THe recent topics column normally on the right is gone. It was like this at home last night and now this morning as well at work. Just curious if there was a planned change i was unaware of.

Last night I removed it while I was adding the potm to home page and forgot to re-enable. Don't you use the unread message button in the upper right hand corner. Reason I ask is I was thinking of removing the recent topics from homepage because it can keep people from joining Ohio Reef by giving them a method to navigate site as guest and takes up space I could use for other cool stuff. I won't though if folks like it or use it.

im fine with using the unread, it was just nice for those of us who frequently visit the site to see new posts, etc. But I'm ok with the unred/replies shortcut. I just wanted to make sure that it wasnt just me that this was happening to.

So in a way, i guess no, i dont usually use the unread, but I'll start

You think that by them seeing the posts that it prevents them from joining work? Hmmm, i woudl think that by being able to see the posts it would interest them into joining.

But i can see what you are saying.

Ive always just looked at the side of the page...didn't know there was an unread button....

lazylivin · « **Reply #7 on:** December 01, 2011, 12:06:58 »

I don't know Darin maybe not. The recent topics only has about the last 15 topics. Sometimes that is only the last couple hours so if you are using that you are likely missing lots of posts or entire threads. Especially with the current activity on Ohio Reef. 4,462 posts for November!

My recommendation is to bookmark this URL. http://www.ohioreef.com/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0

Another good reason to remove recent topics.

DarinSchmidt · « **Reply #8 on:** December 01, 2011, 12:09:18 »

i'll be using the unread from now on. i just checked it, i had over 380 pages of unread topics. so maybe i missed some good stuff, i'll never know becaus eim not sifting through 380+ pages lol

lazylivin · « **Reply #9 on:** December 01, 2011, 12:13:54 »

And that is just the banter from Boon and Hunger trying to boost their post count.

First this board works well, unlike some I have used...

I use the unread button. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If I get nothing using the unread button, then I try:

No unread topics found since your last visit. Click here to try all unread topics.

WHat I would really like to see is once you click unread and all the threads are shown, I would like a box next to each topic that I could select and individually mark threads unread.

If I want to clear out my unreads, then I have to look at each topic, or click mark all as read.

My $.02 on the board.

Blazinreef · « **Reply #13 on:** December 01, 2011, 15:02:46 »

so what is the difference between the unread and replies??

Todd W. · « **Reply #14 on:** December 01, 2011, 15:06:08 »

My assumption is unread are all threads that you have not read since your last visit to the site.

Replies are replies to posts that you have made in a thread.

Sunny · « **Reply #15 on:** December 01, 2011, 15:08:27 »

I have always used the unread button. I never noticed the side thing.

I never go to the home page so I never realized there were posts there. LOL I always use unread. The only thing I've never liked is if I click on unread and don't have time to read everything they are gome the next time I bring the page back up. The are still marked new if I scan the forum which takes even more time.

I visit another SMF forum that has that option. I was thinking it was a mod so I asked their admin about it. They told me it was standard in SMF. I'm not sure if our theme doesn't support it or what.

Brian, could you look into that? I've looked through the settings but didn't see anything to enable/disable such an option.

Micki,

If no new shows up, click the "Show all unread messages" and you will get all the unread messages. The "unread" at the top only gives you unread since last visit.

It is a mod. I found it and forwarded a link to Brian.
