Viewing topic: New Posts

Is there any way to add a feature that allows us to quickly see when the last post was made in the forums, rather than having to open every topic and look? Perhaps just a colour by the title of the forum that lets us know that there is something unread there.

Oh just look at me! New, and already trying to change things!

Er....and ah... How about an EDIT button?

Ha ha, yeah we should kick you out for that

No, you're right.. there definitely needs to be an 'edit' button, and something to show new topics... well, there's a list of new topics on the front page of both www. and esl. visarus.co.uk - I'm afraid the forum was homemade over a year ago to fit the site, and hasn't had much attention since then!

Will have a bash at the edit feature this coming weekend, will need testers - you up for volunteering?

One or two notes - it won't let you edit if there's been a reply, or if the post was made more than, say, 20 minutes previously. Sound fair?

Unfortunately only Sky and Alex can testify to the amount of work I have on at the moment (and even they haven't seen the backlog of translations, all marked 'urgent', not to mention orders for new sites) which is why the forum, and the site as a whole, isn't getting the attention it ought to. I'll turn this post into a topic later, for the time being I only want to bring it to the attention of a select few folk and I don't want to knock other people's topics off the top spot. The plan is this - since I haven't been teaching for about six months or more, and don't plan to go back to it in the foreseeable future, I'm looking at handing VisaRus over to some new blood. To keep it going at full steam it needs a team of several people working on it. I've been offered large sums of money to sell the domain and the site, but it would be irresponsible now to let it out of my hands. There are a lot of opportunities for enthusiastic individuals to make some money from VisaRus (but I don't have the time), all in different areas of the site - from advertising and membership through to providing services to teachers (visa invitations, consultation, job searches, etc.) Some things would only be suitable for people physically based in Russia, some things could be run from anywhere in the world. All I'm really interested in is that in the course of any 'commercial' activity, the site must remain an authoritative source of unbiased information on teaching in Russia. Anyone interested in getting involved, PM me.
