Hilighted comments + disabling | Journals | Crossfire

are u kinda hyperactive? :o

fusen aim for more important thingys pls :XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

k brb, banning you

Parent

or unban joof

everyone is innocent untill its 100% clear imo and in joof's case its far from 100% clear tbh

Parent

I didn't ban him, take it up with whoever did

Parent

decem did, but he wont admit that he did it without any real proves

Parent

I got banned aswell without any real proof :P

Parent

except ure own confession?

Parent

I got banned before that :P

Parent

i hope gl for ur irl life :>

Parent

nice =)

Great, except it doesn't seem to work!

I use Opera.

what "doesn't work"?

apart from opera ofcourse :P

Parent

Oh, actually it does work, but the colours are so ridiculously similar that I couldn't notice the difference before :DD

Parent

BUT OMG THE COLOURS ARE FAR TOO DIFFERENT THAT IT RUINS MY LIFE AND GIVES ME "EYE CANCER"

yeah the colour is supposed to be similar so that it doesn't totally stand out. If on your screen the colour is basically identical then you need to calibrate the colours :P

Parent

but i like my gamma / brightness / colours at 100% ='(

Parent

try using the default style, wouldnt seem to work with Dark / Pink either here.

Parent

I use the default scheme.

Parent

i am using the latest opera aswell and for me it is only working when I'm using the default scheme.

then i dont know, sry.

Parent

I've only just added it to the alternative themes

Parent

yeh its working now, thanks :]

Parent

why not highlighted comments since the last visit on a thread?

cos then you have to store a shit ton of entries in db that I don't think is worth it

Parent

it makes sense

anyway it would be easier to see real new stuff on a page with 500+ comments

Parent

sure it'd be easier and a complete solution, but when you think of how many new comments are made every day, the best solution that also takes into account load times etc is a time based solution like the one used :P

Parent

yep

it's better than nothing and useful, good job!

Parent

Technically speaking "highlighted comments since the last visit" is also time based. ;)

Parent

not in the same meaning tho :P

Parent

"Highlight posts older than T" is exactly the same, only difference is from where you get T.

Parent

'highlights posts older than one year whether you have read them or not' is slightly different than 'highlights posts you have not read'

as one is due solely to time and the other is irregardless of time and due to you reading it or not

Parent

[I meant newer than T of course.]

Seems we're not on the same page. :)

There's no way of knowing which individual comments someone has actually read, what is needed is a timestamp saying when the user last viewed the thread. Then the logic can be identical, and the only difference is how you calculate/retrieve T.

T = current_time - 15 minutes
or
T = last_time_the_user_viewed_this_thread

if(time_of_comment > T) then highlight_comment

(And note that I'm not saying it's worth it in terms of effort vs usability vs performance, I have no way of knowing that but would guess that it's not. :)

Parent

you could hook up js to see when the current comment is at a certain part of the page say the middle and also time the length it's stayed there, or just trigger ajax call everytime you scroll past a comment which would mean you at least scanned the page content :P

but in the end this is all just being pedantic as the main idle of a "unmark when read" comes from forums and you typically read the forum post when clicking on the page :P

so the difference in definition would still stand

Parent

yey \o/

thnx!

nice :]

i like your flag

Parent

i like yours aswell, very najsz !

Parent

good idea!

i find that a bit usuless :>

is it possible that its not working with the dark theme?

Yeah, its not working indeed.
But please dont change that, i dont like those highlighted things.. at least one style without :p

Parent

YOU CAN TURN IT OFF NWO SHERLOCK

Parent

doesn't work for me :<
smth to do because I use firefox extension "stylish" and special crossfire css?

if you are using stylish, add

Quote
div.constrainImagesNew {
background:#EFE8E1 !important;
}

Parent

thanks holy drago, works fine!

Parent

Nice, now people hiding their ET:QW hate in long lists of comments will have no escape!

lol, you really are on a mission
the problem is that they compared the game to ET, if they had made a fresh start i think nobody would whine cuz its the only game with big maps and cars that has fun smg action.

Parent

disabled it.

would be nice if you could configure the time like: highlight 5 mins old comments/ 10 mins / 15 mins

5 = uber refresher? :P

Very good idea anyway, though if you do it thread specific the entire advantage of the time based thingy is wasted :P

Parent

not yet working in the other xfire styles, isn't it?

soon xfire will be able to give me a blow job

I can do that as well.

Parent

well done adding that check box

doesn't seem to work for me either, using firefox and default style

I cant even log in using firefox :E

Parent

i thought its a firefox error XD

i like it but i don't like the #EFE8E1 bg color used, change to #E2E4EC pls?

Anyway nice work again Fusen :>

any better then?

Parent

Much better :>

Parent

where are the new flags?:<

WHY CAN'T IT JUST SAY *NEW* IN RED NEXT TO THE DATE AND TIME

caruzo on 03/08/08, 16:36:04 *NEW*

It would be useful and it wouldn't fuck your eyes up.

agreed with this skaterboy.

Parent

because the whole idea is when you scan the comments, your eyes get drawn to the new text.

wouldn't be the case if you try and highlight the timestamp as it's above the actual text and seperated by a hr

Parent

@ Xfire 2 theme it's kinda hard/dark to tell (not sure if you get me), is there anyway I or you can make it brighter?

Parent

I found it quite bright for the xf2 theme lol

I'll test in a second with a brighter setting

Parent

Im thinking typical highlighter yellow would be nice, but then if you found the current too bright you would probably be blinded by yellow!

Parent

nah it's just trying to make it so it doesn't completely stick out, it's supposed to be a subtle hint not a HUGE FLASHING ALERT

if you get what I mean :P

what monitor are you using to view? as it may be you have the brightness set up pretty high so it currently fades in a little too much with the other colours

Parent

I disagree, 100%. Seeing bright red *NEW*'s are not easy to notice, they also won't fuck your eyes out. The idea behind it is nice, but at least for me, the red backgrounds just give too much of a headache.

edit: I tried it on again, NOW THE FRIGGIN' BACKGROUND IS BLUE. Goddamn, it's even worse than the previous pink one.

Parent

people seemed to reply better to this blue look than the old beige one.

I think the problem is your monitor settings tbh, the colours seem to be a lot harsher for you then everyone else.

find a suitable hex colourcode for you that doesn't seem to make your eyes bleed

Parent

They are not harsh, they are just friggin' annoying. My eyes focus on the different color in the background instead of the actual text which makes reading hard and gives me headaches. AFAIK I am not the only one.

Parent

sounds like a personal issue :/ which you can easily disable it for

Parent

It has been disabled from day 1, but it would be kinda nice feature if it wasn't so anti-me.

Parent

I'll continue looking for a nicer way of displaying it tho.

Parent

You rule!

Parent

looks nice

crossfire is getting makeovers all the time lately :O

If you want to turn this feature off, go to 'Edit Profile' and unclick 'Highlight Comments'

ty vm, anoying highlighterd comments

Concept and Management by Stuart "Tosspot" Saw, Coding and Maintenance by Jeroen "taLa" De Ridder FUSEN.

+ not ---

Parent

Parent

oh, i thought my monitors dieing :'<

lol+1

Parent

:DD i can only notice difference on my crt :DD on lcd comments look absolutely the same :DD

eyecancer, removed it

turned off.

Fusen for president!

wut

hello. give me 5 points plz. i cant stand to have none and there is nothing to do with a regular humand brain that gives you some.

sorry but i dont see any difference

me neither oO

Parent

cool :D

Disabled it, because old comments are like pages in a book - If you read them, you'll remember which one was last.

Besides CF looks better without highlight.

I want a guestbook in my profile :(

plz fix the search option

explain?

Parent

profile textbox is white with xf2 theme

Parent

nice, I'll certainly use it

highlight colour looks shit ;(
