| Can the unread star(*) return for unread forum messages [unread done] | |
| 2008-11-29 07:16 | City of MT | I really liked the star in the forum before. I hope this handy feature can be restored. |
| 2008-11-29 11:54 | utopia.lv | Thanks for feedback!
Unread forum messages will be back soon. After I implement Private Messages. I haven't decided if I'll put (*) star icon next to new messages or will use some other way to highlight unread messages. Utopia |
| 2008-11-29 15:43 | David | I didn't even realize that the asterisk indicated "unread". Hmmm... |
| 2008-12-01 19:22 | City of MT | One more thing to add: instead of basing the unread messages around each IP address, it should be based on profiles. Each person has one profile, but may have more than one IP, thus making it easier to keep track of messages. |
| 2008-12-02 20:45 | tantraville | but people with only one profile but multiple IP's could also be that there is more then 1 user on that profile (like me) ;) so if my mate wants to check the forum he wont know what messages are new :) |
| 2008-12-10 14:57 | utopia.lv | The section will be highlighted now when there are new messages in the forum.
This is profile based feature and will work for password protected profiles. |
| 2008-12-12 07:46 | City of MT | Thank you |
| 2008-12-14 14:20 | des43t | When I come to the forum index initially, I see highlighted sections where there are unread messages. I click on one section to read a new message there, and then when I come back to the index to go to the next section with new messages, there are no longer any highlights. Therefore, I cannot tell where the new messages are. |
| 2008-12-14 15:04 | utopia.lv | Yes, it shows categories where unread messages are and does it only once.
The current solution is effective in terms of database speed and size and was easy to implement. If I wanted for every profile to track all unread topics, it would require much more database size and programming to do. When there are several unread categories, I usually open those categories in new tabs. |
| 2008-12-15 02:20 | City of MT | I hope eventually when there is free time to have the unread messages like it was in the old website, where every thread was highlighted/starred, not just the section. I do agree with des43t that this only indicates that something is new in the section, but does not indicate which thread is new. Can the old code be copied from the old site, or was the forum completely redesigned internally? |
| 2008-12-15 07:12 | utopia.lv | The code can not be copied because Forum code is different in this website.
OK, I'll make more proper unread topics functionality when I have enough time. |
