What About?

Post by Clazzy »

They have it on a lot of other boards, I thought about having a short Topic Subject Sub thing, where you can put a bit of extra info. I'm not really good at describing things so I'll just make one up:

[b]Title: Chocolate....[/b]
[i]Post your favourite kind here![/i]

That would be what comes up on viewtopic.php
Would that be possible to add?

I know this is double posting but I can't edit the post to chane the bbcode. Also, would it be possible to put in an attachment mod, and f you did then if people didn't want it then an on/off switch would be great.

"Sub-topic", possibly, but before just posting whatever that pops into your head, have a look around first, becausing excluding some three topics within the last week, the phpBB2.2 roadmap.

Sorry, I didn't actually know about that. I have a load of ideas which could be useful (and if you don't put them in there's always hacks :))

They may or may not be implemented, or it might remain as a mod.

I"ll tell you right now, I absolutly hate that feature. Its completely usless. The sub-title on a topic title is worthless and adds nothing to the forum experiance. Anything you need to express to the user reading the forum about a topic can be done with the topic title.

So unless everyone overrules me you won't be seeing this fature any time soon.
