New [and hopefully only temporary] look of the Forum
#66
Peter Presland Wrote:I've implemented a work-around for the 'Today's Posts' - 'New Posts' issue.

When nav-bar 'Forum' is selected, the left hand sub-menu item will now ALWAYS be 'Today's Posts'. Selecting it will produce posts timed during the previous 24 hours relative to your local time setting.

The problem is that you will then find the nav-bar 'What's New?' button highlighted and the breadcrumb last item above the post list will say 'New Posts'. Can't figure out how to change that behaviour I'm afraid but the 'Today's posts' list will be correct. Clicking on the 'What's New' button will then produce items posted since your last log-on.

That'll have to do for now.

Sounds good....but...uhhh... I do see a 'What's New' button...but it contains the exact same as under 'New Posts', which at the moment gives 15 posts [not enough] and none that were there [unless added to] only 7 hours ago when I went to bed. As a matter of fact, none are older than my midnight - when it seems to 'reset'. I think it should be a full 24 hours or even 48 hours, better. I don't mind if there are 3-4 pages of them....most are interested in what has been posted newly. If not it is no problem to go to a topic and see what there or search for a term.

On searching, I find the internal search works somewhat, it does seem to pull up some extraneous ones too. Wasn't there before the choice to search just in the topic and key terms vs. within all posts? That would be a good choice, if available.
Sounds like vBulletin has the mentality of MS.....we make all decisions for you....

Peter et al. I do realize and appreciate all the hassles there you are working on....sorry to add to them. The old software worked better - or seemed to from this end.
