Can the Inbox be improved?
« on: July 20, 2004, 03:32:32 AM »
The inbox is rubbish!

If I select I want to be notified of new posts in a popular thread I
might get 30x mails in the inbox overnight.

If I select one link then it will usually mean I have read all the
posts and have to wade through all the other mail.

I seriously think the notify mails sent by Wayne should have the
thread title instead of an URL so that you can see each new topic
straight away in the inbox - without needing to click on each
unspecified link!

@hyperspeed,

www.xoops.org.  Pick up a copy of Xoops 2.0.7 and knock yourself out.  I have complained for years, but the current Xoops package is written in such a way that rewriting any part of it would be a major pain in the arse.

What ticks me off the most about these huge projects is that there's no basic flowchart.  I tried studying the Xoops code to see how a "real" PHP project is built, and it just jumps from kernel to core to main to header to include...

I am digging into it, though.

I'm just suggesting improvements, Xoops in general seems pretty darn
good!

;-)

It's just a nuisance for AGA users, particular with MUI based browsers
because every window gives you a `sticky' overall feel to a site.

I think I'll have to upgrade to IBrowse 2.3 soon as I can't upload an
avatar with my old Voyager 2.96.7...

:-D :-D :-D
