"todays posts"

[cormorant]

Hi

I used to have a option / tab across the top of the page that also included a option to click and it simply showed all of "todays posts". It was in a drop down menu that allowed me to click on subscribed posts, new or unread etc


For some reason - maybe my doing- when I log on it dosn't show that any more. Instaed I have a tabe with drop down alled "member CP" which is far less user friendly and doesn't include a "todays post" option.

Any help appreciated as I would like it back

Thanks.


PS Last time it disappeared I went to a very old stored favourite and when clicking on it the "old" and menu appared and has stayed that way for several months.


PSS Just had a quick look at a old page and it was called "quick links"

I'm pretty sure today's post is for people who are guest only

[cormorant]

I know what you mean but I was also able to see the option in the drop down tab "quick links" when logged in.


Ohh forgot to add - do admin read this section of the board or should I be sending a message to get a answer on something like this ??


Thanks

We read it.

There is a tab at the top of the page which says " New posts " between " search " and " Mark Forums read ".

That will take you to posts made on the day.

Cheers phill

Phill is there an option for only viewing NEW threads since you last visited?
Was wondering this yesterday as well

Franco, I think you will find the 'new posts' option is exactly that.
It only lists the posts/threads since your last visit.

Thanks Phil I know that one but

What I was asking was how I can change back to the menu / tab bar that doesn't have the member CP ab but has teh older tabs on it?


The "todays posts"was good for me as I am often on between 10pm and 2am and by clicking on it a couple of times I was able to get the last 24 hrs posts I had read and not read. Trying to do it by search is a nightmare as it requires 6 letters or whatever.

If I am on 2 PC for the day and I quickly look at a topic but don't have time to read it when I go look again I can't find it.

If you don't know the menu tabs I am talking about I'll go back via history or old link and try ( if somene can tell me how) to get a screen shot of the menu and tabs

I am guessing it has something to do with my logi and a cookie but am not a propeller head to know any more.

Thanks

Yep, you are right, the menu is not there. The forum is currently out of sync. It does it every now and then. Steve (Ausfish) will catch up with it soon and reset it.

Todays posts will still come up if you haven't signed in. If you have, the new posts works with a cookie which recognises that you have read some older posts and changes colour the thread title if you have been in the thread before

My issue is if you click on new posts and you haven't been around for a few days there is a LOT of reading to get through. If you stop half way through and go away for a while doing something else then you come back and click the back button it brings up the "nothing to display" or similar message.... That peeves me off because then I have to start going through ach individual forum finding the latest posts.

Nah, you aren't going mad. When it's like this it's a pain in the butt. Affects a lot of things I do as well

I guess it makes chasing down those members that post heinous things that much hard to catch, hey Mod 5;) ;D

Nah not really. Most times they stick out like dogs .............. well you know what I mean :P

[cormorant]

Ahhhhhhhh well it still isn't working. Can't just get todays posts whether I have read them or not.

When I stay logged in and am not reading posts "something resets "like a cookie and it shows all posts read so when I go "new post" I get like 2 posts that have just happened.

Can I please have the Todays post tab back or tell me where it is??/

Thanks

PS if that doesn't make sense just tell me .

[cormorant]

Ahhhh Mod My quick links tab has returned and am happy!!! Thanks

Please tell me it is going to stay and is not just because of the crash???

[Eileen]

Because of the crash everything is rebooted and has hopefully been cleaned up as well.
There are still some gremlins but hopefully things will be as they should be. (For a time at least until the next lot of gremlins strike)

[cormorant]

Hi


The "todays posts"has gone again. Not sure if it is something to do with me?

Appeared after your crash and reboot but has since gone walkies again

Makes it hard to look at all the posts of the day especially when with a computer that when I go tp the page looks up new posts . If I haven't read a posts then I don't read them unless I go to each individual forum

Cheers

Hey Cormorant,
Try clicking on the "Mark Forums Read' link,
then click on the "New Posts" link
this should bring up a bulletin message that gives you the option of reading all updated threads in the last 24hrs.

[cormorant]

Yeah I worked that one out , took me a while but still liked the "todays posts "one a sit showed teh ones you had actually looked at and so on.
