[RESOLVED]
When I updated the Assassins game, I thought of something that would make it easier to referee the game. There is a Postings Popup mod, which turns the number of posts for each thread into a link that when clicked, shows who posted to the thread. Mickal has this one installed at the Shack and IMO it's a great addition. But the thought that I had today was, it should be possible to add a "last post" column to the popup window, and maybe even an option to sort by last post date.
Just an idea, and no rush, but I thought I'd submit it for consideration. :D

Where, at Mickal's, can I see it? I'm not sure I unserstand what it does, and when I went to Mickal's, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

It looks like this (Except it's a popup). The Replies column in the Forum view has a link that makes the popup.
I got this by going to the About forum and clicking on the replies link for The Shack is Back! thread. Pretty neat, actually.

Okay, I see it now.
Um, tell me why it's exciting because I don't get it.

As far as the mod itself, I guess I'm just used to it being there. It hadn't occurred to me that unless looking up a very active poster, I can just search their posts and find the most recent one in Assassins.

Okay, so as it is, it wouldn't really help for assassin, right? But with your suggested modifications it would be useful?
I'm not opposed to installing it, but if it really needs to be modified, I'd rather that be done to it first. Is that something you can do, or would you want me to look at it?

Okay, I've made the changes... my updated version is here. First I added the third column (relatively easy) then also added options to sort the output (more difficult - I actually had to rewrite the main query). It's been tested and as far as I can see it works, but probably still a good idea to take a close look at it to make sure I haven't overlooked anything obvious. :)

Installed, with modifications by both Umop (sorting) and myself (adopt board theme).

Go to the forum view, and for each post you'll see a number of replies... that's now a hyperlink, whereas it wasn't before.
Then click on it. :D
