I don't think I can vote as I don't know if any of those would matter that much to me.
I see no point in collapsing the categories. I always look at everything and (except for the archive which I hope to be able to spend some time with!) read any of the ones I've missed.
Also, the "Search New Posts" - the "new" indicators seem to work quite well, so it's easy to find all of the new items as it is. I suppose, on a long thread, it would be helpful not to have to wade through a lot of previously read items to find the new ones.
Exactly. Several people have mentioned that it would be nice if they didn't have to wade through several posts before they came across ones they haven't read yet in a particular topic. This feature would be an alternative to having to wade through those posts. :)
But if collapsing the categories would be best for the speed and help you guys behind the scenes..... can I change my vote???Ringo,
Ringo,
Please feel free to consider that choice in terms of whether the speed of loading it on your computer is or isn't a top priority for you.
Please feel free to consider that choice!
Question:
but they don't have the capability of tracking whether or not you've clicked on a topic. So, the "new" indicators are on all the stuff since your last visit,
Fortunatley, we don't have that problem here. If you don't get to read everything in a thread, there's no way for that to be indicated, but at least any threads "unclicked" will stay "new" until they are.
got my vote! I would still like to see a 'go to first unread post' function- some of the threads have gotten quite long :) and since i discovered using the page number thingy, I usually start at the last page and work back to find unread posts ~ so I think this would be the best 'functional' choice in the poll.
Hi MB! About 5 or 6 posts above this I asked a question. Perhaps you missed it. I'd really be curious how this feature would work
All this sounds great. ;)
But I would worry about allowing file attachments.
Isn't that how many viruses get through?
I don't think I understand what the file attachment choice would do for us, that we can't do now!?
How about part 2? Regardless of how the new feature works, will the old "new" tags work the same way that they do now?
This is totally weird. Having said I'd finally vote, I went back to the top, and I think I clicked the "vote" button. All I found was the results, but no way of voting. I tried bringing up the topic fresh. I tried back a few more times. Then, I left the site and came back a couple of hours later.
So, before you clicked the Submit button, did you make a selection [check one of the radio buttons]?
It was just the results and that's all I've seen ever since. I never made a choice and I never even saw a "submit" let alone click it.
Anyway, in case I never get to do it - put me down for the "Search New Posts"!!
