Excessive Forum News


Excessive Forum Updates

I was pretty unhappy with the UBB style feature in the Excessive Forum, and I felt that it was under developed, and didn't even immitate the real UBB style boards well enough. I spent some time working on it (as dumb as working on something you won't even use feels) and it now works and acts much more like a real ubb style board. These are the changes that have been made:

  • UBB style now shows 'last reply' information on the thread index.
  • UBB style now orders threads based on last reply, not time of creation. This means if you reply to a thread, it is bumped to the top of the list.
  • Threadlimit increased to 30 from 15 on UBB style thread index, per page.
  • Increased the width of the thread index table from 75% to 100%
  • With these changes in place, using the UBB style will be much more accurate to what using a board like that is really like.

    More Updates

  • UBB Style now accuratley displays the number of replies.
  • UBB Style will now only show last reply information if there actually is a reply, other wise it will just say there are no replies yet.
  • I just noticed those issues a few hours after I wrote this initial changelog, so I went in and fixed them as well.

    Even More Updates

    I actually created these bugs while adding the new features and fixes... so I fixed them:

  • UBB Style would show Jordan as the author of every post... it now shows the correct author.
  • Not sure how I missed that one, but thanks to Michelle for pointing it out.

    but who cares... ubb suxxors LOLOL noobs
