Title: New - Show All Unread Posts
Post by: Tank on April 21, 2013, 04:48:27 PM
We finally have a new button "Show All Unread Posts".

Sometimes you just don't have enough time to read all of the posts when you hit "Show unread posts since last visit", and it's very annoying when you visit again later and hit the same button, but it's empty, or posts are missing!

This will solve that problem!  :)

Thought the link was always there, after you hit show unread posts and there weren't any and it went to the forum index, it then said "No unread topics found since your last visit. Click here to try all unread topics" which was clickable and went to all unread posts, assumed the duplication of unread topics was just a wording error.   :confused2:

Maybe I can't see for looking  :uneasy: but I can't find EITHER of them?

I have an "Unread Posts" thing in the grey header at the top of each section but no global New Posts type thing?  :confused1:

It's an addition to the grey header which now reads

Show all unread posts.
Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

The top line, all unread posts wasn't there before.

Eek!  Well, once you've clicked "Show all unread posts", look for "Mark all read" on the right hand side.  It will clear them and then you can start again.  :)
