Traffic is still up significantly, I'd imagine that's the issue.

My guess is things will normalize over the next week or so, but if not we'll have to make some upgrades.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Just saw an amazing feature on a "competitor" 's website where whenever you highlight a word in a thread a pop up comes up in the top right corner with the definition... (i.e. if a post has the word YQ in the middle and I highlight it, it pops up "fuel surcharge" in the top right corner of the window)... i thought it was pretty slick especially for newbies.

I use the "Show new replies to your posts" page as my default bookmark. There's plenty of posts that I've responded to that I have no interest in appearing on that list (ie the Credit Card FAQ thread gets posted in everyday - I don't need it to always show up). Is there a way to remove threads from the list?

Can't remember where it is, but I think someone once asked about how to mark specific threads as read as opposed to the "MARK ALL MESSAGES AS READ" button.

  • Change "Show quick-moderation as" to "checkboxes"

That will cause to remove even the ones he does have an interest in from the list..
He only wants to remove the irrelevant ones.
AFAIK there's no way to do that.
Maybe changing the username?  DOUBT it though...

No, what he suggested provides a checkbox next to each thread. You then simply check off the ones you don't want to see, and remove them from the list.

Is there any way to disable the minimization of the forum index page? It happens way to often that people think they have a problem

when sending a pm thru tap a talk you have to send to the persons original screen name. if they have switched their user name at some point you still have to send to send to the original one  (ex. if i wanted to pm name changed from my ipod i would have to make it out to deal-er , side incomer would be kolel yungerman) anyway to fix this?

Which minimize button? Can you post a screenshot with the button marked?

When your on the main/home page,  there is a plus (+) sign in the top right corner. 
(I'm on mobile so can't post screenshot)

thats it. Too often people accidentally minimize the forums and then panic thinking they've been locked out or something

I have the same thing. It takes a few minutes or clicks for it to go away.

On the recent topics and recent replies pages, where it says "started by xxx", the username of member who started each thread is not clickable for me, is it clickable for you? What caused this to break?
