Board Software Suggestion

Post by Stark »

I have noticed over at the M&B forums that if you're writing a reply and someone posts before you submit, you are told and given a chance to read it and change your post. This is neat, particularly in high-activity threads, and it'd be useful on SDN too. Does the board software here support such functionality?

PHPBB (the software the board uses) doesn't have that functionality inherent to it's code, BUT I'm sure there is someone who could code a addition to it for that. Maybe Destructionator could do it...

I think PHPBB3 (the next major revision of the code) will include alot of extended functionality...

You preview before every post? Crazy. Frankly, much of my posting is done in quick replies, and I've been instaposted a lot this weekend.

Hah, I was four minutes ahead of you, and I previewed like crazy to make sure the formatting was right. :P

The preview function is very useful, especially when you're posting a shitload of embedded links. Would be very annoying if you posted a bunch, and only half of them worked....and you're unable to edit your post. ;)
