Changes: Members, Search, News

[MarkG]

Several changes were made in the last couple of days in all sorts of parts of the site. Here they are:

- More info on flag stats page: total number of posts, average number of posts for each flag
- Ability to sort by flag and timezone in members search
- You can preview your flag choice in the options page as well as during registration
- New search box on forum and thread pages, replaces the 4(!) previous ones
- Ability to search our news archive and the directory from the new search box
- Search box in sections changed accordingly
- Drop-down news menu added in sections
- Changes in the News archive: better navigation, quick link to previous months(this was actually done a few weeks back, but we hadnt mention it yet)

I like the flag stats.

Yeah! 3rd highest average after Latvia and Bolivia

Efcharistó, Markos.

More nice little upgrades to Poly. I bet you can't update vBulletin with the official versions anymore, as the setup used on Poly is now so bugged with different mods.

Yeah the flags stat is indead a very nice feature , unfortunatly it needs a very long time to be loaded . So far Mozilla 1.1 and IE5.5 failed the first time after a reload both browsers were able to load the page. So far no luck with Netscape 4.78.

By the way what are the meaning of the red and the blue bars?

By the way you didn't mention that you also added the quick registration from to the log in page, now it doesn't look in Netscape 4.78, the same thing you have on the main forum page.

Well after some waiting while I was writing another post I got a Nestcape 4.78 popup and I tried to find out what the pop up caused, yeah finally the requested window opened with the flags. By the way a white background in the default style is not very helpfull in combination with the white color of the flags. Fortunatly I use CTP2 style, normally. Another question why isn't this thread topped.

Submit reply (return to forum) button is good too.
Never noticed that before.

The flag stats are great, but what martin says is true- the flag page takes about a minute or two to load on Internet Explorer... even on a DSL modem (I tested it at my place of work)

Once again- the stats are great you are putting me out of a job

[Gramphos]
