Any way to bring up all new posts/threads?
« on: October 04, 2015, 01:01:41 PM »
On most of the other boards I read, there is a "new posts" or "new topics" button that brings up the threads in all sub-forums with new activity. I don't see it on this board, am I missing it? If not, could that functionality be added?

in the lefthand margin, under your login name...."show unread posts since last visit"

...which appears if you, in the upper right corner, have chosen to "expand" the header by clicking on the somewhat faint caret.

Thank you! I was wondering why 'unread posts since last visit' had disappeared.

Along the same lines is there an option to follow a thread without having to comment on it?

Secondly is there a way to remove "show new replies to your posts" sometimes I comment but don't want to follow the thread

thanks

No (which is why many people just post a one word "following" reply), and no, not possible with this forum software AFAIK.
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

Captain and Mrs Slow, If you click "notify" next to "reply" at the bottom right of any thread, you'll receive an email notification with a new post, (just once regardless of the number of new posts, until you visit the thread again), but the thread won't show up in your posts.
