That is, I suppose, a good method. It certainly is if it works for you. Thanks for the suggestion.

Huh?

"the homepage of those members

Homepage? I guess you mean the "Profile" page and I agree it would be nice to have a link there to the person's picture.

[fung_derf]

I just go back to the message via a key word, cut and paste it and send it to myself with a header describing what it is, then I can file it where I want and by the headline tell what the heck I've saved.

[fung_derf]

Hey Bobby babe...how about putting a link in the homepage of those members who have their pictures posted? It's a pain having to go through currently 51 pages trying to find someone, when it could be so easy to just click to their homepage.
How'z bout it Bob? huh? huh?

[dropdeadfred]

:) good going sneaky

[Susie924]

Shot down!

Oh well......nite Fred!

Bob's gonna be mad!!!

[Koikaze]

Oooooo, whatta nice observation. Maybe I should ...

Nahhh.

Guess not.

Not tonight, dear, I have a headache.

Fred

[Susie924]

I smile at all of your posts Fred!

[Koikaze]

There you go, again!!!!!

Tempting me to write a brief rhymed comment on the parts of speech. I would, but I know you too well. You wouldn't even smile.

Fred

[Susie924]

When you're finished can you do mine??

[Koikaze]

Thanks, Susie

I must be a dummy, because I never found that capability. Now, I can do my housecleaning.

Fred

[Susie924]

I may not totally understand what you want though!

edit: another 924 grub!

[Susie924]

Fred,
I think you can if you know which PM you want.
I just did a search of PM's to and from you to me and when I opened the first one up.....I just clicked on "file message" and put it in a folder.

[Koikaze]

Bob, anything you can do to help with the management of private messages would be welcome. The biggest problem I've encountered is the inability to go into stored private messages and move individual messages to other folders. I tried several ways of organizing my private messages, but invariably archived one by responding to it and then was unable to go back and place it where I wanted it.

It would be a blessing if you could provide the ability to move messages after they've been stored.

may a zilla burp'n siggies be suppress in "Next 100" view only

Thats a Phurp'n good idea :o)

For Premium & Grandfathered IH members,
BobZ could in-plant-mint this the same way...

as: Filtering Off

we see at top of page.

with: Siggies Off

also at top of page that flips: Show Signatures in Messages

location: My Account / My Settings... Configuration Item

extra - super-long articles

might BobZ introduct another "limit'n" setting we can use?

For example,
Premium-Plus and Granfathered Over-the-Top members
can be able to set the number of bytes to be displayed
for each post read, like [all, 10, 100, 1000]

d:oug

[Burpzilla]

This one may be impossible, but it doesn't hurt to ask...

The "Next 100" is excellent, obviously, for burning through a a large number of posts that have built up on a board.

However, if people have posted super-long articles on the board, it's a strain on the index finger to have to scroll down through all the lengthy text, especially since (I believe) most people don't read most articles.

Would it be possible to just show the first 12 lines or so of a message during the "Next 100" view? The rest of the post could be hidden under a clickable link, perhaps, "go to this post."

That would let us read most posts in their entirety during "Next 100" mode but we wouldn't have to slog through the long articles except for the first 12 lines.

Edit: similarly it would be nice if there was a setting that allowed me to suppress siggies in "Next 100" view only, because those are a hassle too during Next 100, but still see them during normal viewing.

[Mattu]

PayPals...and one-for-all filtering...PLEASE, sugar plum!

[dropdeadfred]

I don't go to SI much, couple times a year if that..

[dropdeadfred]

I'm with ya.. a user change.. yeah I'm cool with that for sure. I just like things to stay the same

[kirby49]

It's one of those options that can be changed to the user's liking. Gotta help these old eyes any way we can, although I don't have any colour blindness, this messing with the number in the MailBox today is dizzying.

[Susie924]

Unless we have a choice between the two.

I like IHUB's layout much better than SI

[dropdeadfred]

no, keep Ihub different than SI.. Ihub is great the way it is!

[kirby49]

An old request revisited as there was no reply.

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

Any feature requests, or shall I start working on getting the PayPal subscription process automated?

[gotmilk]

I think Bob needs to be asked to do this a number of times
that exceeeeeeeds redundant :o) #msg-4860899

[ergo sum]

Hey that is great. I have two kids that are in their junior year.

One thing. On the Profile view. If we could drop the Profile when we use the Previous 50.

[gotmilk]

Msg Replied To: "... would settle for text string searches,
another words 2 or more words enclosed in quotes."

Its available for $1.

Thats the price I want to sell it to SI+IH (currently Bob, Matt & Dave)
where "it" are the never-made-public vanilla flavor C sources
of the search program I made back in Windows 3.1 era.

It will pump out each line in a text file that contains a hit
of words and phrases you input.

No logical operators, but has as option to display earlier and later lines
that surrond the line with the search hits.

Very small and fast...
Directory of C:...
12/08/2004 05:32 AM <DIR> .
12/08/2004 05:32 AM <DIR> ..
04/21/1998 09:24 PM 21,759 FIT.EXE

And it even accepts an input text file where each search item
is terminated with a NewLine(Enter keyboard key) so that you
can create text files containing different search criterion items
and simply give the program that file rather than type in again
a bunch of search items.

On Silicon Investor I sent E. Charters a copy of the .EXE
but he has not the ability to tell me how he found it useful.

I'm willing to sent anyone a copy of the .EXE and run it and
then hopefully tell Bob what they think.

I run it at the DOS Prompt on my Windows XP eventhought
I last built it using the Windows 3.1 SDK.

I forget the words, but that option to take as input the file
containing the list of search items is something like @INPUT
or whatever reads what you type into the keyboard, so while
you can type them in using the keyboard as the input file,
that file you can create using like NOTEPAD.EXE can then
be inputted using the Unix Pipe symbol/program,
as,
> TYPE IN.TXT /(pipe character) FIT.EXE ...
and,
I usually capture the output using the > or >>

If I can ever find the card I was using to take videos from the camcorder and make mpg's out of them, I'll put last year's solo online. It was very good and she got 1's both at district and state with it.

She got 7th chair this time in District band, but didn't get one for State, though she did get a callback. Last year she got 5th chair in District's concert band and 3rd in their jazz band. I'm assuming it was concert band this year. She said there were 170 trumpet players auditioning this year.

Her solo this year is *very* aggressive. Concert Etude, Opus 49, by Alexander Goedicke. If you get a chance, definitely listen to a copy of it. We likely won't have a copy of her performing it until the school's spring concert. She's got it pretty close to nailed down, but I'm still quite a ways away. The piano part is one of the more difficult pieces I've ever dealt with, mostly because of the speed (mm 1/4-note=144, and most measures are full of sixteenth notes), and in large part because of accidentals that aren't notated very conveniently.

And it's very unhelpful that our Samick console piano is just the most horrible thing to try to play fast on. I'm more accustomed to a good grand's action, with keys that come up as fast as your fingers do. On the Samick, as fast as this song is, a key can still be on its way up when I need to hit it 2-3 notes later.

Her solo next year is going to be the standard Haydn piece that college students typically do (and that I did my Senior year) and I'm really looking forward to it. The piano part is a lot easier.

Bob

I always liked SI Classic. The narrower box reads more like a newspaper column and I find it easier to read. You quickly found the fix in the new S.I. and I would like it implemented here. My favourite size is the same as this compose window <G>.

Thanks

Bob

[ergo sum]

Been a while since we had a Darth update.

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

Yeah, those dropdowns are populated based on what you've got selected for Favorites.

[ergo sum]

Oh I see that is because I don't use favorites so the criteria are different. Now I know how to do it. Thanks.

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

If you're using Advanced Search, the selected person and board are ANDed.

[ergo sum]

That would work if it applied to public messages( And Or) to specific boards or people. Not important. Just something I sometimes find my self wanting.

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

Boolean searches. Is there someway I could do this?

Item 6 in the Advanced Search can be used to select between AND and OR on your search words.

That's the full extent of it.

[occams_razor]

I would setle for text string searches, another words 2 or more words enclosed in quotes.

Definitely.
It's kinda redundant to display someone's PROFILE info past
the first screen and we're looking for and zapping redundancies...

[chisox pat]

Thanks, not sure how I missed that.

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

The ability to pull up multiple posts on a single screen, for instance in reading a person mark's unread posts,

I just checked and it already works that way.

You can click "Read Last 50 Messages" in a person's profile, or if you click their number of unread messages on the Favorites page, it'll display all of the messages on one screen rather than stepping through them one at a time the way SI does.

I'm sure both of those only work for Premium members, and you are one.

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

You're right. I forgot I had that here. Need to do the same on SI if I haven't yet.

And whatever logic I'm using to do that from the profile could be used from the Favorites page.

Hmmm... Wait a durned second. It works that way on the Favorites page, too.

I need to go re-read the original question.

[Koikaze]

Bob, doesn't the user have the option of going to the profile page of the person whose message they way to read and select READ LAST 50 MESSAGES?

I use this feature to help keep up with Zeev and find it very helpful.

Fred

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

It's still a different enough approach from the way read_msgs.asp works, that it'd effectively be a new asp from scratch with very little copied from read_msgs. And read_msgs.asp, with very little in the way of wasted space, is 211 lines or 8.7k.

It's something I'd like to do, but it's not happening this week.

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

This should be operational now.

It might not be immediately operational on messages you've already viewed. Wasn't in my case until I did a Reload on the message, which is really odd since all pages here are set to expire immediately, meaning they shouldn't be cached.

[Old_Drummerman]

Yep! As Missy posted earlier, it's working fine now.

Many thanks.

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

The ability to pull up multiple posts on a single screen, for instance in reading a person mark's unread posts, as you can when reading replies to a message.

Next nn and Previous nn work that way now, but not when reading a person's unread posts. That's not an easy enough one to tackle this go-round.

A "view thread" option on following posts backwards.

I don't understand this one.

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

That should be fixed now.

[gotmilk]

Onebgg, A quick follow up to what I echoed to Bob
from your post to return to Public post after doing PM.

When I'm reading Public posts using READ 100 and click
on the Keep option, my screen refreshes itself automatically
and puts me at the very beginning of the READ 100 rather
than where the post I did the Keep on.

Here I can do a BACK and have my screen position itself
to what I saw just as I clicked Keep.

These BACKs are safe except when causing them double postings.

If Bob correct the issue you posted about, then maybe that
will allow Bob to add the PM option on all Public posts contained
in the READ[10, 50, 100] list we obtain.

...making it so [when] respond in PM from a public message,
we are returned to the post we have just responded to
instead of being thrown into our mailbox. Please??? [end]

Bob,

I just sent myself a few Test123 PMs from a post of mine,
and indeed as ONEBGG spoke, left standing inside my IH Mailbox
feel'n quite befuddled wonder'n why I'm here :o)

I was able to do two BACKs to return like a time machine
and see myself again just prior to send'n off the PM,
and then there in that post that I decided to send a PM.

Guess thats ok just so one does a Refresh/Reload...
... or not. Gotta think that one out more.

Using browsers Opera or Firefox, one can create a new Tab
started in a new windows upon the selection to do that PM,
and this way you can simply close that window that finds one
inside the Mailbox.

Works great! Thank you Bob! Good day to you!
