The old format had a link you could click that would show all the threads that have new posts you have not visited -- is that still around by chance? If so, where? If not, can it come back?

Do you mean the one that is right under "My account" on the right hand side of the page when you 1st log-in?

 

You can get to it by clicking on "unread posts"

It used to be on every page pretty much. There is still space for it personally I'd like it back it was pretty convenient. It now means extra clicks to go to the home page then click the link. Really that's a no no (especially on mobile devices)

 

Please restore it!!

Well I guess as Tams suggested it is a shameless attempt to drive up homepage hits? It should not be on the homepage it should be where you read threads. What are you guys thinking?

[erierambler 10]

Well, for me, it should be on the forums page, which is where i read the threads. Meaning where the info- unread posts- and mark forums read- should be together on all the forums pages.......

You guys give me way too much credit for my master plan with this Trust me, there is none - I only wish I was that smart.

 

Will talk to the site developer and see what can be done. Thanks for the feedback.

MMS,

 

If your developer uses a version control system, that code in the prior release had the perfect placement, imo.

[MadMarketScientist 11]

We talked it through and we're going to ask the developer to try and move the "Mark as Read" that is at the bottom of each page to the top/top right so it's more convenient.

 

The "Unread Posts" that is an option off the homepage we're going to try and see if they can at least put it in the main forums page so it would be more readily accessible there.

 

Request is in so hopefully won't take too long. Thanks.

Indeed it did. Though to make it better than perfect a link at the top right of the page (where it was) and at the bottom right would cater to every eventuality

So far I like the change, thanks..............

[MadMarketScientist 11]

Thanks - appreciate the kind words. Always a work in progress but going the right direction.

I have reported this before... and I want to bring to your attention again,

 

-- new posts to the sub-forums are not listed on the front page.

 

HOW DO YOU EXPECT to grow this website if people are not aware of new and interesting discussions that are happening ?

how do you expect people to participate and create more traffic if they don't know there is a party going on ???

 

Can you see all the threads with zero, or maybe a couple of meager replies?

maybe you can see why there are so little responds; people do not go through all the sub-forums to look for new threads.

 

eg. this new thread was not list on the front page
