Suggestion to help us identify if a post has new replies
This suggestion is based off a thread from Boon_Docker (What A Joke This Forum Has Become) regarding the dates on posts. I can see that the dates seem to wander when viewing the posts because the date shows as when the post was created not when it was last replied to. I wonder if a simple solution would be to add a last replied to date on the main page. I made a crude picture to show what I'm thinking of with the date and possible places that it can be added and screen shot it below. This way you can retain the date the original was created and add in a way to determine if there is something new and how new it is. This is something I always wanted on the old RV.net.315Views1like1CommentCan the date format be changed to alpha characters for the month
Can I suggest changing the posting date format of posts to use three letters for the month. While I believe the membership of this site is predominately US, we still have many members who not. In the US we list dates as MM/DD/YY But in many other parts of the world they list dates a DD/MM/YY So when I read a message and see it was posted on 07/11/2023 Was that post made on July 11? Or if I'm not in the US, was it posted on the November 7? If it's simple change I would suggest a date format that uses alpha for the month like Jul 11 2023.. That way there is no mistake whether I'm in United States or in Great Britain? This might be a moot point if this is already handled by the local browsers. But figured I'd bring it up.Solved636Views1like4CommentsWebsite layout suggestion
I have no experience with website design so this might not make sense. But for a future update is it possible to add in the ability to lock the title or top of the screen? I'll try to explain using Excel as an example. In Excel I can lock the top row of as spreadsheet so when I scroll down the page my column headings do not scroll off and are always visible at the top of the sheet. In this website I would make a small adjustment and move the search window up to the white area at the top next to Good Sam or to the right of Community Feedback. Then add a user profile setting that allows me to decide if I want to lock the top two rows or not. Then with the top locked, as I scroll down reading posts I can quickly pick a different group or area without having to scroll to the top first. Below is an example of what I think would help at least for PC users if it could be locked and always stay at the top of the page.. I'm not sure about portable devices as I don't browse the web much on mineSolved469Views0likes2Comments
