New sheriff 'round these parts

[Dupo]

New emoticons have been added:

:skull :retard :rawk :bong :puke :pissed :yawn :jo :bang :fu :wow :ride :crash :haha

Okay, normally I'm not an emoticon sort, but the bong hit and the "wrist action/eye roll" may have won me over. I must look into how I can add these into my bidness correspondence.

Is there a way to get "View posts since last visit" feature like smf boards has?

I love the "1 button catch up" feature that provides.

Versus hunting for new posts.

Look at the upper toolbar on the forum...


View unanswered posts | View active topics | View new posts | View your posts

Yeah.

None of those do that though.

What smf does is "Show unread posts since last visit"

phpbb may not have that feature avail.

Not sure I understand. "View new posts" does exactly that. I use it all the time.

:??:

once you read them though it doesnt go away.

Thats the difference.

The view new posts used to be called view new posts since last visit and it pretty much worked that way for me. Occasionally I see ones I already read sneak in, but for the most part, it only shows me stuff I haven't read.

Each individual message that you read doesn't drop off the list.......until you actually LEAVE and come back later......but the indicator of an actual new post, over on the left, changes.

If it is not working that way for you, then something is wrong....maybe with cookies at your end....or maybe you need to close the browser before coming back.

It works precisely like several other forums I frequent.

It does turn off the notifier on the left side if I have read them, but they remain on the list. Whether I close the browser or leave and come back.

Its no big deal. phpbb and smf are 2 different forum systems. They wont work exactly the same. Just a request if it was real easy. Its not a deal breaker or anything.

Game on!
