DIY Workshop » Removal of "title text" feature? cmoy  Administrator Joined: Apr. 13, 1999 |  Message [#1] posted on: 10-05-2008 11:30 AM CST (US).   |  |  I've temporarily disabled title text content in the thread listings. This feature is slowing down the forums. I've figured out a way to speed up the title text routine, but before I spend the time, I have to ask: will anyone really miss this feature if I don't restore it? I never use it myself. I also notice that some other sites including hdfi that once had title text now don't support it. [Edited by cmoy on 10-17-2008 at 10:52 PM.] |

It is redundant at this moment b/c it only lists DIY forum posts. However, if someone posts in one of the other forums, that thread will be listed as well. I added the Hot Topics box so people could see if anything was going on in the other forums, which are less visited than this one. |

Do you mean the lightbulb icons in the forums homepage? There have been comments that people are bypassing the forums homepage and going straight to the DIY forum. I put up the Hot Topics Box to make sure non-DIY-forum posts would get more exposure. In fact, this thread should be in the Techno Babble forum. I am posting it here b/c otherwise there wouldn't be many replies. I am thinking of adding more threads to the Hot Topics Box, so they remain in view longer as the list scrolls down.

I also go directly to the DIY forum, but don't need the "hot topic" section because I scan the various threads for new threads or new postings. It has been slow lately. F |
