New Post Display

i like the old way better too, but i guess i can adapt.

Agree on the first part.

A difference to Doom9 is that they only have a "new" option. We have "Since last visit/1 day/2day/3day" options in the same menu bar.

I do think the old way was the best one.

probably stored in the cache

another reason why i continue to use firefox!

Yep thats what I see to. All is well again.

ty for pointing this problem out angel, it was stressing me.

I do think the old way was the best one.

the majority WANTS this new system?

How do we know the majority WANTS this new system?
Was there a poll some where I didnt see?

If so, the minority don't want it...

I might be missing something. I can still see unread posts. Even after the seperator for the threads have not been updated since last visit. The ones I read are dimmed, the ones I EDIT didn't read are still bold. Must be a cookies thing.

So far from this thread alone I see Mods replying saying they dont like it.

Who is this majority? Just wondering cuz i dont see that many people saying they like it this way.

Just wondering. LOL

I do like it because sometime I do have alot of time sometime I just have few minutes keeping 2-3 days will not make me out of the loop

[jm1647]

I just edited my previous post, all the messages I don't read are still bold. I left out didn't

That's the point - the unread ones are strill unread, even after 15 minutes or a logout. That allows you to know when things are unread.

And there was no poll. Just olyteddy's suggestion (which I thought was good, anyway).

If you want to emulate the old method, simply use the "mark all forums as read" option before you close the browser or log out. The only other significant difference is when you click on the "new posts" link twice or more. The old way would update your current list with new posts while keeping the read ones there (until the search expires in 15 minutes). The new method does exactly the same except the read ones are removed from the list, but the list will never expire. You can always use the "New posts from last 24 hours" option to see a complete list of read and unread threads anyway.

Other than the 2 above points, there really isn't that much difference between the old method and the new method. The important benefit is that you will never accidentally lose the list of unread threads just because your session timed out or you accidentally closed your browser, which happens to me (here and on other vB forums) quite often.

i never had a problem. if i wanted to see threads i missed, i just selected new posts from last 24 hrs, 2 days etc....

sorry to be an ass, but there is always someone who will bitch and moan! i just hope it at least stays the way it is now for a number of years...

[blutach]

Trouble was looie, the "last 24 hours" weren't bold and you didn't know what was what. In fact, IIRC, this new way is very similar to the way we had it before v3.5 of vBulletin where only by reading a thread you could make it not bold.

We will all have to adapt, and heck its just humane nature to complaine about change

Some change is just easier to take to then others. But in time everything changes.

Now that some time has gone by and I no longer have the never ending list in my usercp I guess its OK.
