Hiya Froud,

I can put go to top/buttons on the profile page (the same buttons you see here on this page). You also reminded me about a suggestion from Rowley to return you the page bottom after submitting a signature. So I'll do both together

It's Kable if you don't remember the name change.
Hiya Kable, it's nice to see you

All is well here and I hope the same is for you too. I was actually thinking about you recently (during Halloween) and hoped you'd catch a glimpse of my re-skin I did for the weekend.

Couple of pics below in case you missed it.

You take care and I hope you drop in again soon

Hiya Ryan M

I have seen the jtalk thing but I haven't looked into it. I figure they are scraping jmod profiles daily to find posts (just a guess I could be way wrong). What they do seems to work well for their set up.

Scraping the data once a day isn't really a big issue. For me the issue is that the data is up to 24 hours old. For example any jmod posts made after the scrape wont be known by the app.

That really puts me off for two reasons, it's not up to date, and people will assume it's a bug when there is a thread with jmod posts and no indicator from the app. But I have another issue I'll mention a little later.

I wondered about using linkify to submit jmod posts to a database. This would occur when a user viewed a page with a jmod post. I would mean linkify would have to check and update the db periodically. I think that method would be closer to real time, but still not perfect. Maybe used in conjunction with scraping would be better.

Currently I don't have any plans to do this. That doesn't mean I wont, but for now it seems like a lot of work and resources and will never be 100% perfect.

Okay, the first two issues were not real time, and people may think something is bugged because it's not reliable. The third issue comes down to the forum content and users.

Jmod icons indicating they have posted will give weight to a thread (more people will be inclined to post). I'm not sure that's a good thing.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful toward staff posts, and it's my opinion only. But Jtalk has shown me a large number of jmod posts are really not worthy of giving weight to threads nor do they always equate to important or relevant information.

I really think Jtalk has the right idea. Because their data doesn't give weight to threads in a way that linkify would if I were to do a similar thing. This idea has been tossed around for a long time now, still so many cons.

Not sure if I made much sense with all that, I hope I did

Thanks Dsctatom, I'll do the fixed width thing you suggested.

I'm curious are you running dev or canary version of chrome as the buttons look different from my end but not like in your pic. For me, the arrow buttons are narrower and I assumed that was from a forum update.

Anyway I'll get a fix out soon
