Small tiny suggestion. by matty on 08-05-2005 at 05:37 AM

D double izzle Z, I know your lazy and all but could you add an option the UserCP to autoclose the confirmation dialog after reporting a post... like they are always successful and it would be nice that once its been sent it is just closed unless there is an actual error then I could understand leaving it out.

Pretty Pretty please...

I'm very reluctant to add yet another User CP option for such a tiny thing. There are already too many columns in the users table of the database, even more than vBulletin... :s

Maybe there could be a simpler way to do it without modifying the database and the User CP...

* WDZ thinks...

or have it autoclose no matter what unless there is an error?

Put the JavaScript code at the end of the script? If there's an error (exit?) it won't load the code, hence it will not close. :o

Well, that's certainly the easiest way to implement it, but I would like to keep the confirmation so nobody is like "wtf where did that window go?" :p

Of course, newbies never report posts anyway. :lol:

I know how to insert code, OK? :p And it's not an exit() in that case anyway.

:-/ maby  give the window 3 secs before it closes?
like
"report done....closing in 3...2....1...0*closed*"

then people will see it and know that it auto closed so they dont go "woh! where did that window go"

maby have it do that the first time and say that all times from now on this will auto close , then store it in a cookie  saying to auto close it insted of waiting 3 sec.
:P
RE: Small tiny suggestion. by Mike on 08-05-2005 at 08:09 AM

Maybe put a checkbox that says "AutoClose window" and the next time, it will autoclose the report window?
It will store the value on a cookie...
