I don't have the official name, if there is one up just look up "Sort column ascending/descending".

If you use pagination, here's a tutorial, Pagination.

Trust me, I understand what you're saying and I agree with you guys. The fact remains that a lot of solved topics still remain in the forums. Not because people don't understand what TOPIC SOLVED means, but because they can't find it. For example Example 1 and Example 2. So people that are reading solved topics could be helping someone that actually needs help. It was just a suggestion I thought I'd bring to you guys.

Interesting idea, I like it. Well I guess a lot of communities do this I just never notice.

I know they all say it, I'm saying they all think it wasn't there for them. In reality they just can't find it.

Haha yeah, only for you.

Just a suggestion when I went to go chat it kept saying I had to set my profile. I wasn't sure what that was because the fields were already populated. I finally went in and just hit update with the default fields and I didn't get that message.

A new site, I don't understand what that means. Please read this for the pop up tutorial: Javascript Pop up

It's at the bottom left it says, "TOPIC SOLVED".

Yes, a little icon next to the button that says TOPIC SOLVED, but my main point was that it should be towards the top in a more visible position.

Just create a javascript function that makes 3 pop ups and call it onload.

Maybe this has been mentioned before but I couldn't find a recent thread for this. The TOPIC SOLVED button should be bigger. There are many topics that should be labeled SOLVED that aren't. So people trying to help, are wasting their time and reading already solved topics. My suggestion would be to have it at the top in a visible spot, instead of hiding at the bottom of the page. Also maybe a little icon and something that explains what to do since people can't figure it out.

Ah, ok, of course you would!

If you actually get output then there's something wrong with your logic. Let's see the calc function.

Mod it so you can... It was just an idea hoping to spark something interesting.

Do you have errors turned on? If not please put this at the top of your main script: ini_set ("display_errors", "1"); error_reporting(E_ALL); Have you tried echoing the values to make sure they are correct?

this probably isn't the case but, case sensitivity maybe?

I understand what you're saying but it just seems like most other forums have a ranking/group system. For example, Sun's site (www.sun.com), has the duke star system where people are awarded duke-stars when they solve someone's question. Also, each member starts out with a limited amount and can show the importance of a topic by giving it more duke stars. I was just trying to spit an idea out and see if someone could elaborate on it. I see your point of how it would be a waste of time for admin, which I mentioned in my OP.

nah, ive seen the discussion about post ranks and that's not what I'm talking about. I meant free groups like how u have authors and php recommended. For example windows vs Linux users. I haven't put much thought into this I just thought it would be cool to have more free groups.

good luck bro

u need to follow the w3 standards so ur page gets rendered correctly on each browser. Sometimes u need to use the IFIE function to accomodate

I think he meant create a new column with the date type use the code to populate it, delete ur old column and rename the new one.

The only way to learn is to do it yourself. Everyone here is willing to help. So try it post your code and we'll get this done.

Sorry, I don't even understand what you're saying here. But I can guess. One of your text fields is for the user name: After you submit that to the same page you can use: $_POST['myusername']; to get what the user filled in for the user name. Then you need to use Javascript to check this information. OR You can use AJAX which looks better because the page does not refresh and you still get the same result. Make sense?
