I think I've found out to write most of the page in html but still include php-code. The left module on the index page will be removed, the news section will be done in html and then there will be php modules on the right side. I think that will work well! (But that will have to be next week, after I'm back from my holiday!)

vBSEO on it's way. SEO optimization for the forum. I've heard it can be quite trouplesome to install, so there might be some glitches in the matrix untill it's fully up.

And it's installed!!!

Only a short glitch with some minor downtime.

The link list have been given a major upgrade. Moved a lot of links from my previous link list at GBC's RuneQuest Links, BRP links, HeroQuest Links & Glorantha Links to the BRP link list. Got any more, please submit them!

All the appropriate english links have been moved over from the Gloranthan link list to the BRP/D100 link list.

Next step will be the foreign links!

I am having an issue with unread messages. It seems that after awhile, all the unread messages are being marked as read so I can't easily figure out what I have missed. What triggers this?

Is there a way to leave all messages as unread until I actually go into the thread no matter how long it takes me?

Thanks.

We are talking about thread messages, not private messages here, right?

The way it works now is by cookies marking which threads have had new messages added to them since your last visit. I'll look into it tomorrow.

Had a look at it now.

There is an alternative to cookie based thread markings, and that is database based thread markings. The database would then keep the "true" read/unread marks indefinitely, but this would also highly increase the processor load, which may slow things down.

So, at a first glance it does not look like a good idea. IF however, this is a feature more people find lacking from the forum, I'm willing to do a trial run to see how it goes. But as I have allready planned to add 2 more pieces of forum-integrated software to the site allready, I'm a bit sceptical to changes that might slow the site down.
