Yes, that idea is good! I know that kind of forums, they are very easy to read because you don't have to go to page 2000000000 to see the latest post!TheRMVR wrote:So right now the forum works like this:
There are 15 replies on every page. When a page is full, a new page opens that also fills with 15 replies before opening a new one etc. etc.
The disadvantage of that is that you can't see previous replies when a new one opens again.
The solution is (and Im surprised that this forum doesnt have it because every other forum I know works like this):
There are 15 replies on every page. But when the 16th reply is posted it doesn't open a new page but it pushes the first reply back. So every time a new reply is posted you can see the previous 14 replies.

That might be something to think about.
Yes, it just always shows the 15 newest replies/posts.richard_leeds wrote:That's clever, I've not seen that before.TheRMVR wrote:There are 15 replies on every page.

So when you click on "new posts" it shows the 15 most recent potsts? Thinking it through:
- If there were 5 new posts, the screen would show the first new post, with 10 older posts above, and 4 new below?
- What happens if there are 18 new posts? I guess you would see a page with 15 new posts, and the first new post at the top. Then click next page to see the next 3, and click previous page to see the older posts?
I assume that when you browse the thread by clicking on title, or a specific page, then the posts would be in the current order?
Okay checked out the 'view my posts' feature and whilst I agree it's almost there it doesn't quite work how I'd personally like. It appears to list all threads I've ever posted in that have had replies, but in the order in which those replies were posted. So in my list there are threads mentioned that I haven't read or posted in for several months, that are sat there simply because someone else has posted in them.myurr wrote:Maybe I've not explored the site enough to notice, but I'd really like a way to easily keep track of threads that I've posted in without being bombarded by emails. A 'my posts' page as you will where I can see my most recent posts and see if there have been any further posts on that thread and how many direct replies there have been. I'd like to be able to click on the title of my post to then view the forum thread from that point.
Yeah, they would be in time order. It doesn't matter if they are at the top or bottom. Thats something the moderaters should choose.HungryHebbo wrote:Are they in time order though like in the normal manner? As in is the latest post at the bottom of the page or the top?

What I'd like is a facility where I can see *my* most recent posts along with info as to whether there have been further replies (maybe even as specifically as listing the number of replies since I last viewed that thread?).
That's already possible on here. Every thread has a link for:doopie2you wrote:you don't have to go to page 2000000000 to see the latest post!
Use Firefox and imglikeopera plugin. You can set it to only show cached images, or images from this site only etc. I use it for browsing on the train because the wifi is a bit slow.andrew wrote:Fair enough. They can take a while to load for me.
I'm loving the quick reply boxes. Getting frustrated when a thread does not have one!mx_tifosi wrote:I like it but can you add it to the race threads as well? They would be very useful on race weekends IMO.Tomba wrote:There is one now in the general chat forum as a matter of experiment.

It is simply a box into which you can type text and then press send. It a saves having to open up the full reply form.
The race threads get a lot of traffic and the post count is very high, so the QRB would be even more useful there.
