dn0 Posted May 29, 2005 CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 I wonder if CA3LE can make the Date highlight in RED or some other attention getter when it is older than say a couple of weeks or so?

cak46 Posted May 29, 2005 CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 Or maybe just have them auto-lock if no responses for a coupla weeks? If it's possible.... Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/5010-highlight-old-reply-dates/#findComment-51686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted May 29, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 Or maybe just have them auto-lock if no responses for a coupla weeks? If it's possible.... Locking may be a step too far, sometimes relevant info comes around after time. But, maybe a pop up message when one tries to reply after a couple weeks? Maybe we should start our own topic on this since we are definitely off topic here.... Edit: new topic started, thanks.......

cak46 Posted May 29, 2005 CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 A pop up is a good idea as long as you don't have pop-ups blocked. Just thinking if the topic was locked, the new topic could be merged with the old if it is truly relevant. Maybe not 2 weeks, but more like 3 weeks or a month?

Merging would work, but would require a mods doing. 10-4 on the pop ups, maybe when they reply to an old dead topic, we could just Spam the crap out of them, too. That would make them thing next time.... :haha: Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/5010-highlight-old-reply-dates/#findComment-51700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted May 29, 2005 CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 A javascript notification only requires that javascript enabled... as for the locked thing, it isn't necessary, especially if a javascript notification is used... and it would just be more work for the mods...

Would that be the same type of pop-up like when we get a personal message notification?

I thought precluding the ability to post in old threads would eliminate potential problems down the road (Spam, etc.) Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/5010-highlight-old-reply-dates/#findComment-51711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted June 4, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 4, 2005 I am reviving this one for netmasta... CA3LE, have you seen any of this? We were thinking of some sort of notification when someone is preparing to reply to an old topic. Not anything disruptive, just a little reminder.
