  • Okay, I'll ask again for the second time

    Last August, I asked for the return of the forum jumping function to the fora



    But, there was not any response from HQ.

    Now, that there have be some redesigning of the site without the addition of the function, I ask again for the reinstallaton fo the function as it would make the site more user friendly

    RSVP . . . . this time

        As I'm sure you can tell, Atavist, the forum software is a 3rd-party product. We have some limited control over the look and feel, but I have no idea whether what you're asking is even offered anymore. (There's only a couple of techies who handle the forum software anyway, which is probably why you haven't gotten a response... most of us staffers just don't have any expertise in the area.)

        Anyway, I'll post a note for the techies and hopefully one of them can post back in this thread with further info. Sorry for the delayed response.

          Thank you, Ray.

          The odd thing is that here was a forum jumping function in '05, but that it vanished last year, so it doesn't appear to be a limitation of the software, unless the function raised a scurity issue in the meantime (which seems a stretch).

            They changed/upgraded/switched (?) the software in Dec 2005. Not sure if that has anything to do with your question or not.

              To my recollection, this was a feature in the "old" forums that disappeared when the new one came.

                My understanding (and our tech guy can confirm) is that this is a feature in vBulletin that can be enabled or disabled. Could be that it was turned off, either purposely or by default, when we upgraded the forum software. I'm pretty sure the jump feature is still available.

                  So this means that the feature will/could/might be added when the system is upgraded again?

                  I know I plead from ignorance (as most times), but it seems so simple to do.

                    No, it means that, if I am correct, it's an option that was set to "off", but can be turned on at any time.
