Questions regarding the usage of forum software: how to ...

Post by mpscholz »

There should be thread/discussion were people can drop questions regarding the usage of the various features of the forum software (and ideally getting them answered by other users in the know), shouldn't it?

So I start with dropping a first question:
Is there a way to see a list of all unread posts since one's last visit?

I usually use such a feature on other forums and find it very helpful there (in fact, it's usually my point of entry).

I looked and have not seen such an option in the configuration tabs.

Generally, I think topics of this sort belong in the Site Comments/Complaints/Suggestions forum. Sound good? I will see if I can move this topic there.

I probably should have left a "shadow copy" in the Open Discussion forum. This is all very new to me... :)

Actually, I detected the "View new posts" link on top of the Board index; that will do the job.
