I have no idea what I'm doing.
I actually thought the twitter idea might of been good. But it is a little annoying that it happens after you highlight every text.

The back arrow is a bit annoying because its floating over the text I want to read.

Can't we just have the small upp button that comes upp below it when you hover over the big one, that one is much better. And it should only come up when you hover on that area so it's not in the way for when I enjoy everyone's fantastic posts.

Literally it would be great had the big button not been there.

[edit]Oh it has always been there, shows what I know.

It's nice that you are adding new things. I appreciate it. Even the ones I won't use.

PS: Will the auto-refresh wok on the "User Control Panel" and "Bookmarks" pages?

Is there a way to add these features as optional things in the control panel or user options? I think that would be excellent. Let those who want it keep it on, let those who do not want it keep it off.

Okay I just got done adding some (hopefully) useful new features for yall:

1) There's now a "back to top" arrow on the bottom right, so you can easily go, well, back to the top.

2) If you select text, you will be given the option to Tweet it / that post to your Tweeterer account.

3) The forumdisplay pages will now automatically refresh every 15 seconds, so you can just leave the page open and it will refresh and let you know when anything has changed or there are new replies.

4) When typing in a post or reply, it will now autosave whatever you've typed, so if you accidentally close your browser or whatever, the poo poo you typed should still be there.


1) I blocked it , too big, I don't like visual elements that follow as I scroll. Like I have a scroll bar, a scroll wheel, page up, arrow keys, I don't really need another way to get to the top of a thread, it seems very unnecessary. 2. Is copy paste really too difficult? I bet there's extensions for that too. Eh whatever I guess 3. Sounds good didn't notice it. 4. Good.

:agreed: My computer isn't old, but my ISP sucks, and the refresh for me is dog slow. Making it optional would be greatly preferred.
