We've installed another tiny but groovy modification. You know how one of the columns in the forum list is the number of replies in a thread? Well, if you click on that number, you get a pop-up window listing the people who posted and how many times.

Usually that's just an FYI thing, but now if you click on the number of posts a user has made, it opens another window that lists all her posts from that thread. Not a biggie, but if you're looking for one specific post in a long thread, that wee hack will definitely come in handy.

Here's what it looks like when I click on the "57" to the right of the Historical Fiction, Anyone? thread:

And here's (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408&onlybyuserid=2) what you get when you click on the 15 to the right of my name. Pretty fucking cool, eh? :yup:

A cool feature...I gotta admit that it isn't that handy now because there aren't that many big threads, but if/when this board starts growing by leaps and bounds, it could come in very handy.

Oh, don't pretend you haven't already used it already to read all-livius all the time threads. :D
