BengalszoneBilly Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 That's why everything looks and feels different. A few more changes are coming, mostly in the appearance/colors, but that'll take a little more time, so don't freak out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Oh really? I hadn't noticed. Hopefully the chages makes life easier for you mods and admins anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregstephens Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hey! Why is this thing blue? Don't you know the team colors are black and orange!?Just kidding. I think the new forum looks great and so far seems easier to use and read. Thank you, Terry. I know you spent a lot of time and planning on this (probably a little cash as well). We knuckleheads that have very little to do but hang on here all day (and we know who we are ) greatly appreciate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Looks good so far and definitely appreciate the continued effort put into this board for us with nothing better to do with time !!!On a side note:If any forum member comes across something that appears to be an issue, please PM one of the mods to bring it to our attention. Thanks alot !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Is there an "unread posts" feature in this new software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Is there an "unread posts" feature in this new software?Yes. In the upper right hand corner under the search bar is an option for "View New Content". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregstephens Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Is there an "unread posts" feature in this new software?Yes. In the upper right hand corner under the search bar is an option for "View New Content".Or if there is a little icon of paper with an arrow on it next to the topic title, that should take you to any unread posts in that thread, or it least that's my experience is showing me thusly.

TJJackson Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks, but ---The "view New Content" button returns results that are not sorted by date/time of most recent updateIe you get a list of new content, but the newest item is not the first item, the second newest item is not the second newest, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks, but ---The "view New Content" button returns results that are not sorted by date/time of most recent updateIe you get a list of new content, but the newest item is not the first item, the second newest item is not the second newest, etc True enough. It's irrelevant for my needs, though. After sorting through all the new posts, I always click "Mark Board as Read". So, when I click on "View New Content", I'm interested in seeing all of it, regardless of which thread is the most current.That said, I am curious as to how it's sorted.

That's a nice addition as well. That and the highlighting the responses when you reply directly to someone as I have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 so is the sort going to be fixed, or is this not considered an issue?the way I previously got into this forum was through a link to latest posts, that limited my view only to those threads that had been updated since I last logged in. We seem to have lost that functionality at this early point - and again, if I am wrong, np, correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's showing up for me. Did you click "Mark Board as Read" at the bottom? If not, try that to see if it kind of refreshes things and gets it working properly. Like I said, I always make a point to do that after I've read everything I'm interested in.

TJJackson Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 after flushing my cookies and re-logging in, the only thread that shows up with updates today in the "view new content" list is the reds-Bluejays thread. Everything else listed is from yesterday or olderand there are definitely other threads that have newer updates, including (but not limited to) this oneso this is definitely not working right for meNot to bitch - I love BZ Forums - just hoping I can help work through the problem as i suspect I will not be the only oneIf it helps - OS is XP, Browser is Firefox 3.0.11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Reds-Blue Jays thread is the only one that's been updated, then it's the only thread that should show up. Can you take a screen shot similar to the one I posted?

Once I hit the "Mark Forum as Read" link at the bottom of the page, everything was removed. Also the new board is different than the last in regards to viewing latest content. The old way it would still show this thread on it even if you'd viewed it, it would just eliminate the new post icon. The new way will completely remove the link to the topic under the view new content if you have viewed the content since latest post. I hope that makes sense.

TJJackson Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Dunno what to tell you.I went ahead and marked every single forum as read so that hopefully the stuff thats new *starting now* will appear in 'View New Content'.I'll let you know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
