Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on Feb 28 2011 10:38 AM Looks great! Is there a "posts since last visit" feature in the new look? Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19286 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Feb 28 2011 11:11 AM There is, and I'm puzzled so many people are asking about it. It's in the same place as it was in the old site. However now it is in a pull-down menu with some other useful functions. On the main forum index page, it's on the upper right above the list of forums. It reads "Show topics with unread posts." Hope you find it and find it useful. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site? SG101 FAQ - Send me a private message - Email me "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Top
bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25561 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Feb 28 2011 12:22 PM on the old forum, I would go to the forum, and sub forums. Then there would be a orange flag next to the threads that had new posts since my last visit. If I clicked on the orange flag, it would take me to the first post of the new ones added to that thread. Now there is a word (new) next to the thread. I click on it, and it doesn't do anything. Then I saw the thing to the far right. but that seems to take me to the last post. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Feb 28, 2011 13:23:05 Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19286 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Feb 28 2011 01:13 PM A-ha. Thank you. I finally understand what everyone is talking about. I can't believe it, but in the 5 years we had that software, I never once clicked on one of those orange icons. I always used the link in the upper right. I can look into bringing that functionality back. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on Feb 28 2011 04:23 PM Actually, I did it your way, Brian. And I did look in the pulldown, but somehow it only clicks with me now. The brain, not the mouse. It always takes me a while to get comfortable with a new interface. The change of colors alone makes my mind reel ... It is is cute, though, and I will adapt.

Now there is a word (new) next to the thread. I click on it, and it doesn't do anything. I put in an experimental change such that the "new" icon will take you to the first unread post (when it is displayed in front of a topic/thread). And if you use the "Show topics with unread posts" pull-down, the links to the topics do the same thing now. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on Mar 07 2011 09:54 AM I think it was the change in wording as much as anything that puzzled me. I'd stopped thinking about what the words meant. Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19286 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Mar 07 2011 10:03 AM No problem. My current solution doesn't quite work, but I think I can fix it in the next few days. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19286 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Mar 07 2011 07:20 PM Alrighty, a better fix is in place now. Seems to be working better. Click on the "new" icon (when it is in front of a topic) to be taken to the first unread post in that topic. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

Fady Joined: Mar 07, 2010 Posts: 2255 North Carolina	Posted on Mar 09 2011 09:05 AM I never knew this feature was on the old site. I habitually hit the link to the last/most recent post in the thread. Then like a hamster on the wheel, I was automatic - hitting the page up keys to see if I had read the previous post(s). Never again! Love the feature - thanks for pointing it out, Jeff, and thanks for making it work in 2.o Brian! — Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation Top
bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25561 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Mar 09 2011 10:07 PM its weird, some threads it works, and sometimes not. :-/ — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19286 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Mar 10 2011 09:07 AM Really Jeff? Ok, I'll keep my eye open for problems and double check the code. I probably won't be able to make any tweaks or changes for a few days as I'll be out of town. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

windmill Joined: Mar 22, 2006 Posts: 269	Posted on Mar 12 2011 04:48 PM Hello Brian The feature the OP was after isn't exactly replicated on the "Topics with unread posts" On the old forum a list of the topics posted on since the last visit would come up ie "Posts since last visit" The new "TWUP" brings up every topic that you haven't read since the start of the forum. The old one was time based and would limit the threads to only those since your last visit. As a weekly visitor it was a convenient way of keeping up to date. Haven't actually worked out if it makes a difference yet — Freshwater Surfin' The Murray Basin Australia Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19286 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Mar 12 2011 05:52 PM Windmill, if I understand you correctly, it just sounds like you need to hit the "mark all forums read" button when you are done scanning topics to get the same behavior as the old forum. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?
