The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Forum software
Happy New Year!I've been tinkering with the forum software, in an effort to speed it up a little.
Please let me know if you encounter any glitches.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hello Simon,
I am facing a problem in navigating to the last page of the threads. Although I click on Last Page link, it takes me to some other page. I don't know whether others are also facing similar issues.

I am also facing the same issue secondly I preferred the page setup in which it showed the number of views also.

The last page issue ought to have been dealt with yesterday, so it should be working fine now. Are you still seeing it ?
Hello Fitness,
Yes, the 'views' column was interesting, but it slowed down the server a lot. If you're interested, I'll post the details.
The other problem with it is that we get hit by all sorts of crawlers, some are useful and identify themselves; some aren't and don't. Consequently, not all of the viewers are human beings, and it is almost impossible to have any faith that the 'views' number is meaningful.

Simon,
Seems it is fixed. Would like to suggest an enhancement that could add value:
If it was possible to define a private area for every user where he could scribble some notes that were visible to him only. We could use this area to do analysis and write the names of the remedies and what we think about the case. I tend to forget stuff - remedies and analysis, etc - as the case progresses. Please give it a thought.

Hi Simon
I'd take a faster site over number of views any day!
The EDIT function is giving the ROW INSERTION error.
I have two ideas that you can check out if they appeal to you:
1. Option of PM, few other forums offer it.
2. Improved search function which allows to search by username OR remedy name.
Other than that, we are doing great.
Thanks

Thanks for the heads up on the row insertion error - it's fixed.
The trouble with PM is that we want to keep the correspondence on the forum , in full view of everybody. The reason for this is that posting in front of everybody provides a degree of protection for forum users - other people can jump in if advice is dangerous, or exploitative.
I'll look at adding the username to the search function. Remedy names are there already; unless I've misunderstood (?)
All the best,
Simon

Excellent logic for avoiding PM, I didn't think of it.
You understood correct, remedy names can be searched already but usernames can't.
One more idea:) can we add a signature to our posts?

Hi Simon,
I Have a few observations as mentioed below:
1- I think mentioning all the user IDs in profile that are sharing same the same IP is quite an unnecessary thing. I simply can't understand the reason behind this set-up. Like, for example, if you click on my profile, you would see another person's ID being shown in my profile whom I don't know at all but he certainly lives somewhere around me & is using internet services from the same ISP. I don't know him but who knows if he knows me or not. I have stopped using this forum for the very same reason. Kindly look into this issue as well. I hope this has nothing to do with user safety & privacy.
2- Is it possible that abc could get slightly improved forum & thread formats e.g improved font formats with options like italics, font colouring, the 'like' or 'Thanks' buttons & text 'quote' options etc that are being offered by vbulletin forum features?
3- By using vbulletin Forum features, we could also make it possible for the user to rate each other & eventually set the forum fame of each user. This will make it much easier for the patients to know about the credibility of the prescriber & also through the 'Like' button about the authenticity of the prescription with many fights & quarrels.
Regards,
Asad

Sorry! I logged in today after quite a long time. The user ID linkage thing has been settled now I guess. Thanks :)

Hi Simon,
Actually, the backup row insertion failure is still
coming up when I use the EDIT button on many
threads.

Wow, I wish insulting & quarreling with everyone else here while buttering & flattering one person would help wake-up the sleeping beauty. Response justifies the current situation of abc. My best wishes to everyone on this forum.
GoodBye!

And Simon!
The user ID 'RashidMunzur' that was earlier associated with my this profile is still being shown in my profile as soon as I have logged in from my office, means that person is in the vicinity of my office. Instead of compromising over my real identity,I would rather prefer to stay away & help patients physically in real life than wasting time on a cyber forum. I, therefore, humbly request you to delete my this profile including all threads, post & everything from this forum. Hope to see a response this time!!!

Asad Ghumman,
1) I have removed the Ip sharing thing. It came about when a member was posing as his own miraculously cured patients.
2 & 3) Great suggestions, thank you. I'll add them to the list.

fitness,
Forum names now come up in the search, right at the bottom of the page.
I'll be working on the other stuff shortly.
All the best,
Simon
NB - the editing also works fine again. The last page issue turned out not to be fixed with the emailer, but ought to be now.
