [*code]...[/code] encapsulations to better format the code for display, is it possible to have the textArea autocomplete the typing ofafter [c? a minor change but i find it would facilitate things.

Thats it for now. keep up the good work

1 There is a View First Unread link on the post. and there is always the top button to send you backup.

2 From what ive expirecned it does.... it changes to whatever the user has selected unless they change it or select noformatting button

3. not sure about that one :)

Number 2. Are you using the WYSIWYG editor or the regular code editor?

We can't do number 3 as we'd have to add an onchange event and check where the cursor position is and read the previous X characters.



The issues are mainly performance based, the checking every keystroke would eat up alot of cpu time especially if your a fast typer on a 500mhz computer.
Not all browsers support reading from the current cursor position
