Forum spy launched...

***ColinD*** · 15-09-2006, 23:32

This is a new feature that I will be trialing for a period of days to see how it goes.

At the moment it is open to all for performance testing.

If it become too much, it will go; but it's too cool not to try it.

If you are presently testing the cobalt06 skin you will see the new ispy link near the top of the page under search.

If your not seeing this or not using cobalt06 then start testing the Cobalt06 skin. To do this, scroll to the foot of this or any page and where a drop down selector box says cobalt or fusion, change this to cobalt06 and all will change. *eventually*

Any comments etc, please feel free to post them here.

I can't see the link, where should I be looking?

EDIT: done it now, for some reason it didn't work until I selected cobolt 06 in another window as this was already showing as cobolt 06.

ric04vrs · 16-09-2006, 00:08

what will you/it be spying on ?

***ColinD*** · 16-09-2006, 00:14

the whole styles thing is a pain, but in order for me to get all this done I have to have a bridging style...if things don't work, just revert back...

tip: bookmark the spy, you only need the style to get the url, I don't want the search engines getting wind of it just yet.

EddyH · 16-09-2006, 00:17

It's pretty smart.

***ncarring*** · 16-09-2006, 00:19

Mine already says Cobalt06 - I didn't change anything myself, and I can see no difference? What should I be looking for?

Mine did that when I was in a thread but showed as cobolt on the new posts page which then allowed me to change to cobolt 06.

I was being thick, OK I admit it, but if you read Colin's original post, he didn't actually refer to the new "iSpy" link on the toolbar at the top, so if you didn't spot that, the page looks exactly the same as before minus the sidebar.

Colin kindly pointed it out to me. I will put my glasses back on now...

***ColinD*** · 16-09-2006, 00:36

Updated original post. Nn for now.

roo · 16-09-2006, 19:28

Just a small question, what's the reason for it?

test2 · 16-09-2006, 20:19

In part because, another is it's slighlty more effective than mashing the new posts button every 5 seconds.

postmanpat · 16-09-2006, 20:20

lurvvvvvvvvvvve this function

lfc958 · 16-09-2006, 20:34

Like the function having tried it.

rhisiart7 · 16-09-2006, 20:40

Useful function

Lady Elanore · 16-09-2006, 22:01

I am liking your Big Brother button very much

***ncarring*** · 16-09-2006, 22:04

It's very cool, but I'm torn on how it's more efficient than "New Posts"? You click the button, see a post that interests you, read that thread, then you're back to square one. You can click "New Posts" or "iSpy" - surely they do the same kind of query?
