What Is The Best Way To Keep Updated Here?

[High Tide]

I'm not a big user of online forums, being a regular of just one other prior to joining here. I'm just curious how to keep up with the activity here. The other one I'm used to has a New Post link which let me see the most recent posts. I know there is the recent topics section, and I see the notifications of stuff I'm subscribed to and other things chosen in the settings.

How do you guys suggest as the optimal way to keep on top of things. For example on the other site I could click a Settings link which would show me any new posts on topics I had posted to or started. For new stuff there was the New Topics link, and finally and activity stream that showed all posts. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey High Tide,

Click on "View New Content" near the top (a few inches down) of the right side of the main homepage.

Cheers,

Yup right on point, I'm just throwing this out there if Anybody has pull on this site, I would love to see a "mark all read" key when you check new content, if you or anybody else could point me in the right direction to introduce this thought to a mod or admin! Thank you! Happy Holidaze!!

Thats already done, raphael:

Under Forums, then View New Content, on left hand side click: "Content I have not read".

You'll only get the threads, you guessed it, that you have not yet read...

Re-click another option if you want to re-read something...

Aaaaah. Now I see it sitting there disguised as something unimportant. Thanks for the heads up, no telling how long I would've gone without noticing it. Not that I'm dumb or anything, I can pour water from a bucket if the instructions are on the bottom.

I totally see that and thank you, but what I am regarding to is after you click on view new content, is there a key that you can click on that will erase em even with out reading them ( mark all read ) button

Having experimented with IP Board software on my web host a bit, this is, to the best of my knowledge, a software related issue and not something that admin can change. It's a feature the software simply lacks, but isn't a bad idea to suggest to the manufacturer for future revisions.

Gotcha thank you very much @Jewey

How can I just click one button and get a free order delivered to my house within the hour?

Where on this site can I find such feature? I've looked for hours but can't find the right link or page.

Maybe Jewy could chime in. He knows a lot about this kind of stuff, I think.

Thanks in advance,

Slammer

Ok, very funny Soldier, give me back my Xanax. Jokes over.

Good luck with that, it's probably one of those things hard to detect. Even harder than the View New Content sign. Kind of like white font on a white background, which I use to cuss people under my posts. You would be surprised how it can help you rant without others knowing you're even mad.

Good Luck and Happy Holidays Slammer!

I'm sure you knew that, but if you are like me you may have forgotten. /default_smile.png
