Something That Really Annoys Me!

[Frances03]

Sometimes, I cannot get here to read the posts for a few days. When I click on new content, it nicely brings up all the posts since my last visit. However, sometimes there are 6 or 7 pages and I dont have time to glance thru them all in one sitting. Here's where I get annoyed! After a certain amount of time, say 1 hour, it no longer shows me the new content that I was skimming thru, and instead "resets" itself so that I am only seeing the new content since my CURRENT visit. Then I lose all those posts that I was skimming thru and I have no idea what I missed. I dont like it.

Go into the topic index page, and at the bottom on the left, it says "Active Content for Last 24 hours" (I just did that) and all the posts will come up

Okay I will try that. At least that gets me the last 24 hours worth, but the rest of the things I will have to hunt through on my own I guess. I still wish it would let me finish reading the "new content" until I'm finished!

I used to be like McPhena, all grouchy about losing the new posts list. But no more.

I use Firefox, and right click open in new tab for each topic. If there are lots of pages I will open the 2nd or 3rd "New content" page listing in a new window also. You are right, unless you open them within a short time they do time out and disappear. So I open all the threads in new tabs and then start reading them.

Now life is just a bowl of cherries. With pits but hey, who's complaining?

Hey, that's a good idea! I'll just do that from now on, thanks! See, I knew I would get a solution if I posted, now I can quit being annoyed

I follow the threads that I'm interested in. I set up my "settings" so that I get an email from the administrators or forum anytime a new post is made on a thread I'm participating in or following. Now granted, sometimes I'll get 45 emails but I can delete the email when I've read it or save it if I don't have time to go to the thread then. It also allows me to save particularly helpful posts in my Celiac Forum email folder.
