Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I've managed to turn the Unread Content button, top right, into a Latest Posts one that's as close as possible to the one on the old forum. Even none members and members not logged in will see it like that now. Let us know if this is an improvement, it can always be changed back. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I can see you've been making a few tweaks lads, looking better all the time. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 If (for some strange reason!) anyone is missing Unread Content, they can always make a Custom Stream to replicate it. I certainly like it Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you've already set a default stream that isn't Unread posts that will have already changed from Unread posts, but yes I think that should cerainly (on average) be more popular. Nice job!

Nev Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I kind of already had it set up anyway but this is good when you want to get back from the middle of a thread ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job! You're right Matty, if you've already set a default - then that will remain. But Latest Posts now shows for those that haven't, for anyone not logged in and for none members just browsing the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Williams Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Yes I already had my default stream set up to do this but it's handy having this one click access from any page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Chris, thanks for that. It looks like just the job, much easier to see what activity there is on the forum, and, as far as I can see from a quick glance, no repetition of posts.

Gary Manuel Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I should have read this thread before asking a (and answering my own) question in another thread. Yes Chris. This is the single most important improvement that you could possibly make to this site. The other issues are niggles but this was the one that threatened to keep old members away. Edited February 16, 2021 by Gary Manuel I really need a new keyboard. Missing Characters all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 I guess it's also worth pointing out for some that on the mobile version, this is now the Latest Posts button (unless you've made your own customised version) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The latest posts button has been there since the second or third day of the new forum going up. Top right hand side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 It has if you customised the existing or made your own stream and saved it as default. But for those who didn't and for anyone not logged in, it is now there as shown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks Chris I was talking about the grey text top right hand side - I've been using that from about the second or third day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Haha me too Leccy. That text reflects whatever you set as your default stream. If a member hadn't changed it, until today it said Unread Posts and that's what it showed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
