New Posts Notification

Post by Naethyn »

On the Board Index it shows what forums have new posts by the orange icon. If I entered a forum on the previous version of NT and I saw the topics marked as new posts and i then left the forum without actually entering the topics, the index would then update to show there are no new posts.

In the current version it forces me to enter every single topic to remove the new topic orange notifier. I am not sure if this is a setting in my control panel (I could not find it). I preferred the previous method as it allowed me to quickly go through each forum to check if topics I was interested have been updated.

It's a minor difference, and I'm not totally sure of the longterm affects. Such as what If I never enter a topic in each board? Would all boards eventually remain orange? I'm not sure if after a certain period of time this goes away, but currently each day more and more forums are getting marked as new to the point of all the forums marked with a new post notifier.

it works exactly the same as before for me

unless you read a topic, or marked it as read, it SHOULD stay as unread


that's just kind of common sense

The old board was bugged, thats why it did that to some people. This board actually works correctly. There is a link for make topics read on the top right of the page when you goto a section. If you click that it will mark the whole section read.

Is there an option to mark all topics read on a forum wide basis?
