New forum improvements

[Moniker]

I really miss the "New posts" option

It made life much easier at busy times to be able to "Mark all as read" and only see new posts each visit.

That is my feeling as well. I find I can't be bothered wading through a bunch of posts I have no interest in, over and over. I spent a lot less time on here yesterday and today.

Ooooo er somethings going on the little green dot has stopped pulsing and now I have green dots with a green halo. Looks like a dart board.

Ok, I've disabled the pulsing and got rid of the ring (sorry, I didn't notice that in chrome) - how is the performance looking now?

@Giverny. MUCH better, thank you.

PHEW. Took a shot in the dark with that one, glad it's resolved your issue. Can others please confirm whether this has resolved the scrolling & performance problems for them too?

Thank you scrolling now perfecto again and the lag seems to have disappeared too, yay now my fingers can keep up with my brain cell, just one minor fault left, there is a delay on the autocorrect/dictionary thingy, don't know if its related though.

Since that isn't a feature on the forum, that sounds more like it could be an issue with your PC.

Thanks I thought it might be any ideas for a fix gratefully received.

I must admit the pulsing was giving me a headache and sending my eyes loopy so thanks for disabling it.

Other than closing background tasks, there's not really much I can suggest.

Yeah it wasn't 100% crucial to the online indicator, so doesn't hurt too much to remove it.

Only got this site open so can't turn anything off.

Happy to see new posts back. Thanks!

"Recent posts" now seems to have disappeared off the main bar but appears lower down as an option if you select "New posts". But it only has 10 pages, what if you want to look further back? (remember that threads are sometimes not in the forum section you expect).

New posts doesn't show the post I just made above, but Recent posts does. Surely NP is just a subset of RP but now they are inconsistent.

And I'm still getting dumped on random occasions at the OP instead of the first unread post.

yea,that keeps happening to me to since yesterday

New posts doesn't always show a post that has been made?? You have to go to the appropriate board, i.e.,.Type 1 to see it.

But people post in the wrong boards all the time. I never look in the individual boards unless I start a thread. I just use Recent Posts.

 

[catherinecherub]

When I look at the headings now there is no Recent Posts only New Posts and Unanswered ones. I recently made a post so it must be recent
but it does not show as a new post.

@Giverny

Scrolling is better today but I am getting the delay in typing to seeing on screen problem, in that I'll be bashing the keys and it takes a few seconds before the text appears, and I'm not the fastest typist. any Ideas for a fix welcome.

Yes I was having the delayed typing to seems to have righted itself now though. Not the first time I have had this even before the upgrade
