Couple of suggestions

[Brad]

Hey expanda.

couple of items I have thought about are:

1. At the bottom of threads there is a link to go back to the top of the page. Is it possible to have amother link for the what's new button? Typically I just use the what's new button more than anything else. But in order to move from one thread to the next you first have to get to the bottom of a thread, press the top link and then press the what's new button. Having the what's new at the button removes a step.

2. Is there a way to save a setting against a user so that when you click on a thread it automatically takes you directly to the last read post? Tapatalk does this and it is fantastic.

Brad, I do not use link to the top of the page, I just use the windows button at the top left corner and that takes me back to the list of new posts and you just click on the next.

When I click on a new post it automatically takes me to the first unread post in the thread.

I hope this makes sense.

Hmmm..... Is this just an iPad thing.
Definitely do not have a windows button available.

Hi Brad thanks for your feedback it is valued and appreciated!!!

First my responses -

1) Would in the footer where it says "Navigation Links" be suitable?

2) When accessing a thread non tapatalk i.e a desktop or laptop it automatically takes you to the last post you have not read . So it should be doing this already by default!!!

Let me know if its not doing what it is supposed to so I can try and debug and if the location suggested helps?

Cheers again!

Yes in the navigation links would work.

I will have another look at going to last unread because I think it may be only for some threads. So let me observe a bit more and get back to you.

No problem, the software tracks what thread you have gone to and what post you read till.

It should then by default when you open the thread drop you to the last one you read !

I have added the link in the footer to what's new.

I just thought I would explain how it works which as follows -

If you are looking at a forum and the thread title is bold in colour it means there is a new unread post and it will take you to where this point is in the thread automatically.

If you are looking at a forum and the title is not bold it means there is no unread posts so it takesyou to the beginning of the thread not the end.

Hope this makes sense.

You will also notice posts that have an unread comment will also have a little blue dot next to them in the thread listing this as mentioned should be the bold threads and is just another way of identifying them.

I have an iPad and I am always directed to the last unread post.

Hi Brad. Not iPad (I don't own one), it's just Windows on a laptop. Here is a screenshot.

Ahh yes I know what you mean and the same thing is available on the iPad. But now the link is there it is so much faster.

Hey expanda I am experiencing something else on the site now. Typing response is slow.
All other apps and other sites respond to the typing way faster.

Rebooted the device?

 

[Brad]

Have rebooted.... Has made all the difference.
