Introducting: the new "New Posts" button

[froglips]

Based on some common sense browsing behavior, we've added a brand new button.

This button does the same thing you get with the "New Posts" link in the "navbar" at the top of each page:

So, you are reading a thread, you come to the last post. Hmmm, that was fun, I wonder what other new posts have been made while I was engrossed in this thread. Guess what button you can now click?

Now, "New Posts" is a bit misleading. It really means "show me any and all new threads or threads that have had new posts made since I last looked at them". "New Posts" is just easier to fit on a button!

Hope ya'll enjoy this

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Jim, I have already used the button twice!

Thanks Jim! You must have read my mind!:elvis:

I was thrilled to see this change. Now I don't have to scroll all the way back to the top to click "NEW POSTS".:icon_cheers

I forgot to give credit to our own Scott Miller (scottm). He came up with this idea.

Thanks Scott!

Very cool Jim! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Is there a button to push that will take you to the last post of a thread but still show all the other ones? :eusa_thin

Excellent new addition = thanks!

 

[froglips]

Well, sort of. If you are looking at a list of threads, you see a column called "Last Post" with this image:

next to the username of the person who last posted.

Click on that little button will open the thread and take you to that last post.

Very cool Jim! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Cool froggy :icon_thum
I jumped on that one immediately.
But font doesn't match very well . . . or maybe the button is a jpg, gif, png????

Neat feature!

Everyone's a critic

I had to create the button, there wasn't one available officially.

So, love it or hate it, its my artistic statement that expresses both my inner digestive difficulties and the first snowfall in a mountain stream.

I have to point out one more useful button that goes hand-in-hand with the New Posts one... the "View First Unread" button. This is near the top of a thread, in the left of the rust-colored titlebar on the first post. (It has to be on a thread where you haven't read everything.) This button zips you down to the first post that you haven't read yet, also indicated by a tiny "hot" reddish icon beside the datestamp of each post (or "cool" blue one if you have already seen it).

Use the "New Post" button in combination with the "View First Unread" button for maximum reading pleasure!

Dang! I've been looking for that and whaddaya know, it's right there! Thanks Steve!!

 

[SteveColes]

I think that is a great idea:icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum. I've started using it a lot.

But just in case there is also a "New Posts" button in flying menu. But I seem to rarely use it except for new posts.

I think I will turn of the flying menu all together and see if I like that better.
