forum_emoticons.html	[quote=wrenchhead,2165]I understand what Alexander is talking about as I also find it a little difficult to track answers to posts and often they are not even my posts but someone else's that I happen to be interested in. However, I can think of no reasonable way to notify a user that his comment has been answered, that additional comments follow his latest post or that additional posts have been make on a particular page. A link to 'notify the commenter' (similar to the quote button) may be useful but I also worry about abuse. I use a simple WORD document to track pages I want to visit again. I copy the page address and paste them into the document. That gives me quick access to those pages I am most interested in. I delete them when I am done with that page to keep it current. Its cumbersome and takes time but it works. What worries me more is that once a vehicle has been identified (correctly or incorrectly) visits to that page and/or additional comments may be overlooked. This is particularly true on a busy day when a comment may be on the 2nd or 3rd page of the most recent comments and may be easily overlooked. [/quote]

IE 6.0

antp

With which browser?
Anyway, that's a normal side-effect. As I said it was a "not clean" way to do it (but temporary!). I think that you more often do a one-result search than a "back after search", no?

When I click the back-button to a search page with one search-result, It goes directly back to this page. Only when I click very quick I can get back.

in Firefox this works fine, it seems to not could the redirection page.

In movie search, when only one title is found you are redirected directly to that movie (using Javascript - I'll make that cleaner later).

Now my back button doesn't work fine anymore... :cry:

I added a [thumb]nn[/thumb] tag (where nn is a number) allowing to make a imageshack-like thumbnail link for internal images.
Example:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=56600#Comment233016
as the Explorer in episode 3.14 was the same picture as the Escape listed for the series, it was not useful to upload it on imageshack as it was already hosted on imcdb.

This is nice..!

Also added something that was missing since long time: movie title (and eventually vehicle name) in page title, for the following reasons:
- not always the same "imcdb: movie vehicles" or "imcdb: details for vehicle" in the browser title bar.
- a more explicit title when searching a particular page in browser history
- better placement in Google and other search engines
But such change may lead to some new bugs :whistle:

- account creation now requires a valid e-mail address, as a link to activate the account will be sent there.

- limited links length to 50 characters after domain name. If the link is longer the displayed text is like "link to domainname". I also changed the style of links to local pages, to not show the "http://imcdb.org" in front of the link text.
It took me more than one hour to get this thing working, but I am sure that there will be bugs, so do not hesitate to report them
