O.P. suggestion for Email Notification
It would be cool if the link to these forums in the e-mail notification could point to the last post ("&action=lastpost") or to the next message after the one I posted. Just a suggestion I'd love ;)

Hmm... well, I think it should go to the post it's notifying you about... that makes the most sense. :p

Riiight... :-/

Blah, I'm tired. :p

I'll add that to my to-do list and include it in the RC1 upgrade, which should be done after the holidays are over.

Great :)

One more thing, why these pages don't stay in IE's cache? Are you disabling caching for some reason? Don't do it ;)

no the next message after yours, but, as wdz said,

because you may have read some posts after yours and then someone replies and you have to be pointed to his post (the first new for you)

because this is PHP, and php pages aren't cached. if it'd be cached, you won't see new posts because you ie would show and old copy of the page.

edit: btw, i was going o suggest this too, so wdz.... :type:

:blah!: And what about, for example, Winamp forums? They're in PHP, stay in cache and work perfectly. I also made a website in PHP, no problems with caching too...

^o) well i mean that if a page is dynamicly created by php and your browser stores it in its cache, the next time you visit the page you'll see the cached copy so you won't be able to see the new contect of the page (new posts, etc..., whatever). That's why i say that a php page isn't stored at cache (maybe it is, so if you click the back button you can see the cached copy) but (and this must be true) when you visit again a php page, the browser should get the page from the server, not from cache.

note: the browser may copy in cache images, .js files, etc.. but not the main contect of the page

Yeah, you shouldn't cache PHP pages, especially on forums and stuff... doesn't really make sense. The images are a different story though, because they usually stay the same. Caching isn't intentionally disabled here, BTW.

It does make sense when you're on modem and can't be online for too long. Sometimes I like to read offline the pages I've been browsing, but can't do it with this forum...
