[Nms-cgi-devel] wwwboard susgestions

[Dezdan <De...@De...>]

Howdy!

First I would like to thank you guys for working on MSA's old scripts =
and
fixing the necessary bugs! The dreaded threading problem on MSA's =
wwwboard
was a headache and a half!

A few things I have noticed about the new version of wwwboard and have a =
few
comments on:=20

On the main board page, there is no preview button if that option is
enabled. I understand why it is not there, since the HTML is static and
doesn't rely on the perl file variables for creation and thus can't tell =
if
a user has that option enabled. If the preview mode will work from the =
main
page for posting new threads, perhaps a small bit of documentation =
should be
added to the readme file instructing those whom are HTML illiterate how =
to
get the preview button on the main page. Perhaps just add the HTML, but =
have
it commented out and instruct users to remove the comment tags if they =
have
the preview option enabled.=20

Also having to do with the preview, I noticed that when you preview a =
post
that has an Optional Link URL or an Optional Image URL, neither of them =
will
show in the preview. One problem that I see often is with new users who =
are
unfamiliar with MSA style boards attempting to add a photo =
unsuccessfully.
If you can have the preview show the photo or link that a user is =
attempting
to add, I believe it would be very beneficial to a user, so they don't =
have
to actually make the post to find out if their photo/link works.=20

Anyway, just my $0.02...=20

Thank you all again!
