JHMO... Old threads are helpful as a reference. It's just that rules, policies and strategies can change over time. Very old threads can be confusing/misleading to anyone who isn't paying close attention. Once an old thread is resurrected, I've seen folks start replying to the original poster or quoting old posts made in the thread.

But I understand not wanting to prevent newbies from posting on the forums. Too bad posting on an mothball thread couldn't trigger a new thread with a link to the old.

I agree--wish there was a way to indicate it's a 'mature' thread. In the past, moderators have altered the subject heading. Just one recent example of retrieving old threads that many of us like is Cat's Thanksgiving Turkey Brining Recipe.
 
I also would like to see the name of the forum on the right and more prominent, rather than the name of the last poster. It is difficult to see the name of the forum in the small gray print.
 
Brian, any closer to getting tapatalk interface working?

I think they mean, they want to see the name of the forum on the right on the New Posts page. Currently, it shows the name of the last poster and the forum name is under the thread title. It isn't real easy to see.
 
I am not liking it. I clicked on Mark all forums as read, but I am not getting it. I would have to do this every time?
 
This may have already been asked but I can't find it ...

I'm really missing the google search function in the "Search" dropdown box, would like it to be added if that's possible? If not, can somebody please share the instructions? Thanks!
 
Didn't read through to see if anyone else is bothered by this. My own threads/replies don't show up for ages after I post them. Used to be if you typed something that thread would immediately show up at the top under new posts. There is a time lag now that makes it feel like the post just dropped off completely and disappeared.

For instance I can only find my words above by going to the About Tug Forum, and my iPad problem post from a few minutes ago is only in the Lounge right now, neither show in the general chronological listing of new posts.
 
FYI - new posts

They seem to update asap on the "right side bar" of the Forums page.

I agree that they do not show up -at once - when you re-click on new posts .

Not a huge problem --- (except for those of us with the TUG new post addiction syndrome)

I have been working on trying to edit that field to make it easier to see other than the grey, but for whatever reason its not taking.

tapatalk seems to think its related to our version of PHP, so i need to schedule a time with our host to upgrade that.

when you click it, a box should pop up saying "are you sure you want to mark all forums read"...once clicking that the next time you come to the forums there should be no new posts in the "new posts" section.

that was a custom modification doug made and it will have to be redone..just have to find a useful place to put it at the top since the existing "search" box is actually an interactive box vs a link to click to drop down and initiate that box like it was on vbulletin.

for ease of use, that link is http://search.tug2.net

its not likely to every show this, because if you make a post in a thread...the thread would not be "unread" and thus "not new"

it would only show up later on down the road if someone other than you made a reply in that thread since your last viewing of it.

I discovered I have to click that every time to see what threads have new posts in the forums. (I don't find the new posts section on the right to be helpful, so I'm ignoring it.) It's the same way on a vBulletin board I frequent. Annoying, yes, since that wasn't the case before on TUG.
 
another option you can use is to sort any particular forum by "start date"...instead of the default "last post".

the tops of the columns of each forum are sortable like an excel spreadsheet.
 
Not impressed with new layout - not easy to get around....but then I (an older person) doesn't like to deal with change on something that didn't seem broken.
 
I believe what some of you are looking for is available in the "recent threads" link....which is located at the top right of the "new posts" page.

this displays all posts/threads (even yours) sorted by most recent.

here is the direct link:

http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/index.php?find-new/13649/posts
 
scratch that, just found a way to add "recent posts" to the top nav bar...this should be exactly what some of you were looking for in terms of most recent posts...vs most recent unread posts.
 
ha...just for me...thats actually way handier than the "new posts" link. kudos for the feedback to get that enabled!

OK, that seems like it will work for me, "recent" vs "new". Thanks

could you provide an example or two of things you are finding difficult? perhaps we can provide (or implement) a solution?

Thank you!
 
I am finding that there is not enough distinction between the bold and the grayed subject lines once marked "read." I'm also having trouble reading the name, date and time stamp that appears at the bottom of a post. The light gray and small font just doesn't work well for my eyes. Also agree with others that the bright white background is glaring.
 
been trying to tinker around with "toning down" the white background, but have not yet found the right color.

when switching towards a more muted grey...it just looks odd to me?>
