Board layout

Post by Swisslulu »

I use the 'View Unread Posts' link almost exclusively both here and on CF but I note that these links
View unanswered posts • View unread posts • View new posts • View active topics
do not appear on all pages as they do on CF. It's a pain to have to go back to Board Index after finishing reading a thread to get the list of Unread posts again from there.

Any chance of adding these links to all pages??? Pretty please. ;)
Cheers

I've change to doing the one trip to the board index then unread posts, then use the back around (left top corner of the screen in I.E.) to return to the unread posts menu, but was a pain in the butt before I found that trick though and still a pain if you add a post as it doesn't go straight back to the unread posts list.

Lesley it must be one of the 'features' left off that style because in you go into your profile & then to board preferences & set the style to subsilver you CAN then see those items. (click SUBMIT to lock it in!)
I've also noticed on the "Christmas" style that we lose the title & description of our Forum up top of each page.
I won't disable that style but seems like most have 'avoided' it?

Even in Subsilver only view your posts and messages are available, whem you go to the board index, then "View unanswered posts • View unread posts • View new posts • View active topics" are also available

Not sure about this bit "Message body:
Enter your message here, it may contain no more than 60000 characters. " will I need to shorten my posts :lol:

Brilliant! The subsilver layout works a treat. Thanks for that Mr/Mrs/Ms Admin. Terry the links you want are on the right hand side of the screen.

Can we have an option to Mark All Threads Read?

Hi George,
If you're using a different style that the Subsilver one you might not get all the options.
There is even less visable in the top logo section.
You have the choice of 3 styles in your control panel.
Once in Subsilver, you'll see the option to "mark Forum's as Read" over to the right side.
What style are you presently using?
