Forum Improvements?

[CarlOrton]

It used to be that if you saw there were new posts in a form (like Hangar Talk), if you opened the forum then closed it, all the unread threads would be marked read. Now, one has to open each topic that has new content, and you even have to open all pages if multiple pages in order to get the thread marked read.

Maybe it's just a setting I need to change to get back to that feature, but I haven't bothered to look, so it's obviously not that of a big deal.

Still, when I open Homebuilders Corner and I see another few hundred pages of "building a WWI replica", I really just want to hit the back button and know that it's all been marked read. Not dissing those posts. They obviously have great content, but it's just not for me, so I don't want to have to wade thru it.

I know it's not exactly what you want, but if you click the "Forum Actions" link on the bar under the tabs, you can select "Mark Forums Read." Read what you want of all the available messages, and hit the "Mark Forums Read" link when you're done. Next visit, only genuinely new posts will appear if you hit the "New Posts" link.

Well, it must not be me, then. :-)

Sorry, Dale, I was using that as an example of the expansion of an Ignore capability. AFAIK, there isn't an Ignore Thread capability on EAA's pages.

well, folks dont seem to be much interested in this topic. I dont see anything about any subjects or topics that would be of interest and havent heard anything from the people who set up the forum. Maybe it's not prime flying season, or writing about it. I thnk the site could be more.

This forum does pretty much what every other forum does. An OP starts a discussion and we discuss it.

What are you thinking it should do that is different from what we're currently experiencing? Are you looking for features or content?

Eighteen posts in a day and a half; it's not Hitler-Hello-Kitty active, but not bad.

I'm sorry you're not getting the specific types of suggestions you wanted. Next time, be more specific. Your first post was pretty generic.
