Buttons Missing?

[Lisa]

Is it me ...or have the "go to last unread" buttons disappeared?

[Mango04]

Not just you. It's also showing me that I've read a whole bunch of threads I haven't looked at yet (all of the black folders are faded). Weird.

[Lisa]

Thanks Mango.

They most certainly are behaving strangely. Guess Scott needs new ink.

Things seem normal to me. It could be sensitive to the browser you use. I use Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.7.

I'm having the same problem, Lisa.

[psawyer]

I just came back, and of three pages of threads shown by "View New Posts" there seem to be nine that don't have the button, even though the time of the last post is this morning and I haven't been here since yesterday.

For me, the only folders that are showing up as unread are the hot topics. Everything else has been greyed out, whether I've read them or not.

It is showing up this way in both Safari and Firefox.

Having the same problem here- greyed out folders, even though I haven't read the new posts. I use Firefox.

My "go to last unread" buttons are also missing, both at home and at work. We use MS Internet Explorer and neither home nor work has had any kind of an upgrade lately.

'Tis a bit annoying. I relied heavily on the "last unread" button.

I'm having the same problem here - both at home and at work, starting on Friday.

All that . . .

and it says my last visit was on Friday. Sorry to say, I have no life and have been on many times since then.

[psawyer]

My last visit is shown as October 11 (Thursday) at 10:45 pm EDT. I have been and gone many, many times since, using two different computers for access. Sometimes it has lagged, but if I switched to the other computer it always caught up. I just reconnected from my laptop; my previous use was about 2 hours ago on the desktop. In the past it would say my last activity was when I last clicked from the other machine. It is still stuck on Thursday night. 10:45 is probably accurate as the last time I was online that evening.

FWIW.

[wowzer]

Same here I wondered what was going on.

[2Boys4Me]

Huh. When I clicked on "view new posts" this time to see if there had been any more responses to this topic, I couldn't see it. (It's possible my glasses need cleaning ) Then when I clicked on the sub-forum Board/forum technical help all the topics in there had the "view last unread" tab on them.

I'm confused.

[Canadian Karen]

I'm having the same problems Lisa, I use IE.

[jnclelland]

Same here. Here's my best guess: it looks like I *do* have the button for threads that I've looked at previously, but not for any others. So maybe someone decided that we don't need that button if we've never looked at the thread before? Still, I'd rather have them back.

Hi Everyone,

I did upgrade on Friday, and there are some issues with the new version. The Mark Read posts should not be fixed...let me know if it isn't. Also, the rest should be fixed shortly...sorry!

Take care,

Scott

[Lisa]

Thanks Scott. The "last unread" buttons are back. Lisa is happy!

[jerseyangel]

Thanks Scott. The "last unread" buttons are back. Lisa is happy!

So am I I confuse easily.....

I still don't have the "view last unread" buttons on the "view new posts" page. I guess some of you have it back (Momma Goose and jerseyangel)? Or should I only be able to "view last unread" from the topic category? I do have that ability. I just like the "view new posts" to catch up quickly.

Linda,

I do have the 'last unread' buttons on the 'view new post' page back. They appeared about 2 days or so ago. I know Scott upgraded the board over last weekend.

I don't know why you still can't see them--maybe the upgrade isn't complete? I wish I knew more about how this all works!

If it keeps up, you could email Scott.

I still don't have the last unread buttons, and it says the last time I visitied was the 12th. I have been here several times. It is driving me nuts!!

My buttons are still missing too.

This is an interesting question to me.

I find this board to be very un-user friendly because I can't tell which posts I've read and which I haven't. I always click on View New Posts because that helps me narrow it down, but then I click on a topic that I think I've read and maybe have posted to, I have to scroll through all the posts to see if I've read them and guess which ones are new. Sometimes I jump to the last message and work my way backwards. When there are pages and pages of posts, it takes a long time.

This posting indicates that there is a second way to narrow down my search? That there is a button I can push that will take me to the postings within a topic that I haven't seen yet?

I can't find a button that says "go to last unread." All I see is the "Last post by" button.

That would be wonderful and I wouldn't find the functionality of this board so user-challenging.

[Michi8]

I have the "View New Posts" link, and it will take me to new posts, however it's now going on 15 pages and growing everyday! As well, the board is showing that I've read messages at first, but then revert to unread regardless of whether there have been new posts or not. Seems there's still some bugs to work out!
