Small suggestion for the posting system in the forums

So usually Lakesurface is the resident suggesterer but I noticed something and it's been bothering me a little bit. It's not really a bug but you know how certain forums have this feature where if you click reply after reading through some previous posts and there may have been someone who posted while you were reading (at MU you would see this if you scroll down but most times you wouldn't notice it and sometimes it can cause you to ask a question that was answered or something) so you get a little warning in red that the thread was updated since you last view it or something to that effect. You know, somewhere you can't miss it. Am I just a tard cause you have this featue already? Or don't you? if not would it be possible to fix sometime in the near future manick? I am not in a hurry and it only affected me like once so it's not that big a deal. 😛

but i think you talk about the same thing i did here:
[url]http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=906[/url]
or maybe not..
what if the positions of the "last posts" and "adding reply" box was switched...?

edit: how do those url-thingies work..?
It's not the same. I agree with luis that it would be convenient.

Yeah what you're talking a bout lakesurface is the forums overview page. I'm talking about the page where you type a reply. Above the Title of the thread there should be a warning of new posts since you last updated(while you were reading). Anyways i'm sure manick will reply when he wakes up. It's around 7:30 on the east coast now I think. I woke up at 5:30 today. Hmmm it's good to be an early bird sometimes. 😛

what do you mean ? i utterly confuzzed now..
hmm i mean when you go to post a reply... there is a reply box and below it are the last posts before you're reply
so if you switched their positions, you'd be more likely to see the last replies so you don't say the same as the person before you (or something like that)

The case that it will happen are not so high ....
And unless the display of the last post are not "in live", it's useless, since maybe one person has post while you're writing tour post.
And it will bother the person who doesn't like to scroll the page each time to write a reply ...
This is a Signature .... I haven't put in some huge images! Are you happy now ?
