Site Improvements (merged)

On the subject of emoticons, I note that the forum software will not allow uploading of emoticons available from a standard iPad.

@flybymike, post moved

Mobile device emoticons are not generally cross-platform portable.

You have windows, mac os, ios, android. All do it differently. Most of the “fashionable” emoticons are 4-byte characters and the encoding varies between brands etc. No doubt there is a solution but it’s unlikely to be trivial.

We now have the EuroGA Airports Database.

FAQ

15,000 airports and the number of user reports is growing nicely, at over 300 now.

I am putting together a list of things to do. For the user-visible stuff, I have

  • interface for EuroGA Airports Database, to auto update a thread once a day with any new airport reports
  • fix the “last post deleted” issue above
  • “mark all threads read” button above
  • quoting on some portable devices – here – this is not a clear issue AFAICT

Can anyone think of anything else which is hopefully not too complicated?

The above list is being done.

Regarding #3 above, would this appear just within each topic and would then just mark all the threads within that topic as read? Or would it appear only on the Active
Threads page and would mark all those as read?

@derekf originally asked for this so may be interested, if he is still around.

OK. Above items mostly done:

1) Daily digest of new EuroGA Airport Database reports – here

2) “Last post in a thread deleted” issue fixed

3) “Mark all threads read” not implemented; very few people asked for this over the years; it is complex (there are at least two ways to offer this) and the last person to ask for it hasn’t been seen for ages

4) The quoting issue is actually fine; you have to click away from the highlighted text

Does anyone have any other good ideas? I am about to start off another batch of site updates/fixes, for David to do.

Apart from the “dark theme” option above, the current list is just some bug fixes.
