Thread: New posts

With the old format,when you answered a question or made a comment on an existing thread,what ever you wrote would be posted under new post right! That is not the case now or am i missing something? Thanks

You mean that you would see it when you hit "new posts" or that it is not displaying correctly in the thread?

Yes you would see it when you hit new posts in the old format(liked it that way)

I am going to guess that it is being marked read for your account, therefore it is not a new post for you. Will look at it.

When we answered a new post with the old format, your post would would show up in the new post page, and now when you answer a new post question your answer get filed under a forum section instead of being posted on the new post page,kinda liked the old way,any thoughts?? thanks

Is this a different question than the one you asked yesterday? http://straightrazorplace.com/site-h...-question.html

After you read the last post in a thread, the thread doesn't show up in new posts anymore.
When you reply to a thread you see your new post in the thread; as such it is not a new post anymore.
That behavior was not changed by the upgrade. I wonder if you're used to using "today's posts" instead of "new posts"?

edit: We just added "Today's Posts" to the bottom of the quick links menu. Try that out and see if you like it better.

so as soon as i look at the NEW POSTS and then click onto said post,and maybe make a comment or not,and then click back to the NEW POST its gone!! Back in the day,the new posts would just stack upon one another and moved down the page as NEW POSTS were made. Now i have to write down with pen and paper the post so that i can remember it so i can find it in the bowels of whatever forum it gets placed in.Maybe this computer stuff i just over my head ! Sorry for the rant.

I believe new posts now only shows unread posts, so if you click New Posts from a thread, that thread will no longer be displayed. You can use the back button, though.

Three threads on the exact same thing seem redundant, so i'm merging them all together.

I don't think I have any better way to explain is than what's already been said - once you visit a thread it is not new anymore until there are new posts, therefore it doesn't show in the 'new posts' list. Same thing for the threads you just posted in - you were just there, so once you leave it it's not counted new again until there is an actual new information in it.

I don't know how the old forum behaved, and if it was buggy in this respect, but the current is the correct behavior, so we're not changing it.

The way Dylan describes it is the way it has always worked for me unless I hit the 'back' button rather than "new posts". OTOH, a gun forum I participate in, The Firing Line Forums behaves the way you describe. Never on SRP though. Running Linux Mint with Mozilla Firefox.
