Perhaps even a link back. I sometime have the itch to put an offending post in context. -------------- Myth: Something that never was true, and always will be. "The truth will set you free.

Implementation of something easy would be up to Wesley, and I'd like to see that as well.  I think I even mentioned it on the BW a while back. When I first started moving posts there I think I did include a link back, but at some point dropped the practice. I'll try to remember to do it in the future. -------------- “Why do creationists have such a hard time with commas? Linky“. ~ Steve Story, Legend

I've added a link to the AE navigation menu, so search engines should start spidering those pages within a few hours to days. If you click on the "Official Uncommonly Dense Thread" page from there, though, beware: it's a mere 115MB of HTML, plus the linked graphics. It may serve as a torture test for web browsers, I guess. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

PIII, 500 mhz, etc. If I were to hit the 'All' button, it would probably start smoking.

Lou FCD Posts: 5455 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 28 2008,09:06    A thought about the RSS feed for comments: The feed tells me who's commented and in which thread, but doesn't show the actual comment. I pop in a half-dozen times a day to check on things and my custom is to scroll down the main page to the thread with a last comment that I'm sure I've read, then work my way up the page one thread at a time, searching there for the last comment I've read and then reading all the subsequent comments.  I then hit my back button, move up one thread, repeat. On threads in which my interest is only passing or less, I'm mostly just scanning for flat-out insults without support or substance, or at least the redeeming factor of humor. It would be helpful to me, and I hope useful to everyone else, if the RSS feed could include the comments in their entirety, to speed up that process and let me get to the good stuff. Is this possible/desirable? -------------- “Why do creationists have such a hard time with commas? Linky“. ~ Steve Story, Legend

Wesley R. Elsberry Posts: 4991 Joined: May 2002 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 28 2008,14:26    I imagine "possible" is the right word. Absolutely nothing will happen on that until after my current deadline. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

Wesley R. Elsberry Posts: 4991 Joined: May 2002 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 28 2008,23:18    The RSS here has some hacked-in code in the posting module that puts something information out to a file. There is a PHP file that manipulates that data and puts it in RSS. That PHP is all mine. IkonBoard is all Perl. So I need to add some more information to the output, parse it and encapsulate it so XML parsers don't get offended. Doable, but not real soon. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

IOW, it's tempting to think that you are a vast conspiracy, making up stuff as you go along, and shutting out us non-geeks who desperately seek a simpler explanation.

Yes, that's standard (but annoying) IkonBoard search behavior. There is a complex hack to improve search behavior, and when I get spare time to deal with it, I may add that. In the meantime, it looks like search indexes are actually using one or the other of the more SE-friendly means I've come up with for data on the board, which means that you may get a more specific result using Google. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker
