Forum Feedback
Firstly can I say that this is one of the best forums I have come across! Not only is it detailed to the extreme, but its fast loading, very helpful and its members show fantastic community spirit...
But I have two teeny, tiny criticisms...
1) If you click the About TWF link at the top right it takes you too a completely blank screen. I for one would love to know about the background of TWF, etc. Is it blank for a reason or is a technical problem?
2) Other forums I have been to give a sneak preview of the discussion when you hover the mouse over the topic title. I don't know how to achieve the effect with php but if I was using ColdFusion I would simply do :
<a href="foums/viewtopics.cfm?forumID=#ForumID#&TopicID=#TopicID#"
title="#TopicDescription#">
#TopicTitle#
</a>This would produce a pop-up box under the TopicTitle with a description of the post up to a limited length. An example of what I mean can be found at The CFM-Resources Forums
Two very small criticisms of a fantastic site!

Flipper, thanks for the comments. We have recently had a site redesign and some of the stuff is not up yet. Anyway we are glad to have you aboard as we seem to be lacking in ColdFusion people.

Well I'm no expert in ColdFusion (I've only been coding about 6 months) but if I can help I will, if I can't help I'll find out, and if I can't find out I'll....er...um...stamp my feet?

I beleive that Chad is writting up an About TWF page. He's a bussy guy, so give him time. It'll get up there sooner or later, so you'll just have to stick around. 8]
Yes, the effect can be achieved with PHP, but ... I'm too ..*thinks up excuse*.. busy to do that right now.

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.
