View New Posts

[kayo]

Hi guys and gals,

Until about a year ago, I used to spend days trawling the forum, clicking "view new posts" every couple of minutes or so.

Of course I was a bit more forum dependant than I am now.

Every now and then I'd sleep, or work, and upon returning 8 or 10 hours later, I'd click "View New Posts" and there might be a manageable 6-8 pages on average.

This past 10 months or so I've been pretty busy with a variety of things but,...

Nowadays, however, as I have a week holiday I find myself spending more time here.

Only prob is, after a night away from the forum, I now come back and there are 58-70 pages of new posts!!!

Is there anyway to (individually) filter out sub-forums that are of no interest to me?

(ie: can we do this ourselves, according to our own preferences?)

This happened several weeks ago and was brought up in forum support as to what has changed. It was in conjunction with "Read" post markers continuing to show even though the topic was read and a bug fix was implemented. Don't know if it is a bug or a feature now. But same here, used to only show Todays new posts and bleeding over a little into Yesterday so I always only had a few pages to deal with. I'm at 270 pages of new posts now.

You can click on "Mark all forums read" at the top of the window and it will reset the counter.

You could always mark all forums as read and then it resets to zero

**edit**dratted slow dial up--Tywais beat me to it

I suppose that's a form of fix.

I tried marking just certain forums "read" on the main index page, and they still show up though.

Oh well.

Nice post K.O.

Went on there for me first time in over four years on ThaiVisaDotCom and it really opened up the whole forum to me.

Only got 375 pages though to read, never mind all the post in them.

Yours truly,

Kan Win

I never use the 'New Post feature' myself - I navigate from the forum main page, clicking only on the forums I am interested in, and then checking new posts in individual topics on the sub-forum main page.

Never really liked 'See new posts' because there are so many forums I don't have an interest in.
