imagist Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yes I use it all the time and have it bookmarked as my main access. It's much better than the SD forum where you have to scroll to the top of the thread, then back out to the main subsection using the mouse to register that you've read the thread, whereas on jwsound it registers that you've read it by simply opening it and returning with a keyboard shortcut, in my case backspace.

Matt Mayer Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Wouldn't even know what the forums look like without seeing it in "unread since last visit" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petros Kolyvas Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I too have it bookmarked as my main portal into this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 guess I'm the one who just uses the home page, and the distinct "new posts" icons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDirckze Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 guess I'm the one who just uses the home page, and the distinct "new posts" icon Not the only one... but now I might have to see what all the 'show new posts' hype is about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Jeff, what prompts the question? Not that I need to know. In my search for a new alternative to this SMF based forum site, I have found a really good full-featured site platform (which I invited everyone who might be interested to look into). The one feature that it is lacking, however, is a solid equivalent to the "Show Unread posts since last visit" that we have here. I wanted to get an assessment of how people are using this feature --- I think I got my answer. I will continue to explore the possibility of incorporating that sort of feature in any new site I might be looking into for us. - Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 We're all adults here (mostly). If this feature was not available, it would not ruin my experience.

soundwiz Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I would like to know how people are using the feature on this forum "Show Unread Posts since last visit". Hi I am using it all the time Hari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 We're all adults here (mostly). If this feature was not available, it would not ruin my experience. You might be right, but I suspect participation would drop off if it became harder to find new posts. I visit a couple forums that run on vBulletin. One of those gets a lot of traffic (say, 3000 posts per day...I don't even bother with most threads). The interface is a bit less friendly than what Jeff's set up here with SMF. But I could live with it. Good luck Jeff. Let me know how I can help with the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
