Sometimes a thread will say "2 days", but since it is actually a little more than two days since it was touched, tracking will be turned off.</p> <p>All, please let me know if you see a thread that...<br /> - you have opened while being logged in<br /> - has "1 day" under the "LATEST" column<br /> - is not tracked (no grey or white rectangle around the number of replies) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-303134 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 06:39:03 +0000 yardshark 303134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm...well (this thread has made its way to page 4 as we speak), I think the thing that bugs me most is that the read/unread info is just not accurate. I guess I can live with unread threads after page 1 being white = green marked threads on page 1, but after that first page, many of the threads that are unmarked (white) I am sure that I DID read at least some of in the past few days.</p> <p>(Yes, I am logged in at all times while reading.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-302181 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:57:12 +0000 Aida 302181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just looked at the new setup closer and it seems to solve my problem; having 2 levels of gray plus the white for unread but older threads is good. Basically my brain was having trouble remembering what the last thing I read on Friday was; white = unread but no longer new, light gray = I read all these, dark grey = new things to read in this thread that I've already read, green = new new. Got it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-302006 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:31:50 +0000 Greg 302006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just to clarify my question to yardshark, Aida and medusa. I need to figure out how the current system *doesn't* meet your needs.</p> <p>Currently topics are tracked for 2 days.</p> <p>The one exception is that if you don't read a topic before it leaves the front page, then tracking for that topic is turned off, BUT as soon as you open that topic, it will turn tracking on again.</p> <p>Where does this approach break down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301930 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 09:22:20 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 301930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn about this. Although I can see the point of being able to track things for longer, one of the characteristics of this forum is that it's forward moving and threads are normally relatively short-lived. People bump them up often as necessary. When I first used the forum and there was no tracking I was disappointed. Now I'm relieved! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301917 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 06:45:12 +0000 Greg 301917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the indicators are a lot better on the left.</p> <p>Regarding the tracking time... Right now, any topic that you open will be tracked for at least two days, but if you don't open a topic before it drops off the front page then it won't be tracked unless someone adds a new reply and it returns to the front page.</p> <p>I need to understand what you'd like to track in this situation, because if there are any additional replies it will jump to the top spot and tracking will start. On the other hand, if there are no additional replies, then there is nothing to track anyway.</p> <p>I might be missing something though. Although I built this thing I don't use it nearly as much as you do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301844 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 03:50:58 +0000 Maya 301844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am not a good veteran then... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301774 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 01:55:33 +0000 Aida 301774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to second requesting that the post indicators work for two days or so; before this latest update mine seemed to go back about that far. Very helpful for those of us who can't check in on weekends </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301764 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 01:36:17 +0000 Mo 301764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greg, thanks for the reply. That makes sense. Who better than veterans to spot a spammer? Great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301748 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 01:12:54 +0000 Greg 301748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The spam button has actually been around since the update last September. It only appears for veteran members, who graciously help me by weeding out any spam that they see. After they hit the spam button the system sends me a notification with all the details. This feature has saved me an enormous amount of time. Thanks veterans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301737 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 00:53:05 +0000 Mo 301737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, where is this spam button? I like that option although it thankfully doesn't seem to happen too often here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301731 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 00:45:38 +0000 Maya 301731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I just noticed the new spam report button. This pleases the control freak in me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301699 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:40:47 +0000 Elly 301699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, Greg, you rock! Thanks for moving them back to the left. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301672 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:11:59 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 301672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I like the post indicators going back to the left. I was a bit thrown by it but was happy to try to get used to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301668 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:08:51 +0000 MsMary 301668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a man who's sensitive to our needs... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301665 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:06:41 +0000 Mo 301665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just noticed the post indicators moved back to the left - LOVE it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301643 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 22:38:08 +0000 chewyspaghetti 301643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I guess I'm the only one that it send into panic mode LOL<br /> I just hate change, so it freaked me out to see the board look different this morning. The features are all very nice- just unexpected (which always gives me a coronary). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301561 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 20:59:56 +0000 medusa 301561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greg, I LOVE that idea. Having the tracking go on a bit longer would be fantastic.</p> <p>Thanks for all your hard work, it's great to see new things added to the site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301543 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 20:30:14 +0000 Greg 301543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. :)</p> <p>yardshark, if you haven't read a post before it drops off the front page then the unread system doesn't track it. We need to have a cutoff somewhere because this info is tracked for every user separately.</p> <p>I see your point about the activity on the site though. Right now the front page only has posts that have been touched during the last hour or so. I will look into extending the limit to two pages so you have a day or so to open a post.</p> <p>Thanks for pointing that out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301476 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 18:36:26 +0000 kellygirl 301476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having fun too! It is like Christmas, Kim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301468 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 18:30:10 +0000 yardshark 301468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are fun! I wonder though why the new post indicators only work on the first page of the forum, especially because this is a very active site. </p> <p>Is it possible to get those to work at least a few pages deep, if not all the way through? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301335 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 15:13:05 +0000 Queen Mum 301335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. Waking up to new features is like Christmas morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-new-toys-thanks-greg#post-301263 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 12:20:07 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 301263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new tweaks. It's fun finding them. It makes it even more intuitive to use.<br /> Thank you! </p>
