  2. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    Hi there. May I suggest a simple template modifacation to save contributing users a few clicks when checking for a user's contributions.

    What's the "problem"?
    Currently, we have to click the username to get the drop down menu, click "view profile", click "Find all threads started by...", then we can see the threads started by that user. Then we have to click the back button several times to get back to the original thread. That's a lot of work for my tired clicking finger....lol ;)

    What does your template modifacation do Chefy?
    This quick easy template mod will add a "View all threads started by {the person}" link directly into the drop down menu. For added convinience, when clicked, the results will open in a new window so when your done viewing you can just close it. No multiple clicking, now BACK-BACK-BACK-BACK.

    WTF are you saying...give me an example pic!
    Sure, here is an example from one of my test forums.

    phun.org webmaster says: "Great idea sir! Now how do I do it?"
    Very easy.
    -Go into your AdminCP>>Styles & Templates>>Style Manager
    -Expand current style and find/edit the "postbit" template

    EDIT: vB was messing with the code and parsing some of the HTML. To add this, do the single simple addition to the postbit template provided in the attached text file.

    Yeah, searching is very server intensive with large forums and so many users on at once.

    I just like to limit my clicks where possible. If this mod saves me 30 clicks each day thats 10,950 clicks per year! That would mean I will get carpel tunnel syndrom like 3 years later and my mouse will work an extra year! :)

    Not to mention this could save me like 10 seconds each time I want to find the users posts. Even if I only did that 6 times per day that's a minute saved every day. That's more than 6 hours I am getting back every year!

    Damn, I am wierd. :-?

    no shit, I hate the one minute waiting period. It sucks! But this is a good suggestion by chef host! I was thinking the same thing when I started posting videos. I bet others have wished this shortcut was there as well.
