Unread Posts
There's a "New Posts" tab (NP) that I almost always go to when I arrive at GL.net.
I was wondering if an "Unread Posts" tab could also be installed. There are three times when NP frustrates me. (1) If I make a reply to a post, hitting the NP doesn't update; instead it acts totally anew and the only thread listed is the post I just responded to. I have to "Back" up three or so times to get back to where I was. (2) If I spend any time at a post or reply (five minutes, I'm guessing), I get timed out. Logging back on is a tiny nuisance but not having access to the threads I hadn't gotten to is more annoying. (3) When I login from work, I sometimes don't know how much time I have. Sometimes I'm in a wait mode for a couple minutes; sometimes for an hour or so. If it's short, I won't have the chance to see all of the threads even knowing the first two listed above. I'm not a programmer in this sort of sense, so it might be troublesome to implement. If an alternative "Unread Posts" tab could be added, that would be great. |
Hi
I have the same problem, so I try only come when I know I have time to respond and look at the new posts, what find works is opening each post in a new window, this gives me plenty of time to even come back later to unread posts. Steve |

At home, that is what I do. However, after four total hours of daily commuting sandwiched around staring at computer most of the day at work, I can barely achieve enough enthusiasm to check my personal emails. Quote:
(An "Unread Posts" tab would still be nice, though.) |
Under the "Quick Links" pull down there is a 'Today's Posts' option, that's what I use.
Seems to list all of the posts of the day...either that, or I'm missing out on a bunch too! -Dave |

I would like to see an option for viewing all posts within a certain timeframe (ie. all posts from this week, or this month, etc) so if you are away for a while you can catch up by viewing what was posted while you were gone, without having to specify a search term or keyword.

That would be a good feature, Aussie Veeduubers has it. On another site that I use I go to each forum category, open it in a new window and then open each post in a new window back to the date I'm interested in, a bit of work but it ensures you don't miss a thing when you've been away. Steve |
it seems no one ever comments on my build thread that i do keep updated. lol. not that its a big deal, i guess my build thread isnt exciting.

Hi
Why does this thread attract spammers? I hardly ever read it now, oh except today. Steve |
Not sure. But I get tired of deleting their $#!^.
|
I think its because every forum software out there has a feedback sub forum so a spambot might look for this specifically. I also delete and ban as fast as I can :(

I can delete, but I can not Ban.

Are you sure Dave ? You are an Admin so you should be able to. Check your PMs

For a few days now the " show unread posts since last visit " link has come up empty.
There seems to as much activity as usual though? |
