Change order of Forum title? (put "Arch Linux Forums" at the end)

kljohann · 2009-02-20 13:16:26

I don't know If this was suggested earlier (although I did a quick search), but when I have several tabs of this forum opened all i see is "(Arch Favicon) Arch..." "(Arch Favicon) Arch...".

I think it would be kind of useful to put it this way instead of "Arch Linux Forums / XYZ":
XYZ - Arch Linux Forums

Why do you think this?

carlocci · 2009-02-20 14:07:14

I just browse the forums recursively, so I like the current way because I can read "Ar..." and I know exactly where the Arch forums block of tabs ends.
And, if you're looking for a particular thread, you usually open only that, so it would be hard to miss it; if you are casually browsing the forums, you just do it recursively.
And, if we put Arch Linux on the right it would MOVE ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF THE THREAD TITLE!!! Which is overwhelmingly unaesthetic!

I think that this is a good idea. You can still tell which tabs are from arch using the favicon, and I know I don't browse the forums "recursively" -- I go through the "Show new posts" option, and open anything I'm interested in a new tab. As it is, I can't tell which thread is which, especially when I have +10 threads open.

Sounds like a good idea to me. File a bug report.

But beware, nobody's really maintaining the forum right now, so it might take a while before we get to it.

For now, it could be "fixed" for all those that like this behaviour by a greasemonkey userscript:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Remove ArchLinux Forum Title
// @include        http://bbs.archlinux.org/*
// ==/UserScript==

document.title = document.title.replace(new RegExp('^Arch Linux Forums /','i'),'');

Ubuntuforums has 'XYZ - Ubuntu Forums' and 'XYZ - Page N - Ubuntu Forums'

I too think this is a good idea

Someone remember to file that bug report...

@kljohann: Thanks, that is great. There is a space missing after the '/' though, I think.

I browse somewhat recursively .... I check whats new on the index and open them all at once, then I check whats new on the last open tab, after that is done I move on to the next tab

Doesn't the Arch logo favicon give that away?

It currently already moves according the the length of the thread title... Except at the moment it moves left instead of right

Arch Linux
