Hot thread with new posts icon....

[Gizzer]

Hi,

I usually like to navigate this style forum by looking at the icons next to threads to decide what has new posts. But unless my eyesight is going the "Hot thread with new posts" icon is the same as the "Hot thread with no new posts" icon.

Could one of the icons be made to stand out a bit more?

Cheers!

(Great forum by the way )

Just give

Menu bar>Quick Links>Today's Posts a try.

This is the most popular way of viewing the forums.

Nice! I never even noticed the Quicklinks button before!

I use the 'new posts' link all the time, in fact I've got it setup as a bookmark

One thing I find annoying is the message "This forum requires that you wait 15 seconds between searches. Please try again in x seconds.".

I can understand why it's there, but any chance of reducing down to 10 secs?

OK, since the suggestion this morning I've been using Quick Links all day for the "todays posts" option, BUT I'm getting really annoyed by the fact it shows todays posts from all forums. Is there any way to just restrict it to one forum?

not as far as im aware, you would need to do an advanced search instead i think.

in that case can I go back to my original request to have one of the icons changed?

Would make life far quicker than an Advanced Search just to get Sub Forum specific daily posts...

I don't think it's something that can be changed- it's part of the basic software for the forum.

If you go into a sub forum, the posts are listed in most recently used order anyway.

so, what your saying, we should , on a whim, change a highly succesful set up to make your life a tad easier?

cant really see it making a whole hill of beans difference to the masses, but Im sure the Powers That Be will bear this one in mind

we cant change the settings to display new posts per forum, as dpj says they are all listed in new post order anyway, so open said forum and f5 your ass off!

we are not changing anything forum wise due to impending upgrades anyway!
