Grrrrrrrrrrrr (database is being slow...)


I can't remember if we asked before (and the forums are too touchy to actually search) if you're using a password on resume.

And remind us what OS.

The email list for team founders is neither shady nor a back room:
http://groups.google.com/group/boinc-team-founders

If there are some missing features in the BOINC-wide team sites,
please say what they are and why, in a calm and even tone.

I added a "user search" feature (html/user/user_search.php).
This is of critical importance for teams - e.g.,
it lets Team Ireland easily see what users from Ireland have
joined your project in the last few days.

This is intended to be linked from your front page.
(see, e.g. the SETI at home home page).

I recommend that all projects upgrade to this code,
and add a link from your home page.

- user web: add a general-purpose user search mechanism.
This lets you lookup up users sorted by
- descending join time
- descending total credit, or
- descending RAC
and lets you filter them by
- country
- presence/absence of team
- presence/absence of profile
It's implemented in such a way that no more than N
DB rows are examined
(i.e. it doesn't necessarily show you all the results)

Fix checked into SVN.

Team member Timo requested this team's foundership on 7 Nov 2007, but left the team, thus canceling the request. To assign foundership of this team to another member, check the box next to member name and click Change founder below.

Does a post filter on the Misfits not double as a PM blocker? Would be my 'foreign' logic in how to configure.

... We also put the "post to thread" (not marked "reply") right next to the "reply to *this* post" link, to encourage people to choose wisely between the two. ...

Maybe another trick would be to rename the "Post to thread" button and use "Create new branch" instead, which would make the effect clearer.

Since GMail added IMAP support I'm using less my web browser, and everything loads much faster than with the GMail web interface (and *instantly* after the first time). If forums had newsgroup access, I'd use my browser even less.

Have you tried Yahoo Mail new interface? It reminds me of 33MHz computers. Well no, mail programs ran *faster* on 33MHz than new webmails do on 3.0GHz. And even if it works at an acceptable speed, each CPU second wasted by bloated web interfaces is one less CPU second that BOINC could use.

Where will the threaded option be if it's not on the web?

My wish list ( as short as it may be ) is to have a centralized location of all Boinc projects on one page with clickable hyperlinks and maybe a brief description of each beside, so as to have the ability to pick and choose which one you want to run, also have ( maybe on same page) the Boinc projects that have the intent of joining up with Boinc.

But WTF is "trimming"?

Making it shorter.

Actually, the forum won't notice if you really made it shorter or not. It just deletes the contents of [TRIM_THIS_quote] tags. If a user actually reads the instructions saying to make it shorter, he would delete TRIM_THIS_ and the quote shows. Somebody who wants the full quote can just delete TRIM_THIS_ without doing any shortening. A newbie who just sticks his "me too" at the end of the huge quote wouldn't delete it.

But what does trimming a quote mean? Deleting part of it?
How could you quote a complete previous post?

I don't know how this auto-shortening will work, and whether the important parts will be deleted and how the software will know what's important (content detection?). Or is it just the scrolling stuff that's to be seen @Pirates?

There is no auto-shortening. If you don't shorten it manually and delete the TRIM_ prefix, the WHOLE quote gets removed.

All newsreaders let you choose "threaded mode" or just sort by date. And you can stay on the web-based forum if you want to.

That's a bad idea anyway. Somebody who posted a question can just see the post that replied to it with the answer, instead of reading the whole thread to see the big post with lots of unrelated replies.

You don't have to use the threaded readers, but by replying questions of different posts in one answer you don't let others use them.

Click? There are keyboard shortcuts on all newsreaders I know; you navigate like on a list, press down to select the next post. And even then, the newsgroup will be an *extra* apart from the web-based forum interface. You don't have to use it.

And a big disadvantage of the tree shaped thread is that you can't really browse the thread as a whole, you have to click each and every post separately. That's far too inconvenient, I would not like to have this "feature" in this forum, imho it makes it less readable.

*Optional* feature. Don't like it, don't use it; but keep the tree structure (by not replying to the thread when you're answering a specific post) to let others use it.

Another advantage I just noticed while skimming some SETI threads: since it's separated in posts, you mark individual posts as read while you read them. On web forums (this one included), when you open a thread, all its posts get marked as read.

I thought we were trying to get rid of the generic "post to thread" in order to get to threaded readers.
