Start on New Posts

Greetings,

Is there a way to setup a link so that I start on a page with just the new links since my last visit?

When I try to use the CP to do that I get a search ID page and when I use that, it is invalid at my next visit.


Thanks

You can also subscribe to the threads you are interested in. Once you log back in, you'll then find the threads are highlighted in your control panel when there are new posts.

Re: Start on New Posts

Thanks for your replies.

However, I'm lazy.

I would like to put a link on my desktop that would bring up TL and it would already be on those pages. When I click the links you referred to they simply create a link that is a search string with a number assigned.

Once that number expires, the link no longer works.

There has to be a static URL that links to this stuff???

Thanks

it would be alright if you have this link at the top of the page, with default to 50 threads
Traders Laboratory - Latest Forum Activity

people can look at the topics at a glance... and choose whatever that catches their eyes.


about this page:
http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/

the design is clean, and the categories are nicely structured,
but difficult to find threads because they are buried in another layer.

also, when people do not see what catches the eyes, they tend to move away instead of dig deeper.

Ive set the default to 50. Still working on rewriting the url and will look to implement this in a more convenient area. Thanks for the suggestions Tams.
