Title: List of threads (with url links and thread titles). Can it be done with SMF?
Post by: tranthidung on November 20, 2019, 03:04:25 AM
I don't know whether my ideas are relevant with SMF-based forums but please give me some words to describe my suggestions.

AFAIK, forum users can only see their past threads by using the link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=UserID;sa=showPosts by clicking on "Show the last topics started by this person." in their profile pages at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile

The current available list has disadvantage (IMO): Users have to scroll down very long pages to get which threads they want to find.

I propose (if it is possible to do with SMF) to build a list of threads for each user, in the following format (I used my two latest threads as example for the format):

In chronological orders (if there are options to sort them out descendingly or ascendingly, it will be great).
  • RBF or CPFP transactions if I reinstall my computer and lose transaction history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202215.0)
  • Stats on signatures worn by top 100 merited users (from 2019w23-2019w44) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5201016.0)

I am not sure it will affect the forum's bandwidth or not (because I know there are some features disabled due to effects on bandwidth).

Can it be done with the forum or with user-scripts?

Any ideas?

Hey, excellent work, fella.

I have never known that page - exactly what I suggested. It is a hidden page (at least for me).  :-\

Now, let's move further: Why not include it in the user profile page, under "Show the last topics started by this person." with a description like:
"Show the last topics started by this person. (list of topics).

Or only have one line: "Show the last topics started by this person. (list of topics). Then, if readers have interests after glancing at topic titles, they will click on hyperlinks to check contents.

Or after clicking on ""Show the last topics started by this person.", people will see "Get list of topics" (in bold) at the top of topic history page.

OP, a few days back SFR10 proposed a similar idea. You can check here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5201464.msg53074995#msg53074995. I think this will help your case, and additionally, you can check other users post on a topic.

Thanks... Indeed, I have learned about a new feature.

And yeah, I agree with @tranthidung, it'd be better if it is added in our profiles.

@Loyce, @PrimeNumber7, @DDmrDDmr, @Suchmoon whoever got the time please make a thread with all hidden stuff. TIA!

I can not disagree with you.

Here: Updated List of Bitcointalk Hidden Pages/Post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5112334.20). Are they all hidden stuffs ? I don't know.

Question:

Can I choose to sort my topics chronological in descending or ascending orders?
Code:
https://bitcointalk.org/gettopics.php?user=1292764;sort=gettopics,desc/asc
or
https://bitcointalk.org/gettopics.php?user=1292764;sort=gettopics,first/last
I tried and could not get it done.

For me, now it is not a problem because I have not made too many threads.
For others who've made so many threads, it will help them to save time when searching through their topic history.

Taking your question from another topic back here:
Off topic, but can you do this, @LoyceV?

I could create this, but I'm not going to. It's much easier if you just hit CTRL-End to go to the end of the page.

I did not know this before you told me. I tried but CTRL-End does not work. In contrast, I tried Fn-PgDn and it works. I am thank you for your hints.
