Recent posts feature.
« on: May 15, 2014, 05:04:10 PM »
The "Recent Posts" feature of the forum is useless. It only holds ten posts. You'd have to check the forum every two hours for it to be useful because it fills up fast.

Why not have it hold all the recent posts or at least 20 or 30 so we don't have to go through each category every time looking for recent posts and replies?

What I see is also ten posts, but at the top left side (above first post) and bottom (after 10th post) it says "pages" with 1 through 10.  So after you read the first ten posts, you click on 2 and read the next ten, etc.   So for me at least it shows the 100 most recent posts.

Though I wish there was some way to group posts within the same thread. Even with ten pages of "recent" history, sometimes topics get knocked off just because I single thread explodes.

That's funny, mine doesn't have the pages like that. It just shows ten and that's it.

I just noticed, up in the Forum Stats area it says"view the most recent Posts" and there I think it shows them all, but the problem there is that it shows the entire post instead of just the tittle which makes it difficult to skim through quickly, so that's not very useful either.

I see what you mean--down at the bottom of the page there's a "recent posts" with just ten and they just have the titles and what category they're in. 


I'd never even noticed that.  I was talking about what you just found, that has 10 pages of recent posts, and each shows the whole message (which I like, because it's the only way I read standupzone).   I wouldn't want to have that altered to remove the whole messages, but I see how having more than 10 on the list that are just titles would be nice.

Consider the list at the bottom of all pages a quick snapshot of the most recent activity.  The 4 "Recent" options on the top menu are more expansive and offer many options that are specific to you as a user when you are logged in.

That works.

I hit "Recent" at the top menu and then "Unread Posts" and it shows them all.

Thanks
