Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |
When I check for new posts I would like a list of topics with new posts. This should be a much shorter list than the “new posts” list, which shows multiple replies for the same topic.
Currently I use a combination of “recent replies”, “recent topics” and “new posts: last day(s)”.
Additionally, I can’t seem to force unread topics to be read and I don’t really want to wander through all of them.

Just wondering if you have checked out the Tips for using the Lounge forum area Paul, such as:
Search for Topics Links
“Recently active topics” seems to be pretty close, but it requires that you remember where you were up to – a bit tricky after 2 weeks on holiday.
Kirsty, I did read “Tips” but I don’t subscribe to posts – I get enough email from my other forum (KeePass) – and the other suggestions don’t really help for the way I like to work.
cheers, Paul
The Recently Active Topics link in the right hand panel gives a view that includes Unread Topics and posts you have read that have Unread Posts.
Unread Posts is the arrow to the right of the topic title in the 2nd line, and the bottom line is the unread topic. I guess you are asking about something else, but I’m not quite sure what, sorry.
Also, you may find information of use in Keeping up with responses topic
That’s not an option that comes as standard, so would need to be written by the devs. That means $$$
We’ll get it added to the list, for the next phase of upgrades, in case it is something that can be achieved without too much cost or potential conflict with other installed options. Thks.
The system doesn’t handle spaces, so it adds a hyphen instead. I’ve edited the link up, so it should work as intended now
If I understand what @paul-t is suggesting, is the listing of topics with new replies and unread topics, not a list of individual, unthreaded replies or a list with topics that have already been read… (it’s possible this may be an incorrect interpretation!).
under the title “Search for Topics”, the third line is ‘New posts since last visit‘.
That one seems to be inconsistent in how it decides when the last visit was – at least I haven’t worked out what it uses, as sometimes you get a nice list and other times you get nothing.
cheers, Paul
p.s. Kirsty has the right take on my suggestion.
