TomBettle Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 One for Paul D I suspect. I haven't been around as much as I used to be for sometime and so the new forum layout is provig a little challenging for me. I used to live by the scrolling bar that told of new posts on the old site. I'd pop in, see what was current and comment if need be. Is there anything like that on the new site as now I struggle to view the very latest posts? Sorry for being thick. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live bait Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Tom Like you I used to pop in and see if any of the recent posts interested me. Nearest I can see to the old latest posts scrolling window is to click on "view new content" - top right of the page. There's also a static list of recent posts on home and forum pages. Hope that helps. Cheers Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 The best way to see posts left since your last visit is the "View New Content" button top right of the page, this will show all posts you have missed. There is also a box on the right hand side of the page entitled Recent Topics, this give the last 5 entries. Personally I find the View content button most useful and did with the old site.

Stuie Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 On the same theme as martin - I use the 'view new content' tab and find it very useful. However - and this may be geriatric me - after viewing the first 'new content' I click the return arrow in the top LH corner of the screen to return to the list of 'new content'. I'd like to be able to go to the next 'new content' without having to go back to the list. Is it me? Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Unfortunately Stu you either have to click the back button as you do or click the view new content button again. If the thread you are looking at is more than one page you would have to click the back button several times depending on how many pages you have viewed so getting into the habit of clicking the view new content button might be a good idea Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 One feature I found on the view new content list is on each item there is a little arrow in middle of each one. Press this and it will show the first and last pst. Like you all I am still learning the features on this latest version. Using iPad too and puzzled where this ears sage toolbar is. I think it is because the advanced editor only works on a pc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have tried adding the smiley the screen flashes off and then back on but nothing gets added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Seems to work fine on the PC here. Pressed the smiley icon and a row of smiley faces appears. Can you see these ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Biggest tip I got from Paul was to make sure you have logged out of the old forum. Don't know why it works for me but I can see and post, edit and see smileys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I can see them all on my screen. As Coddy says make sure you are logged out of the old site prior to logging in here. It made a difference to me especially with the gallery functions Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Just testing on my iPhone. Seems to work ok for me Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Trust me took me a few weeks of spending hours updating the website only to find that the cause of the problem I had with the gallery was because I needed to log out of the old forum. It is all to do with the cookies. I might try tweaking them a bit, but then this is bound to break more ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Can we also have a 'mark all content as read' button like we had before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I have looged out of the old forum, as without that can not add posts Blow me it works on office PC I will try again at home later, Thanks Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Can we also have a 'mark all content as read' button like we had before? We kind of already have that. If you go to the forum home page and look at the headings you will see to the left a feint set of quotes. Headings with new content in have bolder quotes If you click on bolder quotes logo it marks the memory as read. You do however have to do it for each heading.

Adam F Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I like to click on the view new content button, read what intrests me and then click mark as read - otherwise each time I visit Ive got to trawl through unread threads to get to the new stuff? Can we have this linky back pretty please? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 At the bottom of the page there is a link called "Mark Community Read" This does what you want. I will see if I can put it in a more prominent position at some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
