Forum Change

Recommended Posts

I just changed how the forum marks posts that you have read and not read. We will try it for a while and see if you like it better.

 

The difference is that it will no longer time out and mark threads as being read even if you haven't read them. If you logout or are away for an extended period of time, The posts you didn't get too will still show up as "unread".

 

The downside is that it will now show all as "unread" until you mark them read. So it will appear screwed up for now but I THINK you will like it better once you get everything caught up.

 

There is a time limit on unread posts. If you don't read them within 10 days, they will be marked as read. It assumes that if you haven't read them by then, you don't want to.

This SUCKS.

 

Not even marking threads that I post to as read, as well as any others.

I have to back Gary on this one. It's not marking them read when I read them and I don't see a way to mark an individual thread read.

 

Wouldn't it be better the old way with the time until they are auto marked set way (infinitely?) long?

Well something is wrong already. I posted my above joking comment and when I was done the post was showing as read. I went into another posting, read that one and when I went to look for another post this post shows up as being unread? Same thing happened after I posted in the ride for Gunboat that Squidley posted. It showed as read, but now shows as unread?

Just thought I would mention this and I will watch as I comment on a few more to see if they do the same.

Those of you who don't like it, how are you using the forum. Are you selecting "New Posts" from the upper menu bar or using Today's Posts?

 

New Posts seems to work best.

 

Attached is screen shot of what comes up when I log in.

Have never used New Posts or Todays Posts

Another "FWIW" comment: I liked the way the old way worked because if I'd read a post & then click "New Posts", the post I just read shows up still, but not bold like the others I haven't read. If I wanted to go back to the post, it was easy. Now I have to hit "Todays Posts" to even see it again because it disappears from "New Posts" the way it is now. :2cents:

 

That being said, I could get used to the new way, which is really what it comes down to anyway. We are creatures of habit & this new way is not what we're used to, that's all.

 

Another thing, when a post was read & not in bold it was a visual aid as to where you were in reference to other unread posts.

I like it better. Seems to mark post as read better when todays post is selected. Not sure why it doesn't in the other formats. They are still read because if clicked on it will take you to the last post made, just not marked as read which is strange. It sure works better for those of us using tapatalk which when opened and then closed for whatever reason would mark everything as read.
