Just wondering. The problem with view new posts is all the boards get kind of clumped into one. So looking down the list "blahx3" and "programming" are totally next to each other, making the individual boards usefull only for archival purposes. Not that this is a bad thing.

I was just wondering, does anyone NOT use the "view new posts" option when they get here? Are there those who miss posts on "Blahx3" because they refuse to visit there or what not. What do you say?

I don't use it.

I don't use it either. Maybe I should, I'll check it out. I had already noticed the link, but somehow it didn't tempt me (?).

What is the "view new posts"..?

I don't use it either. :)

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Eagle of Fire @ Jun 13 2006, 01:23 AM) [snapback]236283[/snapback]</div>It's on the top section of the fora pages. Until recently I posted almost exclusively in "A. Games Discussion", so I hadn't used it. Apparently it displays the most recently active threads, so it's quite handy I must say. I'll use it from now on.

I can't see how you might miss any post, even if you haven't visited the fora for quite long there's an option at the bottom right to make the page show post as old as a year old (!).

Have I missed anything? :)

I didn't even know this option existed. I use the "Todays Active Topics" at the bottom of the page and that's way enough for me...

"Todays Active Topics" looks like nearly the same thing as "View New Post".

Today's active and View new are very similar, as long as you're checking day-by-day. Skip a day, however, and Today's active doesn't help IIRC.

The one feature I really dig on View new is the "Mark all forums as read" link. Yeah, I like that one when I'm all done.

I dont uses that coz it pump all topics, better to look by another way.

I used it for a very short while.

There was also a time, when I was posting a lot, I would go into my profile and go through latest posts and check out all the threads I had posted in last visit then after just searched through all the forums.

I always use View new posts... I sometimes miss a post of two, but not many...

Edit: i've even bookmarked the 'view new posts'-page it and use it as my default link to abandonia...

I use the forum itself, really. It lights up when there's a new post, you know :bleh:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Reup @ Jun 13 2006, 12:55 PM) [snapback]236363[/snapback]</div>So have I.

I just look for interesting threads in the forums Im interested in.

I always use this function

I don't. Unless it's a quick second or third visit after checking the forum on that day already.
