PoorLepRecon Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Before we moved to IPB, the forums we used had a feature that warned you that posts had been added to a topic when you were typing your response. This was useful for checking if someone had answered a specific question you were gong to reply to, or adding something into your comment to respond to someone who had just posted. This feature was lost in the switch, and I was wondering if there was some way for us to get a feature similar to it on IPB?

obfuscator Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I think there was a topic about this when we first moved, let me check. Off the top of my head though I believe the resolution was that it isn't possible in IPB by default and modding it wouldn't be practical. EDIT: I can't find the thread. Wait for an admin I suppose..

The Observer Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I believe there is a feature coming up in IPB 3.2. Lemme see if I can find it... EDIT: Can't find it, but I remember reading about it somewhere. It was with the new interface. I'll check again when I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsis Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 In the meantime you can always hit "preview" before you submit your post. It refreshes the posts listed beneath the reply box so you can check that way to see if there are new posts. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It refreshes the posts listed beneath the reply box so you can check that way to see if there are new posts.If only that also included an "Add quote to reply" button for those additional posts. Maybe that will be covered in the new version as well? :huh: ~D. V. "Always seeking feature completion..."

The Observer Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Oh, I see now. I remember that feature being added back in phpBB3. I'll take a look at the blogs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
