Blog Post
I had to experiment with the Threaded and Linear views to see which one would put new posts where they really belong and not stuck somewhere in the middle of pages of replies. Linear takes care of this!!!!
Now a fix for read versus unread really needs to be addressed, how can a forum software creator miss this?????
haha, I sis the same thing as soon as I logged in after the update. I am on linear now with newest first so I can scan new posts fast.
That is what I am doing right now too. Select thread with newest first and then scanning for the new posts. Otherwise, you have to go through pages (sometimes many) to find the newest. Most forums you can select an option to automatically go to the newest post, even if it is at the end of the thread many pages in.
that sometimes can be a pain though as you don't see the original post first on a lot of them. some you do have to hit a button to go to the first new post and that's ok, but I find seeing the original post helps remind people what the topic is and keeps the thread on track. I know I have been on some of thoes 5 to 10 pagers and thought to myself.. what was the point of this thread again.. haha
Point taken. This is the only forum that I do backwards due to not being able to find unread/new posts.
