Input Needed for Website Improvements

[MaxGravy]

A member reported the following to me in a pm, this probably explains it.

Joe,

I'm experiencing some weird errors on the BS website. For instance on the Bitcoins - fad or trend thread I can only access the first 30 pages (same thing if I click on Board Index too), and beyond that it gives me a general error...

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Table 'phpbb_sessions' is marked as crashed and should be repaired [1194]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.

I also got the "sessions" error this morning and repaired it.

Was anybody else getting a socket error last night? SQL or something along those line?

YEP!

Yes, that's message I got. But only when I clicked certain things. Unfortunately I don't remember what I clicked. Sometimes when I get an error message I'm not sure if it's a BS site issue or just a bad connection thru my VPN... which does cause problems from time to time.

Done. And long overdue.

Sure would be nice to have a "back to top of page" button at the bottom right of each page.

Clicking that triangle in the grey circle at the bottom right of each post does not do it for you?

There's also a "View New Posts" button at the bottom center of every page.

Once you notice its there it works very good, glad I asked, my bad, thanks for the tip.

Could we change the "Submit" button? to say something else

when posting in a thread says "Post"
and when sending a PM it says "Send PM"
or something like that

this might help with people thinking they are sending a PM and end up posting in thread by accident, since they both say Submit.

Thanks

I think the "Submit" button was a compromise. People thought "OBEY!" was a bit overbearing.

[silverpv]

thank you!

Why don't we have the same amount of smilies(emoticons) in PM that we do in the forum?
For example

There's only one set of smileys. Should be no difference between posting and PMs.

There is a glitch in windows. If you change your screen size smaller or bigger then more of the smilies will show up in the PM window.

his site would be so much better-looking if dae2dae would change that anemic avatar of his.

Would love to see a search feature in the PM's to make it easier to find an old message.
