Oh, ok I see what you were saying now. This is a new message so any responses to it go to the new address. People change email adresses all the time. I the script should look up the current one to reply.

Since you can filter the main page to show only articles in only certain categories, how about a feature to show only certain forums. For example I'm never going to read VB.NET or ASP so I'd like to not have them in my forum list.

There are some people who hate seeing the word VB, VB.NET written on the screen. They desperately want to get rid of these words in the forum list altough I how much good this will do overall.

Ofcourse not rather I love seeing them. I was really wondering what good filtering forum list would do. The list is small anyway.

I came up with this a while ago but I don't think I have posted the suggestion here.
I'm not sure how difficult this would be to implement due to the way the dhtml magic works at the moment, but how about an "expand all" featre for just the lounge. I've always wanted to expand all the posts and scroll down without having to expand each message individually. I have a feeling it would take a while to implement since it's designed to expand only one post at a time, but it's something to consider when you're bored.

Yes. I have a rare finger condition which causes me pain when clicking on message titles. Only on message titles though, clicking anywhere else doesn't affect the condition. And there's no cure. So if Chris doesn't implement it, I could be crippled for life.

Exactly. That's what makes it quite plausable. The only problem is that the function to handle the message viewing is designed only for one message, it would probably take quite a while to modify it to expand all messages on the page.

This bit of code will expand all the threads on the current page(nasty hack)(can't see a simple way to collapse all the threads without changeing the way the doucment is produced - but hey i dont know much html so i could be wrong)
<script>
function Expand()
{
nodes = document.getElementsByTagName("TR");
for(i=0;i<nodes.length;i++)
{
var thisLevel = nodes(i);
if(thisLevel.style.display == "none")
{
thisLevel.style.display = "block";
}
}
}
</script>
<a HREF='JavaScript:Expand();'>Expand</a>

Since JavaScript event handlers get stripped from posts, you need to save the page locally & then insert it. But you've been kind enough to provide a DLL now i see, so there's no need to be so industrious!

Foolish?!? YOU WROTE A F***ING DLL! That may be masochistic, but foolish it is not. If you just need some way to justify it, add a few more buttons to do HTML insertion, spell checking, etc.

The link was on the lounge, but Rama deleted it
Paul posted a reply with a bit of javascript that did the same.
Try searching for CP Expander maybe... not sure, but that sounds right.
