Forum Features

Running with BobT's suggestion, here's a thread for forum features that you might not have noticed. If you see something you like, mention it here for the rest of the gang to check out. I'll start-

--GREAT FEATURE--

I see that GTK has turned on the "view first unread" feature for example. If you've previously read a portion of a thread, and there have been new posts since you've left the thread, when you re-enter the thread there is a small box with a checkmark at the top left hand side, right under the "post reply" button. Clicking this checkmark will take you to the first unread post in the thread, making it very easy to jump to where you left off the last time you were there. This is great when a thread gets very long over time.

Today's Posts bring back the list of all posts updated today.

This is kinda like buying a brand new loaded luxoBarge.

Bells and whistles everywhere.

I haven't found the bar in the back like a Rolls Canhardly would have

I think what I like most on this new format is when using multiple computers. Before, the post that I had read on my computer at work would be shown as "New" posts on my home computer, because I hadn't viewed them yet on that 'puter. So I'd have to tru to remember which ones I had already read, or just quickly go through them all to be sure I didn't miss one.

Now, once I'm logged in it remembers ME, not my computer. The posts I've read here at work show the same once I"m at home. I love it.

Great change GTK.
