fugtifino Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Does everything else work how it used to? Is there a way of blanking out emoticons and LOLs? <rubs hands menacingly> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugtifino Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Previous board used to default to the last page of a thread, do I need to change something in my profile so that it does the same here (I mean from the WWW front page)?

fugtifino Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 OK, on the front page of WWW, under the heading "People's Discussion Forum", there is a thread called "new forum hooray". When I click on this it takes me to page one, and I've got to click on page two to see the latest post. On the last board, clicking on the thread from the front page would have taken me to the page with the latest post. All looks tons better btw, nice job.

Dizzy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Fugs I never noticed it going to the last page of a topic from the main news page topic link.... but I guess it must have like you say as I never remember having to then click to the last page but you are right it must have done. In a way though that is daft as any new people accessing chats from the main new page would be reading from the end of a topic rather than the beginning... although in the case of the 20mph and immigration topics that was a good thing <smiles_without_using_emoticons_just_for_you> Your easiet way is to read the news then click the actual forum link on the left... that way you can read what you like and/or go straight to the last post of a topic bu pressing the little arrow on the right under 'last post info' Don't know if it is still the same but previously not all new/updated topics were shown on the main news page listing anyway so you may have missed some.

fugtifino Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The front page links still take me to the relevant threads on here Yes, Gary, they always did, but with a thread with multiple pages the old board always took you to the last page, this one takes you to the first. If there's anyone out there who understands what I'm saying and can express it in simpler terms, I'd be grateful if you could help out here.

I do understand what you are saying (now) but I actually think it is better that the link goes to the start of a thread so newcomers can follow and understand it.

Dizzy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I completely understand you Fugs and I've just been trying to see if there is a way to make it go to the last page.. not luck yet. Your easiest way though is to do the following. Ignore the main news page links (well not totally but you know what I mean) Use the red 'FORUM' link on the left of the main news page. When you go into the forum click 'View New Content' (its on the right near the little orange rss feed icon) It then opens a new window with just the content (topics) since your last visit (you can set this in your profile to either show new content since last visit OR all content you haven't yet read) From this new window click on the little topic post arrow on the right under 'post information' and it will take you to the last post/page for that topic. Sounds a bit long winded but it;s not and it;s really quick. Another good tip when you have 5 minutes to spare is to mark ALL forum sections are READ. That way when you next log in the folder icons are clear and it only shows newly updated topics. Did any of that make any sense as I'm rushing......

fugtifino Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks guys. Always used the index from the front page as it just seems the easiest way to keep an eye on recent activity. S'not a big deal, just have to change the way I do things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Change is as good as a rest.... or so they say <wink> At least by doing it the other way you wont miss out on some of the other chats that don't always appear on the front page... "yippee" I hear you say The new forums definately a lot better and nicer than the old one though eh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Dizzy I noticed you highlighted text in red on one of your replies, I can't see anywhere that this can be done perhaps you could explain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi Algy I noticed we seem to have lost that nice facility too (unless I just can't see it either) Anyway it's still possible and really easy to do as you can type the code in manually. So for example if you want your text Dizzy likes BLUE or and also RED you manually type the code around the text you want ot appear in colour eg Dizzy likes BLUE [ /quote] or and also RED[ /color] WITHOUT ANY SPACES as I had to put those so you could see the code and note the spelling COLOR (not colour) Give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 There is a little brush icon at the right hand side of the text sizing box. click that select colour and type away. :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Nice comments again from you Gary... I'm counting and making note you know. I usualy just type the BB code manually anyway so it's a habit. Errmm Evils (while gobby is not online) where is the little brush thingy as I still can't see it.

Dizzy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 It's ok I can see it now I've cleaned my monitor and it's just behind my fuzzy patch where my pixels are slightly fading. I really need to get a new monitor and some glasses as I thought it was just a little coloured squiggle to make the screen look nice. I shall update my profile in a sec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
