About the forum view (Admin Issues)
Post reply

Hello hairsite,

First of all, that's a great new forum. Well done man.

I was wondering if it would be possible to view the "number of views" in thread mode ? Also, when in thread mode, is it possible to click and view all the posts of the thread like in the old version ? That was pretty useful to see who had just posted while keeping in mind the begining of the discussion.

thanks in advance
FE

ps : i will revise my maths from now on, 24 +18 ... huhhh..where is my calculator ?

Thanks for the feedback. Please keep them coming otherwise I have no idea what needs to be changed.

As for the "views count", you can see the # of views by clicking BOARD VIEW. I will see if there is a way to incorporate the views count in the TRHEAD mode as well without cluttering up the forum.

Also, to VIEW ALL posts in a thread, simply click this icon [image]

You can find the icon next to each thread. It will give you the same "VIEW ALL" feature like the old forum.

And if you don't want to do any math before making a post, simply REGISTER at

Nice job on the format, layout, etc. It's easier to read/follow and looks better. Clicking on the little icon isn't working for me though--I have to open each post individually or read in board view. Is there a way to make the forum default to the board view instead of thread view?

What happens when you click on the little icon that is to the RIGHT of each thread ? It does nothing or does it give you an error message?

Yes, but that is a global setting that I have to set and once I set the default to BOARD view, that will apply to everyone in the forum. Let me see if there is a way for the individual member to set the default himself.

You can now set your own default, either BOARD or THREAD view.

Simply click your screen name (immediately above the SEARCH box near the top right hand corner) and then choose EDIT USER DATA. In the same area near where you put your post signature, there is an option that allows you to set your own default, either THREAD or BOARD view.

Hope it helps.

Ok--the right-side icon works and I changed my default settings also. Thanks. Is there a way to route viewers from the old hair multiplication forum to the current one(s) when they click on the tabs from the old forum? For some reason, the browser address for the new forum won't save in my browswer window, whereas the old "hairsite.com/hair-multiplication" still does, but this sends me to the old link. Not a big deal, since I'm aware of the changes and book marked the new page, but some newbies not familiar with the changes might get stuck in the old forum if they just go to "hairsite.com"

@ FatalEvolution
To HairSite (important)
Post reply

HairSite - while the new format is visually great, there seems to be a bit of confusion about how to post to a particular sub-forum.

For instance, the HM forum is practically the only forum I use. I'm not interested in topicals or HT, so I don't read, and don't post on those forums. As an inveterate voyeur, I've sometimes read and posted to the Celebrity Hair forum, which seems to have faded from view recently.

However, with the new forum format, it appears that one, combined format containing ALL posts from ALL the different men's "sub-forums" is the default viewing and posting mode.

You can navigate directly to the HM forum, but unless you specifically do that (which can be tricky and confusing for some, especially newcomers), your HM-related post will get "lost" among hundreds of other posts on topicals, HT, hair replacement, drugs, etc. And when forum members want to visit their favorite forum, unless they specifically navigate to THAT forum directly, and click on the drop-down menu to post to THAT forum, they will be seeing threads and posting to a conglomerated forum with hundreds of posts unrelated to their favorite topic.

The most important aspect of this problem, which I think needs to be addressed, is that it appears that UNLESS A POSTER SPECIFICALLY POSTS TO HIS FAVORITE SUB-FORUM, his post will be "merged" with the all-topic "mega forum".

And I'm not sure if that's a good idea, because it tends to break down the distinctness of the separate forums.

HairSite, is there a way to prevent this or to make it easier (or more obvious) for posters to navigate to and post to JUST their favorite forum (like HM), without having posts get lost in an all-topic "mega forum"?

Is there a way to better segregate the separate forum topics so this doesn't happen?

I believe there is a feature that allows people to date stamp the posts or mark them as read. I will have to find out for sure how it works.

For me, I usually just go by the threads' COLOR. The color changed once the post is read and that's how I usually tell.

This is NOT the final product yet. There are already several enhancements and customization in the works, please keep the feedback coming so that I can add them to the list.

You should have ONE full day to edit your post. Let me know if you are unable to do so. But this is ONLY for registered members. If you posted as a guest or unregistered member, then you will not be able to edit your post.

The math hurdle is for people who wants to post without logging in. If you register an account, you will not be prompted to do the math each time you post.

I think that when you press refresh / mark all as read which are the little red circular arrows then all the arrows next to the posts turn grey. The problem is that they do not seem to turn grey from red when they are read.

Just athought; the board view that shows all of the posts has a very small icon rather than the previous "view all" icon. Could this be madfe bigger. Good luck with the teething troubles anyway.

Hello hairsite,

is there a way, when you're registered and want to answer a post, to be brought directly to the login page and then to the answer post ? That used to be that way in the old forum and was useful for a quick answer & login combo. At present time, if one wants to answer a post, one has to first login and then re-find the post where to answer, it's a bit redundant sometimes ....

thanks in advance

Unfortunately, not possible at this point, that may be a major script change and I am not sure if that can be done just yet.

However, if you really want to, you can still post a quick reply without logging in. The forum will ask ask you do a simple math calculation and then you can post without logging in. But you will have to slightly modify your username, make it FataEvolution2 or something like that.

Let me think of other ways to get around this....
