[edit] Threads

I've decided to start using synchronised threads as well. I've created a neat FAQ/help page at User:Ingoolemo/Thread help, if you're interested. (On that page, I cited you as the inventor of the synchronised thread. Feel free to correct it if I was wrong.)

By the way, I synchronised this comment, even though it really wasn't necessary to. Just thought it would be a good way to kick of the process. As always, click on the [edit] link to reply. Cheers, Ingoolemo ^talk 02:58, 2005 Jun 27 (UTC)

I now have a nice little tool to make thread generation on user's talk pages easier - see User:Alphax/monobook.js for how I do it (look for startThread()). I didn't invent the idea - VfD has used them forever - but I may have been the first to use them on talk pages like this. I might strip the code down to something more compact, but I'll need to find out whether there is a "base" set of JS functions that are used. I believe that most of the javascripts which do this sort of thing are derived from Lupo's (I know mine is - actually, I got it from ABCD, but oh well), so it would be interesting to see if there is some kind of plugin system that has been developed.

Oh, and since replying to a thread doesn't neccesarily purge the cache, or leave a notification, I'll try a null edit on your talk page. I hope no-one else does in the meantime :) Alphax ^τεχ

That's a neat method. Thanks for mentioning it. Ingoolemo ^talk 2005 June 28 08:07 (UTC)
