Xtra lite - a low-graphics version of the forum

Toytown Germany -> Xtra features -> Xtra lite

"Xtra lite" is a low-graphics version of the forum. It's mostly used for inconspicuous reading of the forum while at work.

As posted to another very long discussion earlier today:




Now you can avoid topics that have been flogged to death.

All topics with more than 15 pages of posts (i.e. 300 posts in total) are now filtered out.

Topics from the special forum, however, are always included no matter how long.

Thanks very much EB! Awesome for us 'liters' and improves my TT experience dramatically.

I love xtra lite -- in addition to being inconspicuous, it's a handy way to quickly get a look at what's being said on the forum at a single glance without a lot of clicking around. If xtra lite did not exist, I'd spend a lot less time on TT (which, now that I think about it, would probably be a good thing).

I have no idea if it is technically possible, but I would really love it if there were more ways to apply filters to xtra lite, the same way you can do on the full version of the forum.

Wow...a smoking topic free environment

Thanks Bob - I have to admit - I still invariably use Lite - even though I work from home and the only person likely to look over my shoulder is me. Most people think I'm nuts for using it, but it works for me. But I agree with GG, I can skim the page in just a couple of minutes to see whether there is anything worth paying attention to or not.

A tetchy little complaint about xtra lite.

When a post contains a quote, anything that was posted before the quote does not appear in the xtra lite version of the post.

Don't follow? For example, First ever pregnant (transgender) man by Hutcho appears in extra lite only as


(without the quote box of course). So not only does the quoted text not appear, but Hutcho's previous sentence doesn't show up either. Obviously this makes it really difficult to follow a discussion when big heaps of the posts don't show up.

That bug has now been fixed. Thanks.

Cool! I see there's a filtering thingie that's been added too. Thank you, Bob.
