Miriam Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 In a long thread that has new posts, is there a way to have the newest posts come up first, rather than having to scroll down? Miriam Quote
Guest LightKeeper Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Not really but you could use the "View New Posts" feature at the top right hand corner of the forums. Quote
btrfld Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 The little down-arrow to the left of the Topic will take you to the posts you haven't read yet. I've never seen a way to change the order. Quote
Miriam Posted March 10, 2004 Author Posted March 10, 2004 That down arrow is exactly what I was looking for. I had no idea that's what it did. Thanks for that tip! Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 What "Down" arrow? I only see "UP" and "Right" arrows. Quote
MikeJ Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) When you are looking at the list of subjects in a forum (not when you are reading a thread).... there's an icon next to the subject of threads that have messages you haven't read yet. That icon is the arrow (click on it instead of the subject). Edited March 10, 2004 by TCH-MikeJ Quote
Madmanmcp Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 I've never seen a way to change the order. There is probably an Option that TCH can set which will reorder the notes and display the most current note on the top and work backwards down the list. Now most folks don't like this since you will have to read backwards in the "thread" to find the note you left off on and then read UPwards. The current format is easier IMHO. Quote
Virtual Imager Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 In the topic list, the far right column, "Last Action," is a hotlink to the last post in the thread, You can click on it and scroll up from there if you want. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 Thanks Mikej I never thought of that arrow as a link, just a marking thing. Quote
MikeJ Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) I never thought of that arrow as a link, just a marking thing. psssst... don't tell anyone, but neither did I until btrfld mentioned it... Edited March 10, 2004 by TCH-MikeJ Quote
borfast Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 I had suggested Mike a nice mod that places a tiny image on top of each post. If you've read the post, then the image will be simply white. If the post is new since the last time you visited that thread, then the image will be blue/purple. I'll ask Mike or Mitch if they can install it again. Quote
