No, really, if you hit the "Stop" button on your  browser as soon as the "Latest Topic Replies" window appears, the window will be  at the maximum size - showing all entries - and all the links work.

Of course, nothing moves, there is no "scrolling",  but that's OK because everything is there.

Give it a try, Tiz

I tried, I failed. It loaded too quickly for me.

or a dynamically updated non scrollable list which can display more.

Give it a try, I'm sure it would be "more user friendly"

Here is a way to view recent topic in the old fashioned way:

You find the link at the top of all forum pages: "View New Posts"

That's the way that I do it now George. I just thought that it would be nice if the portal displayed them in a UFW (user friendly way)

I think you must be using Internet Explorer because I can't get it to work with IE either. I'm using Firefox and can get the whole 40 topics listed. It's probably one of the few advantages of having a slow dial-up link

I have only just got around to checking out the forum portal page, and it seems like a great idea. I used to keep alternating between the "view new posts" screen and "mark all forums as read" but this should save a lot of unnecessary clicking...!!

Unfortunately whilst the "latest topic replies" window is quite happily scrolling away on my PC, it doesn't appear to actually update!

I watched the same replies go past for quite a while on the forum portal, and then opened a separate "view new posts" window, only to find that half of the topics had in fact received a more recent response over 15 minutes beforehand. Is there a delay in updating the scrolling forum portal view, or is it likely to be a setting on my PC (IE6 on XP)...?

So this is what I can see on the right side of the Portal page using Firefox, and by hitting the STOP button as soon as the "Latest Topic Replies" window appears:

Good, innit?

Correct, I have uninstalled FF as I didn't like it.

Good, innit?

That might be a reason to re-instal it though.
