SE Future...

You're right Andrea, but they make YaBB SE SP1 compatible . If you find a YaBB Gold board, this button will be there.

Do you know where to find one?

First off, there is no longer a YaBB 1 Gold Community since they have now gone to the SP1 release.  The SP1 release removed the 'go' button and since SE is a port of the SP1 the 'go' button was never present.

The 'go' button was a feature of Y1G and resided beside the 'jump box'.  The current board you were in was highlighted in the jumpbox and to go back to the messageindex for the current board, all you had to do was click on the 'go' button.

With the emergence of SP1, this handy little feature was eliminated for what was though to be better coding by allowing the user to select the board they wanted to go to and that simple selection would start the process to take you to that board.

Unfortunately, while the new coding was impressive, it had one fatal flaw.  Let's say you were on the Announcements Board and had just looked at post that held interest for you.  Once you were finished reading that post, if you wanted to go back to the messageindex for the Announcement Board, using the 'jump to' box would not allow you to go back to where you wanted to go.  Basically you had only 3 choices to get you to where you wanted to be.
1 - you could simply hit your 'back' button on your browser.  This was an effective solution unless the post you had been reading had multiple pages and you were 3 or 4 pages into the message at which time you would have to hit your back button 3 or 4 times to get back to the messageindex for the Announcement Board.
2 - you could use the 'jump to' box, go to any other board and then use the 'jump to' box to go back to the Announcement Board.
3 - you could scroll all the way back to the top of the board and use the 'links tree'.

Yes, some say that you can simply use the inline links and put them at the bottom of the board as well as at the top.  I have seen a Mod that puts a graphic into each post that will allow you to click on it to be transported back to the top of the board.  I have also seen a Mod that places links for 'top & bottom' in the appropriate places on your board to make things easier.

Frankly, in my humble opinion, the simplest solution would be to just bring back the old Y1G 'go' button and place it to the right of the jumpbox, just where it used to be, where it worked so well and made your board just that much easier to navigate.

cheers.........

Thank you, too. Now I understand, what you are talking of.

I've never used the jump to box so it's never bothered me  I forget it's there until people bring it up actually  I always scroll to the top and click the links or click back in my browser

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

yeah, me to, something that would be useful where that is, is a "Go to top" button

if you want it that badly you can do this:

in subs.php line 249:

Code Select Expand

  $selecthtml = "<select name=\"values\" onChange=\"if(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value) window.location.href='$scripturl' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;\">";
change to:

Code Select Expand

  $selecthtml = "<select name=\"values\">";
Then in Display.php
line 524:

Code Select Expand

   
    <td align="right"><form action="$scripturl" method="GET">
    <font size="1">$txt[160]:</font>$selecthtml</form></td>
change to:

Code Select Expand

   <td align="right"><form action="$scripturl" method="GET" name="select">
    <font size="1">$txt[160]:</font>$selecthtml <input type="button" value="Go" onClick="location=document.select.values.options[document.select.values.selectedIndex].value"></form></td>

and finally messageindex.php
line 323:

Code Select Expand

     <td align="right" valign="middle"><form action="$scripturl" method="GET">
    <font size="1">$txt[160]:</font>$selecthtml</form></td>
change to:

Code Select Expand

      <td align="right" valign="middle"><form action="$scripturl" method="GET" name="select">
    <font size="1">$txt[160]:</font>$selecthtml <input type="button" value="Go" onClick="location=document.select.values.options[document.select.values.selectedIndex].value"></form></td>
hope that helps

[powergen]

Listen ... guys ... I really want the best Yabb SE possible too as you ... but please do not ask new features like the super button there, the other button here, at the end of the developing time.

Time is up, isn't it just bug hunting and shooting I hope it is ...

We are here starving for this release ...

thanks, Andrea

Have you tried the test forum here?  Posters can delete their first post, it doesn't delete the whole thread though (that would be plain annoying).

[iamdamnsam]

It would be good if the thread starter could delete the entire thread.  For instance, someone is selling something, when they sell it they can delete that thread.

[groundup]

they can lock the thread if they are done selling it.  If you want, then you can go along and delete the locked threads

[queks]

iamdamnsam, i agreed with you. I got a lot of buying and selling thread. Most of them IM me to assist them to del the thread because they still got ppl asking for the item that is already sold. Most of them used to using vBulletin so they wanted the power to del their own thread they started. If this function is not provided here, then i have to turn to mod for help. Not possible i go through tens of catogory and tons of post to look for close or lock thread and del them one by one.
