Thumbs up Cellar's user interface -Bugs -Info -Suggestions

Needs expanded FAQ section. I have to figure things out by trial and error.


Search function: I search things like 'upclose photos' I and still not find that thread.

BUT overall the user interface is wonderful with so many user friendly functions.

I didn't know there was such a thing as "up close photos" here, Are you thinking of "image of the day"?

Click "search", then "advanced search". Type "close ups" into window and choose "search titles only".

I'd really like a "mark thread as read" button.

The average Cellar thread gets pretty long.. often into double figures for the page count. On one of the other forums I use, clicking on a thread 'jumps' you straight into the thread at your last viewed poilnt, rather than at the top of the thread.....

Would it be possible to implement that here?

The "New Posts" search does that, and gives an icon you can use to hit the posts you haven't seen.

The reason that doesn't happen at thread-view level is because it requires a database lookup on each thread - and reducing the number of lookups on a single page is one way to improve performance.

Sure, every time I come to the Cellar, there is a checkmark next to any thread title that has had any activity since I left. Click that checkmark and it takes me to the first post in that thread I haven't seen. Always.

Well that's very weird because I don't have that. I must have turned it off somewhere for me.
