Thanks Matt!!!

“By posting a message to the Trail Talk message board, you agree to abide by the Terms of Participation.

I never saw that on any other threads?”

“Thanks for the pruning and the fixes.

BTW: I just noticed the terms of participation yesterday. I'm not sure how long they have been there, but they seem very reaonable and pretty tolerant. Not all change is for the worse!”

“I guess I can't go around threatening to kick someone's ass if they won't do drugs anymore.”

“I just wanted to say that I think Matt is like the bestest person ever, and I hope all my children grow up to be just like him!

:)

I luv this website, but you guys already know that. Matt?, you have brought me great fun and networking!”

“Matt you rock!”

“... and ROLL!”

“I like the ones that do, though.”

“Skully,,,

Now I maybe wrong, but the only thing I have noticed is that when I'm in "one day " date range mode, I'm nolonger seeing that some threads are in the hundreds like I use too in that same mode. Now is just shows what happening to a thread in a one day period.

I think that is it.

Since this new concept came into being, I've have always kept it in the one day mode, but still it would always start me out at the beginning of a long thread and not towards the more recent posts nearer to the end.

I don't know,,,,,, it works for me!!!”

“mine is always in one-day, that never changes. I noticed that in one of the threads that is multiple pages it starts you out on the last poster if you click on their name instead of at the beginning of the thread (for that range). It got my attention because I find it really annoying to have to page and scroll instead of going right to the one I clicked on. However, I've checked some of the others and they're the same as they have always been. Don't look at me to explain it, I don't do no HTML mon.”

“I just checked out the terms of getting your butt kicked off this site.”

“Also noticed before that you can sign in many different ways...”

“Matt-
I thank you.
If I can ever help you with anything-please feel free to contact me.”

“Now I am having trouble jumping beyond page 1 on some threads. I get an error message. I didn't have that problem on this thread but I did when I tried to see the most recent message on the Montanapaloosa thread (and another I can't remember right now).”

“I got that too. I went to the Montanapaloosa thread and viewed all posts. When I click next or page two I got:
"Warning: Offset 50 is invalid for MySQL result index 3 in /var/www/thebackpacker.com/htdocs/trailtalk/thread.php on line 33"”

“Dear Matt,

On behalf of most, if not all, Trail Talkers, I'd like to take this oppurtunity to personally say "Thank You" for all your hard work. Your site warms my cockles during this time of giving and, Lord knows, you have given a lot. A lot of your time and financial resources to give us folks a place we can call home. With that said, I'd like present you with a small gift of appreciation. I have made a donation to the National Human Fund on behalf of yourself and Trail Talk.

Thanks again for everything and I hope you and your family have wonderful holiday season.
”

“Festive Festivus everyone!”

“Hey! How'd my name get on there?! Too funny!”

“Time for the feats of strength!”

“And you are not fruity?! LMAO! Too funny. =D”

“mmm, warm cockles...my fave!

may many monkeys throw special happy festive Festivus poop in your direction, Matt.”

“All the best of the season and the new year, Matt and everyone else.

Doug”

“Thanks Matt. I see you finally found out what time it is.”

“well after Matt got smacked down yesterday, I just wanted to say I like the new feature. the one where you can click on the only gear or only trips threads. well done.

(if this is old to bad)”

“Are people really too stupid to uncheck the thread categories they don't want to read?”

“no stupid, but its nice to be able to just click on the gear thread and it all pops up at once. sorry i dont have time to spend on the internet like i used to!”

“Oh I get it now. It's a convenience thing. Sorry, I'm the stupid one.”

“ok your not stupid, your off the wall sometimes but not stupid”

“Thanks Matt.”

“It's the ,'don't throw me in the briar patch' thing.”

““Oh I get it now. It's a convenience thing. Sorry, I'm the stupid one.”
Mutt

The last one to know.”

“I see the "number of views" is up and running! Cool beans! Thanks!”

“Thanks , this'll be interesting.”

“What's the time frame for the number of views? I would assume 24 hours?”

“I don't think I've ever seen this thread before.”

“Now there will be people opening their threads repeatedly so they will look popular.....”

“Those are total views. It will not break down into 1 day, 3 days or whatever time setting you have TT set on.”

“That's great Matt. Thanks!”

“Thanks Matt, you rock.”

“Rockin!”

“Wow Matt, you've added a new level to the sport!”

““Now there will be people opening their threads repeatedly so they will look popular.....”

It doesn't work, I just tried. It only counted me opening the thread once.”

“Clear your cookies and I bet it will. LOL”

“Oh, so it only counts each person viewing it, not the number of times they view it (unless they clear their cookies)? Cool beans.”

“so if i post to a thread 20 times and no one else even looks at it the view count will be only 1? That doesn't sound right”

“Is this the game to see how high the counter goes before it zeros out?”

“You don't have to delete cookies to increase view#, just open another window.”

“I feel like I have introduced a whole new game to TT!!”

“100 views! Dammit, no way to prove it.”
