<-------------- Note the little `speech' markers so you can find where you left off in the thread. Is it just me or are these new?

Isn't it easier just to jump to the last read post by clicking on the lil arrow at the side of the thread title on the Main Page?

Does it do the same thing?!

Or at the top, where it says "View first unread"!

OP: you are pointing at something, but I see nothing, so I don't know what this thread is about!

Oh yeah, never noticed that one either. Only thing is, sometimes it doesn't update my last time online and ends up taking me back to the time before that - even if I've posted again after.. if that makes sense

At the mo, it says my last time online was 13.10 when actually I came on at 4-5pm logged off then came back again.. weird eh!

Just next to the time of your last post on each thread there is a lil speech bubble

... above the posters name!

Milky Joe · 11-05-2007, 18:41

They've always been there, just with a different picture (think it was some files).

Ah, thanks. It's on the line above, next to 'Today'.

I click on the bubble and it says 'Old'.

*Em* · 11-05-2007, 18:58

Hmm, these have the same time delay, I clicked out of Internet Explorer for 20 mins came back on and it's still saying last active at 13.10 and says my own posts are 'unread'

I must've typed with my eyes shut

God, they're insensitive b***ards at DS!

oulandy · 11-05-2007, 21:52

Language! Tsk.

I point on your last post and it says 'Unread', which is quite untrue!!

whoever,hey · 11-05-2007, 21:57

With all these small edits to the forum every day, i'd love some before and after screenshots. Mods, can we have some before and after when your finished?

No, it's supposed to say "Undead".

alias alias · 11-05-2007, 22:12

i want the old look back it looks kind of childish now

and i think if you don't put in a reason for editing the edited at bar douse not come up and that looks as bad as a sig

swingaleg · 11-05-2007, 22:14

It'd be handy if they could apply this technology to the Public Library...........save a lot of time if there was a bubble on every book saying 'read' or 'unread'...........

I've just used the edit function for the first time* and put 'Spangles Were Good'...........but then, I'm a rebel.......

*.......I mean 'for the first time' since we had it before and it disappeared a couple of years ago.

I may be missing something very obvious here, (knowing me it's probably in written in fluorescent letters somewhere), but was there ever an announcement or info. regarding what actual admin. changes, new additions. had been made, after the overhaul last weekend? Ta.

Not quite fluorescent but yeah, there was a post made at the top of the Main Page, I think it was titled 'Welcome Back'.

Which isn't much use at indicating changes in functions to read about.
