Question Questions : notifications and attachments

Hello
First, thanks for the latest template, excellent ! I have some questions though :

- is there a way to get a warning when a new answer to a thread was posted while you're answering?

- How can I change the default size for the attachments not inserted (tiny thumbnail)?
- and deactivate the lightbox for the inserted images only - it just shows a replica of the existing one... Or is there a way to manage that as well ?

thanks in advance

Kunena 1.6.4 on J!1.6

That's a little difficult. As you know, the internet is "stateless" (that is, one web page really doesn't know about anything else) unless you pass information from one page to another, refresh the page or use some Ajax to update/refresh certain information on the screen in "real time". We've all been caught in this dilemma when, say, I'm replying to a topic and someone else is also replying to the topic at the same time. So, really, there's no easy way around the issue. That's just the way things are.

I think the thumnnail size is defined in the configuration settings. That's where I would look first.

The lightbox applet is defined in the file ../component/com_kunena/template/default/initialize.php: Comment out the lines that start with CKunenaTools. I haven't tried this myself; see what happens.

OK... It seems like a standard feature on a lot of forums though..

Thanks for the precisions, I'll try your suggestions.

OK, it is, but not the size at which it is displayed, which is in the CSS. I changed it, but that would be a good feature request, to be able to manage that from the backend (otherwise that option has very limited interest)
