New Stuff!!!

[lizbud]

I have a question. Not about "new stuff", but an older feature. How many
posts does there have to be before a thread gets the "view first unread"
feature? I like that feature. It's very helpful in the longer threads. Just curious.

Thank you anyway.
Maybe another time.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

p.s. There's a prize for the winner.

It's always there, isn't it? It is at the top of every thread. It's not on the forum view, unless it is a new post since you were last logged on (no matter how many responses there were, one or twenty). But when you go into the thread, that view first unread option is at the top of every thread, even if there are no responses. I just looked at a thread with no responses and it was there. Did that make sense?

Exactly right. Open any thread, and it's there on the top left of the page. Or, on the forums homepage, clicking on the little arrow will take you to the last post, which is often just as good, depending how often you've been checking a thread, it's not that far up to the last one you've read1

Cool! I just noticed another thing in the poll- It tells you when it closes if you have a date set!

"This poll will close on 10-26-2005 at 06:05 PM" - from the Halloween/Fall contest in DG.

I still don't think I'm explaining this properly. Look at this thread,

Below the reply button there is a solid blue line on the left with option
boxes on the right, but there is no view first unread option.

Look at the first post in this thread.

and there is a view first unread option.


in the same place there is
a view first unread option.

Dunno, but I've looked at BOTH of your example threads,
and they BOTH have the "View First Unread" clicker
at the left end of the options bar.

Phred,

This is seriously weird. It does not display that way on my pc.
Only shows up on the longer thread.(one with more posts)
