View posts since last visit

[suzysu]

Before the changes I used to use the 'view posts since last visit'  ..now it says 'show unread posts since last visit

..is it only unread posts that can be viewed now? and not all recent posts ..hope that makes sense

I'm using the Classic YaBB SE Theme, which uses different icon colour indicators, which is much better than the view unread posts thingie 

The Forum list has a little coloured blob next to each subject area (Puppies, Health, Anything Goes etc) - if there is a post in a thread on that forum that you haven't read, the blob is a different colour. When you open the forum and view the thread headings, any threads with new posts in have the word NEW written next to them

It took me about a day to get used to it, but its worth a look if, like me, you really can't cope without "view posts since last visit" thingie.....

I'll try:

In your profile, you can select look and layout preferences (LHS menu). On this page, you can change your theme - the way the forum looks.  I have selectd the Classic YaBB SE Theme.

When you go back to the forum home page (that lists all the sub-forums - Behaviour, Puppies, etc) each of these has a coloured blob on the LHS on the sub-forum name. If there are any new posts in that sub-forum since you last looked at it, it goes a different colour.

when you click on the sub-forum name, you see a list of threads/topics. If any of them have got new posts since you last looked, they have the word NEW next to them

So, from the home page, you can scan the list of sub-forums to see any with new posts in; open the sub-forum, and see all the topics with new posts. Each time you return to the home page, it will always show you which sub-forums have new posts since you last looked in there, even those posted during current visit
