Pshaw, people have been grovelling for months for it for here, both publicly and less publicly. The concern about Karl's/vbgamer's mod was performance punishment and it really don't scale all that well.

My hack does solve that to a degree but has other side effects such as marking unread cancels it, notify options are still present (though it throws an error if you try it, sensibly enough). Could always point TPTB to it and see what they have to say.

Might have to install it on SimpleDesk to try it out in a live environment...

After recent "happenings" here i have the impression that you stabbed the community in it's back.

And that is certainly the end of any good software.

I honestly liked to use the smf forum software but
i think i will switch to another where the staff is not split in half.

I will see what comes out of this site in a few weeks/months.

It was good to know you guys.

But this is something not taken lightly!
I hate ppl who do this ^. GTFO! WTF do they always have to announce it to everyone when they don't care? I mean he only has 75 posts! It's not like anyone is going to miss him! The same happens in my forum.

Yes I know you can turn off email notifications. I was meaning on a per topic basis rather than globally. :)

Go to Profile --> Notifications, and everything listed there has a checkbox on the right, then there's a button at the bottom that says "Unnotify" - is that what you're talking about, or did I miss something?


Arantor

No, what Antechinus means is that if you reply to a topic, it will appear evermore in "Show new replies to your posts." and he'd like to remove that without deleting his posts.

What has his number of posts have to do with anything?

Those who say that something cannot be done should get out of the way of those who are willing to try.

75 posts suggests not a regular member of the community, just a passer-by, so fewer people will notice or care if they disappear.

Haven't you noticed a drastic decrease in ( good ) themes and mods ?

If you need good themes or mods you can either make your own or find somebody who will do it for a fee. You can't expect people to just make it for you... or blame them if they don't...

Not necessarily true.  Magic_Mike's posts date back to July of 2004, which suggests that he may not be the most verbose person, but definitely not just a passer-by who posts for a day or two and moves on.  In fact, his opinion probably holds a great deal of weight, since it seems he takes the time to read a lot more than he writes.

Still no point in saying he's leaving. No one gives a ****.

Obviously, you give a ****.  Why else would you post in this topic, and as many posts in this topic as the OP?  That's a full 1% of your own posts on any topic on this site, since you like counting posts.  Looks like you give more of a **** than you want to admit.

hmm, I guess your right, I do give ****. Not that this guy is leaving, but that he makes stupid topics like this. Although the one farewell topic I am looking forward to, is when you leave. One less smartass on the internet.

I'd actually prefer Orstio not to leave because not only does he remind me where my rightful place is (under the stain in the carpet :P) but also as a former developer of SMF, I believe he offered to return under the right circumstances to help with 2.0 final.


Orstio: Re your comments to my observation, sure that's true too. I simply took it at face value that 75 posts *suggests* what I observed. Doesn't mean it will be the case - as you identified. But in most cases it's not entirely incorrect. *shrug* It's an observation rather than a judgement

Don't worry, he won't leave. He has 15,576 posts! He's not gonna leave them behind! BTW whats a Charter Member?

Arantor

I have over double that and as no doubt Orstio will remind me, I've tried to leave more than once before being encouraged to not leave.
