View all option

[super9064]

I noticed on Garage journal that they have a view all option, so that you can see a long thread without having to go page by page. Is that something that would be a possible upgrade? It seems like a handy feature.

Rob,

I not sure I get what you're asking?
If you are asking if there is a way to go to the last posting on a multi-posted thread... YES, there's a small double down arrow next to the thread title on the forum page that will take you to the first post you've haven't read yet. OR, when you go into a multi-posted thread there is a page number (if it's a muli-page thread) on top of the thread that lets you go to a given page, or last page. And last, on the forum page there is a small double right arrow next to the last posters name that gets you directly to the last post...

I might be missing it, but what does the site do that you've given us that ours doesn't?

Hey Chuck,

The "View All" button basically turns a 50+ page thread into a single page. Its nice to be able to scroll through dozens of posts on these really long threads, like this one with 107 replies, http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ighlight=rally

Is that clearer?? thanks, Rob

Yep Rob that's clearer.........

One click turns a 176 page thread (Jack Olsen's garage) into a one page (after you wait for all the pages to load up) scrollable read......... got it.... and I can see that it could be a time saver.

I'll ask if our version of vBulletin can accommodate this feature.... Thanks for the tip, and the link to a pretty cool site...

Cheers

That'd be really handy on the Rennlist where the 991GT3 "fires" has 221 pages (now) and 3,305 responses!!!

Great idea, Rob.

I have been told that this particular vBulletin feature puts a lot of stress on the servers we signed up for...

Maybe we'll do it soon, but not now.........
