Folding Forum

You might wait a long time before it changes, no one has answered to my request for a link to fah-addict above more than a year ago ...

When did FAH Addict start doing stats like EOC?

I'd put it in Other category ... I don't understand why you're talking about stats here ...

Nevermind

Because stats pages seem to be the only type of 3rd party page that gets added to the toolbar, that's why.

On the next forum upgrade I'll go through this list and see what I can do.

There is no cost to the forum owner.

This would be really good to have, I use tapatalk a lot with other forums and it makes using them on my iPhone a much more practical alternative.

Has switching to vBulletin for this forum been considered? It would enable more features and be more secure than phpBB, and could be transitioned seamlessly, so I think it should be looked at.

Here's an old but still accurate thread contrasting the two: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=14058

Why would we want to switch a to a paid software where a free one had been doing its job for years ?

I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm just used to being attentive to code quality and security, of which vBulletin has a strong advantage in both, but phpBB seems to be doing the job as you say.

I was just wondering if it was possible to configure an RSS or Atom feed for either the whole forum or specific boards? I know that registered users can configure notifications, but those are via email, and a feed does seem more natural for a thread format. I searched real quick on phpBB's website, and they said that recent phpBB versions have a built-in Atom feed option, and apparently a RSS modification exists. I was just wondering if I'm missing a button somewhere and feeds are already available, or if they've been disabled for a reason.

The forum link points to the old blog, can someone point it to the new blog?

yes http://folding.stanford.edu/home/blog is the new blog, but if you click Blog up in the heading of the forum, that is not where you go. You still go to http://folding.typepad.com/ which is 'wrong' on some level.

I am hoping that gets on someone's "to do" list. [Edit: I am told it is a known "to do" item.]

Don't worry JimboPalmer, I went the extra mile and emailed the site Admins as a reminder.
