vBulletin Feedback Thread

marcski · Feb 28, 2006, 11:42 AM

I'm not sure if this was discussed yet...But I used to access the forums through a link Gregg gave me, one that led to the new posts since my last visit. Is there a similar link for the v-bulletin? I know about accessing the forums and then hitting new posts. But the old way saved a step.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think this is the link you're looking for:
http://forums.alpinezone.com/search.php?do=getnew

You can get to by clicking on "New Posts" in the menu bar above..

Now that's a fair request. Done.

What happened to this? I just opened an attachment and it opened in the same window...

I miss the old member's list where you could sort by number of posts, etc. It was fun to see how many posts people had. I was starting to break the top 25 too....

Confirmed the settings are correct. Works fine for me...

Just go to the memberlist and click on the Posts column:

http://forums.alpinezone.com/memberl...rt=posts&pp=30

Any other comments/questions? Other site elements that relied heavily on phpBB are being converted over as we speak.

Crap, it must be Firefox then. I thought I sorted out all of the issues after the recent upgrade...

The "Recent Discussions" area of the main page used to have the latest posts but it doesn't seem to update when a post is added to an existing topic...will this be changed or is this a new design feature?

New design limitation... I'll look into it, but it's not high on the priority list. Currently, the list shows new threads, not new posts. Clicking those links will bring you to the latest posts in the thread though...

I've somewhat addressed this. The list now includes topics with new posts. The date/time stamps are a bit misleading though as they are still pulled from the original thread post. It's an improvement though. Baby steps....
