Hi all,
This is a brand new addition to my own BB, so I don't even know how my own users will react to it, let alone how you guys would
Hack Description:
Posts you have already read in a thread, will show up with their header only (a row that includes the username, post subject and date only). New posts only will appear in full.
This is user selectable via the 'Edit Options' page: each user can decide if he wants this option on or not. (By default all existing and new users will have this turned Off).
A link at the top of the thread offers to "expand all" posts or "contact all" posts.
by clicking on the + sign on a shruk post, it will expand without the page reloading. By clicking on the - sign on an expanded post, it will shrink without the page reloading.
[high]this option is available for your IE users only! Netscape users will see no difference and will not be affected anyway at all by the change[/high]
How to install:
Please download the attached zipfile.
Upload plus.gif and minus.gif to your images directory
Upload install_contractposts.php to your admin directory and run that script.
Note: there are quite a few changes to make (primarily additions, not replacements) to the vb scripts and templates. The process should take you several minutes, so I recommend you close your Bulletin Board while installing the hack.
Demo:
You are welcome to visit my Bulletin Board, at http://www.atlasf1.com , to see what the additions look like. To test it in full (ie, the option of old posts being shrunk by default), you will have to register and modify your options after you have received your password.
Cheers,
Bira

I think I've found a bug in this hack (not really a bug, but read on).
If you enable this hack on MSIE6, it works just fine. Then, use it on Mozilla, and it also works... it contracts oldposts. The problem is, it doesn't give you the + and - buttons. This means that you are unable to expand the already contracted threads using Mozilla.
Because the user control panel portion only appears, like the rest of the hack, when using MSIE, I can't go and turn off this behaviour, either, since it's invisible.
Could I suggest...
1. That Mozilla users, or non-supported browsers, get all messages expanded anyway
-and/or
2. That if the user control panel option is "on", it always gets displayed.

View any of m y posts at my board and the plus/minus image comes up before the users name, then the users name is put below that like with a br, but there is no br. I think it's because I use glow around names. How can i get it to be on the same line?
Sweet hack - installed without problems.
Did some postbit modifications since mine has been altered quite a bit from the original and now it's working great.
I don't know if this is possible, but it would be sweet if in the contracted posts, it would parse links, output bold/italic text, show smilies etc. Know what I mean? Not a big deal, but it would look better. :P
