Couple of Requests

The little arrow when you look at unread threads takes you to the last post in the thread. It used to take you to the last unread post which was much better imho.

I mentioned this before but would like to re-iterate it as a feature request. A 'catch up' or 'mark all threads read' button. This one would be really really useful.

Cheers.

Re: Couple of Requests

That arrow feature is something that none of my coders created... its a free feature that was written up on the open source area for our forum system. Copyright is also protected and would not know how to change this. I can try asking a few other coders but please dont count on this. Also, with the mark all threads button, I dont recall every having this feature. Im not even sure if its possible. Have you seen it on other boards?

Re: Couple of Requests

Yeah ET has mark all threads read I think. Some forums have it in the form of a 'catch up' button. Same deal different name.

In the old forum software the little graph icon took you to the last unread post in a thread that was a much better bet than the last post in the thread. As it is now you have to page back to find where you got up to (if indeed you can remember for sure!) Before you just clicked the icon and read from there.

Cheers.

Re: Couple of Requests

Blowfish, I will look into this. Just to clarify, you are refering to the arrow at the threads per forum? Or are u referring to the latest threads box at the bottom of the site?

Sorry let me be clear I click on 'unread posts' in the top right under my user name. That gives me a list of threads with new messages.

In the old software you clicked on the little graph icon and that took you to that last unread post. Now there is a little arrow icon which takes you to the last post. Thats pretty inconvenient in comparison.

Maybe theres another way to get to unread posts with this software that I am unaware of?

Ahhh okay. I think that can be resolved. Let me get my coder to fix that up. He should have it done in a few hours I hope.

Re: Couple of Requests

Fantastic!

I had missed the new feature - recent threads (at the bottom of the page). It is still convenient to just click under your name and get threads with unread messages.

Will do ....that means I'll have to stay away for a while to let a couple of messages build up!! Been quite captivated by some of the discussions recently

Re: Couple of Requests

Still not sure on this...it still appears to be going to last post rather than last unread one. This could be because because I am visiting too often!!!

Perhaps you could post half a dozen half (more than a screenful I guess) messages here then I can see for sure.

Thanks for all the attention - I think its good for the board
