Couple of Requests

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Hi Blowfish,

 

The arrow button is now fixed. Please check and let me know if this is what you were looking for. Thanks

 

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 :)

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 :)

Hi Blowfish,

 

It is working fine here. Im not sure what you are looking for but the arrows do take u to the last unread post. Perhaps you have already read it previously?

Dunno what's going on perhaps its a cookie issue or something...I don't think so. I'll monitor the situation and see if I can work out what the deal is. It'll be easier to see when I have been away for a bit.

Many thanks to you and your web guy for incorperating the changes.

 

Cheers.

Excellent. Quick question.... regarding mark threads read, what exactly were you looking for?

 

As an example lets say you have been on vacation for a couple of weeks (or just not dropped by for a while) you end up with lots of threads that have lots of posts that are unread. Once you have gone through the ones that look interesting and read all you want to, it would be nice to tell the software OK I am up to date only flag messages arriving from now on as unread/new. Its not that big of a deal but new stuff (after your holiday lets say) gets tangled up with all the old stuff that you aren't interested in anyway.

 

basically its one button that marks everything as read. Gives you a clean slate regarding new messages if you like. Functionally it would tell the forum software that you have no new un-read messages any more.

 

It becomes more of an issue the less frequently you visit and the more volume of messages you have. For example elitetrader I visit seldom but it has masses of messages. I Maybe visit once a month and see if there are any interesting threads. I then mark everything read. I know next time I go back I am not going to be scanning all the old stuff.

 

Not that big of a deal but a nice feature. The sun is out and everything is good :D

 

Cheers,

Nick.

Hey Nick,

 

You can just log out and log back in. That should clear all the unread posts.

Ahh Ok thats good. However it would be neat to have a way to be able to clear the 'threads that have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts'.

 

If you cant read all the threads that interest you in one sitting you will still have to go through this section. Once you have caught up you want to get rid of all the 'junk' threads (no offence meant) other wise next time you get behind (and can't catch up in a single sitting) you will have to go through them again.

 

Hope I am being clear...and more to the point making sense. As I say no biggy.

 

Apart from that it bothers me aesthetically having all those threads there:cool:

 

Cheers,

Nick

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94.

Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce.
