Problems

JackIL · Dec 31, 2001

Muhammed,
The new format doesn't seem to remember the posts I have read. I do not ever log out. When I return to catch up sometimes I use 12 hr, sometimes 1 hr, etc. However, the posts I have read are not "greyed out". Is this the design intent? If so, could I plead the case to have it restored so that any post you have read is marked no matter how you enter the discussion.
Thanks.

Muhammad,

Don't know how hard it is to do JackIL's request but I'll second the motion. If it's too much then I'll just revert to using one view only (which limits the power of all the great new features).

The site looks great, keep up the good work!

Can't really exaplin that one, but that it happens once in a long while for some people... myself included.

It was a first for me. Thought something was wrong. I guess it was just my turn in the barrel.

Muhammad,

Not sure how challenging this is or if indeed this already works and I'm doing something wrong /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif...

I generally read via the "Last hour" etc listing. When I read a note and reply to it, I'm returned to the forum topic list where the thread resides, not the "Last Hour" listing. For example, if I read a note and reply I end up looking at the "Off Topic & Just For Fun" page instead of back at the list I was at.

Am I missing a setup parameter somewhere?

Thanks for the great site and I love the enhancements!!!

No, that's working as it should ... since technically the recent message pages are searches, it's not going to return there as if it were a forum.

Kevin -

Not sure if this will help or not, but I use the Past xxx Hours, too, and what I do is to open each message in a new window (a right click option for Windows, click-and-hold for Mac). Read that message, go to flat mode, reply, etc. in that new window. When you want to go back to the main message list, just close the new window and you're right back where you were.

One drawback is that the messages you open that way won't show as "visited" until you refresh the list. Good chance to tone up your memory muscles.

Hey Harv,

That is exaclty how I do it... I do wish there was an option to go directly into flat mode... But, what the hay...

Me too, Bill, but I'm so thankful for what we've got now, I'm not about to ask for any more.
