Indication of new posts on a forum section.

Yes I know I have been away for quite a while and everything has changed here, but when I click on Forum and see the list of different categories, there is absolutely nothing to indicate whether or not there is a new post on it, in any section of it.

I see General, with a load of sections.

I see Lifestyle, with a load of sections.

And so on and so forth.

But on none of them is there any indication of a new thread/post, and there was before the Forum changed.

I am fairly experienced with different websites/fora/message boards, and even though I stopped posting on here due to personal circumstances, prior to that I had posted regularly. And it was easy to see at a quick glance whether any category/section/thread had a new subject and/or post.

Now? It is like wading through treacle.

Karl hun, if you are still around at any time, please let me why it is not possible to indicate new threads/posts on each category/section.

Oh, and isn't there a Preview facility any more?

It says 'new' in green above, i.e...Lifestyle header above the header it will say 'new 1' It isn't easy to see. Hope that helps . BUBBADOG14

OK, thanks. I see that now.

But - I still cannot see if there is any way to go to first unread post, or if there is such a facility.

There is also no PREVIEW setting which means submitting and then having to edit if something is incorrect.

In addition, how on earth do I insert an image? I managed it on my first post here yesterday but no matter what I do now it just comes up as the img or url code and not the actual picture.

One other thing - if I follow the link from the email telling me there has been a response to my post, the forum opens on another tab and I have to log in again, even though I ticked to be remembered and never actually log out.

As I already have two windows open, each with seven or eight tabs - including having Able Here on one tab, why is it asking me to log in each time?

Sorry, but I don't remember having this problem with the old set up, and I don't have it on any other forum. So need to get this one sorted before I can get to grips with it again.

Thanks.

You need Karl to help you with those other problems! I'm afraid I'm useless with any technical stuff! Sorry :sick: !

I just have to get used to the way this new layout wotsit works...

Not yet!

In the boardcode section!

You have found an error, well done.. I will fix it soon.

Hi Karl

I am slowly figuring out this new set-up and am glad it wasn't my imagination that there isn't a way to go to first unread post - hopefully you'll get round to it as soon as you can.

Right. Images. I can see on the boardcode section both the img and url link wotsits, but the img one doesn't always work. I have sorted my own way of posting images, well, mostly, as some just don't seem to be compatible with this site.

The first one was my way, this one is another way:



This is trying from the boardcode section:

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQhAfmj2eqfZkZkXEMJ3fj6YUW8Z6PDXNqTSKlRpc4AZm3CWc36&t=1

which has not worked.

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9

Neither did that one but this does, only not from the boardcode section:




See what I mean?

I am doing exactly what the boardcode should be able to do, but that isn't working, and yet it works if I do it my way.

This problem is now fixed!
