See threads with new posts only

[thevaccinator27]

Is there a way to view only threads with new posts since the last visit? I thought there was, but I failed to find anything. Perhaps I am remembering EZBoard.

If I am understanding you correctly, you can click on the baseball to the left of the thread, and that should take you to the newest post in the thread. Is this what you're referring to?

Crew2323 is right. You won't see new posts only, but you'll be jumped to the first new post in a thread by clicking on the baseball icons next to thread titles on forum pages.

I know about (and love) the baseball icon thing. What I was referring to was seeing only threads with new posts since i last visited when I load a forum. I still think that was an EZboard option, though.

Given the existence of the baseball icon, it's at least very easy to tell visually which threads are new. I suppose if you're on dialup it'd be nice not to load the rest of the page, but otherwise it's not like it's dragging you down or anything.

It's more for the sake of iPhone browsing. Just trying to get it to load faster on the bus.

I had originally misread your question. I thought you were looking to see only the new posts within a thread. You're looking to view only the topics that contain new posts.

 

I did some poking around, and when we were on ezBoard, we had exactly the feature you're describing. We were able to check a box to enable a "View Only New Topics" preference.

 

Back around the time we migrated, Yuku told members that its intent was to eventually provide all ezBoard features (or replacements for those features). I don't know if that's still Yuku's intent or not. We used to know a lot about what was going on. However, since KickApps purchased Yuku in February, the flow of information has dwindled down to a trickle.

 

As an option, you might try clicking on the Account link in the Yuku navigation bar, clicking on the Preferences link in the Settings box at the bottom left, and setting your Topics Per Page and/or Replies Per Page dropdowns to 10. To kick in those settings, you'll have to check the box that says, "Use My Settings," and hit the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

 

I say "You might try" because I think this feature is still available without purchasing Yuku Supporter. The link says that "Non-Supporters are limited to 20 topics per page and 20 replies per page." I take that to mean that you can still choose 10.

 

However, as we're charged by in-thread page views, note that members viewing topics with 10 replies per page cost Brewerfan the same as members viewing topics with 20 replies per page. If a member purchases Supporter, we're not charged anything for those page views (as long as the member is logged in). http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif The number of topics per forum page viewed by members doesn't affect cost. We're not charged for those page views--whether members are Supporters or not.

 

If you'd like to poke around in your ezBoard Control Center, a login page is provided. Logging in will direct you to your Control Center. The feature you'd like to see offered by Yuku is on the Account Preferences page.
