View new posts option

[jzawacki]

Do you guys have the ability to enable a "View new posts" link when you log into the forums, or am I missing it? I haven't work with this forum solution before, so I might just be overlooking it.

Hi Jzawacki,

Good to have you onboard! From what I can see there are a few ways to see new posts.....

1) The Icon on the left of the thread "lights up" when there are new posts for you to view, when there aren't any it goes gray (it starts from the day you register). As you read a new post it will "mark it as read"; and then the icon goes gray. (There might be a way to 'keep it as unread'.....

2) On the Quick Links menu control on the top Nav Bar, you can select Today's Posts.

I'll follow up on this in the future with any other observations I have....

All the best,

John

Also on the Search page there is a way to search for all posts since the last time you logged in (and you can even choose what forum you want to search in)

Here a direct link to search: http://www.888voipstore.com/forum/search.php

That was almost what I was looking for, but it requires a search term. I can't believe this forum doesn't have that as a standard link option. All of the other forums I visit (which is quite a few) have this feature. Makes it easy to just view all the new posts each time I visit.

Your right, I'm going to try to add this feature in.
