Guest Phantom Z Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Do you guys like the old way? New posts are there from your last login and will stay there until you log off, downside is that if your session times you out your New Posts will be refreshed. Or the new way that keep anything you haven't read in your New Posts however once you've opened it, it is no longer considered a New Post? Quote

grtrat1 Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Like it is now...Most boards are set up this way..Keeps things easier on the user end.. Quote http://www.offtopic.forum/images/sig.png
hoser Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 I personally have never seen a forum where a thread disappears after you have read it, that doesn't make sense to me and I really hate it. Why not just keep the read threads in the "new posts" results??? It's no loss for the people that like the way that it is now, it still shows that the post is read and is still easy to navigate the new posts. However for those that don't like the way it is now it is a real pain. Why would a thread disappear after you have read it?? As I have stated before, many times I, and others, will read a thread, then come back to it a bit later after we think of something to add to the thread. The way it is set up now, the thread disappears and if I want to add to a thread I just won't because I don't want to wade through every forum trying to find the thread I am looking for. Basically, the new way does not promote posting. It is difficult to find threads to respond to them and that is not what forums are about. Quote
whoppes27 Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Yea I like the active topics section that some other forums have. Unless Im trying to find something specifically, the active topics is the only thing I look at, and after I read a thread it stays there and doesn't disappear, which I prefer.

Basically, the new way does not promote posting. It is difficult to find threads to respond to them and that is not what forums are about. Exactly what Hoser said... doesn't promote posting.. I read / think / go back if I can help / want to post a pic or link... If I gotta search, especially on my phone 90% of the time I never find it again.. all the sites I'm on do it the old way.. Dissapearing threads just don't make sense to me. I (and many others) have limited time... spending that searching for a thread you want to help in is counter-productive to the site I think. Quote
hoser Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 If you click on a sub-forum like the Lounge, it shows all the threads that you have and have not read. The ones that you haven't read yet will be bold and have the little icon you can click to take you to the first new post that you haven't read. All the threads you have read are not bold and don't have the icon. That's the way the "New Posts" needs to be. It just makes sense. Why have a thread disappear just because you have read it??? Quote
OTMTRX Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Keep it going Chance.. We'll wear them down... Lol. Seriously though... Why have disapearing threads? More posts, more info, make it easy for people to contribute. Nothing to do with Hoser is mad at me.. Honest... Quote

Guest Phantom Z Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 It was a week long poll. Since the results were so close I'm thinking about trying something a little different if I can get it all figured up right. Stay tuned Quote
OTMTRX Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Change it back.... go ride your quad....forget about it! Just a thought! :rolleyes: Quote
Guest Phantom Z Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 52.63% say leave it alone, but like I said the results were close enough I'm considering trying something that would give us a clear cut answer to the age old question Quote

Guest Phantom Z Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 ok, mine was just public that's ok i don't mind being the public example HELL i'm good at it! :secret: Slow down, I was referring to the fact I responded to you in private to almost an identical pm as the post you made. When I told him, "52.63% say leave it alone..." I said that to him in public :thumb: Quote
