Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 19, 200618 yr I noticed that the My Friends thing is a pop-up window. Why isn't a My Assistant-Like Interface (AJAX Window) being used instead?
September 19, 200618 yr I agree. I don't like it as the popup window. It should have been a tab in my assistant itself, and when you click the link in the member bar, it brings it up, already on the proper tab.
September 19, 200618 yr Either that, or integrated in with the 'Friends' tab on the profile. It confuses me that it is isn't in there. :sEdit: Afterall, you manage comments under the "Comments" tab of your profile. Why not handle friends in the same way?
September 19, 200618 yr Do agree :)It shouldn't constitute a whole other popup... a section in my assistant would do fine.

September 20, 200618 yr Just found a bug on the Friend Added Notification email, it shows "Peter" as Pⅇter :huh:

September 20, 200618 yr Management The reason it's a pop-up window is so you can leave it open while you browse the board and it'll auto-refresh every minute or so to update the list (especially handy if you've set it to show only those online).Making it a DHTML window will lose that functionality.Edit: Afterall, you manage comments under the "Comments" tab of your profile. Why not handle friends in the same way?Friends pending approval appear in the Friends tab with a different background color.
September 20, 200618 yr Nice, can we change the update time / turn it off. If we so please.Also, who wants to be my friend :PEdit: Well it seems i can be my friend
September 20, 200618 yr Management I do :PAlso, the friends list is opened by clicking on "Add Friend" and "Remove Friend" which wouldn't really be as possible with a DHTML floating layer.

September 25, 200618 yr Some people block pop-ups. I had that issue back in 2.0 days when many of my users reported to me that My Assistant wasn't working because they had pop-up blockers that block it. I most welcomed the new DHTML version as it gets around such pop-up blocker settings. Personally the friends list is a "myspace feature" and really useless for me on my board, I hope there is a way to just disable the whole thing. If not it will just be one more reason against me wanting to upgrade my main site to 2.2 when that time comes.
