Sorting/filtering "view New Posts"

[CurlingSteve]

Am I missing something?

Within the forums you can sort the threads in a variety of ways.

Can I do this with "View New Posts"?

If not, it might be a feature to consider.

For example sorting by forum (then by most recent?) would be a help to me.

Or being able to filter the list by forum, so I would see just Open Chat.

Hi,

Well, when someone makes a new post the thread goes back to the top, so you'll always know when there is a new post, also the topic folder turns darker. There is something at the bottom of the forum called, Todays Active Topics which shows the topics that are most popular that day. You can minimize the forums to only show certain forums. On the top right hand side of each forum there is a minimize button which you can click and it will hide the forum.

Hope that helps.

I belive the View New Post link is exactly what your looking for. When your done and you want to tell the forum you have read all the posts, on the bottom there a small link saying Mark All Posts as Read. That'll mark them all as read, obviously :D .

I guess I'm not making myself clear.

I'm talking about after I click "View New Posts".

While viewing that list, there is no "Order:" or "Topics:" options box presented, as there is when one goes to a forum itself.

Having that box available in "View New Posts" would handle what I was driving at.

I hope this makes my question a little clearer.

Hi,

I don't think it's possible to do. Maybe in future version of IPB (the forum software) but as far as I know, not in the current version.

That's odd, but maybe their Search Results lock into Order:Last Post, Z-A, Show All, Topics:All with no options selectable.

Oh well, it was just a thought.
