New Posts!

[Sal-XK]

Not sure what you mean, do I need to change a set up somewhere?

When I log on I always choose "What's New?" so I am not sure what you are looking at or trying to see.

When you hit whats new it only shows you threads with new posts in it that you haven't read yet. On other forums it puts all the new post in chronalogical order whether or not you have read it. The ones with new posts are bold and the ones you read are lighter. Does that help

Exactly what sal said.

Okay, I moved this part of our discussion to this thread...

I need your help so I can fix this.

When I log on I am taken to the main "Home" page and then I can select between Forum, Blogs, What's New & Subscriptions.

I normally click "What's New" which does exactly what it indicates, it shows me what is new and ONLY what is new.

If I select "Forum" I get the liniar forum with all the threads in the order I set them up when I set up the forum.

How do you enter and what do you see that is different from the other forums you use? It looks like all the forums I use so I am confused but I want to understand so I can fix it.

When I click either (they both do the same thing for me) What's New or New Posts I get a linear listing of all forum threads that have been recently posted in. If I click one of those threads to read it, and then click What's New or New Posts again, that thread is no longer there.

In other words, I only see threads that I have not read.

Other forums show you all active threads. Usually, the ones you have read are normal font and ones that have new posts since the last time you read it are bold font.

At the bottom of the main forum page is this table:

Icon Legend
Contains unread forum posts
Contains no unread forum posts
Forum is a category
Forum is a Link

It shows that threads with a new post have a blue field where others do not, If you click that section it lets you select the threads with new posts if you so desire.

We're talking about how the threads show up when you click "new posts". I never (or very rarely) go into a single forum at a time to browse... i just click "new posts" to see what's active. There is where, if i read a thread, it disappears.

Okay, Maybe that is something with this version of software as I do not see a feature to show posts already read when you click NEW posts.

Here's another forum im on that's using the same software and it works. Maybe it's just a different revision?
