I made a few more tweaks to the Latest Posts page and the forum.

For non-English folks those topics are now shown in a slightly different color. Also off-topic (opt-in) forums are shown in a slightly darker color.

For those browsing the site in anything other than English, the LP page will default to a search-time of either 1 week or 1 month (depending on the language). This will help keep the page from getting too empty.

I fixed the side scrolling issue that Ken pointed out.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim!

Good job on the squawkbox! I'm now one less click from displaying the latest posts from our forum

You might want to put a "td valign="top"" on the post content area in the forums. It's not visibile on IE but with Mozilla the posts are vertically aligned at the middle and a big space appears between the previous post and the row of the "Reply" and "Reply w/ quote" buttons. Not much of a bother though

Thanks!

John,
Thanks. I will take a look at that.

And I forgot to mention what you pointed out. Now all logged in users can see the un-cached version of the latest posts page.

I'll also keep a look around. I'm also using Mozilla. If ever bugs do happen here, I'll do inform you.

BTW, is this gap normal?

I also notice that with other user's post. I'm using Mozilla BTW

Jim,

You did a fantastic job, and the color difference is a nice touch.
This site is simply fantastic
