New posts on the forum

[chykensa]

Apologies to the mods if this is the wrong place to post this, but I've just realised that by looking at the whole forum rather than hitting the 'New Posts' button at the top reveals a whole lot more new posts than I was aware of.
On other fora that I subscribe to the 'Unread Posts' button can reveal many pages of new posts in the usual page format. Why not on this forum?
Is there any way that the Proboards can be tweaked to allow this to happen here too, or is it a restriction of the software?
I don't know much about how forum software works, and I'm sorry in advance if this has already been addressed elsewhere!

Sorry, this version of proboards can't be tweaked to show any more new posts

The new version, which is due out soon, will be better

Hope you don't mind, Chykensa, but i'll move this topic to forum feedback

Chykensa, Karma is right. There is sadly no way on Proboards of making the New Topics button show all new topics. However, you can use the "100 newest posts" facility in the info centre at the bottom of the home page. But it really is best to use the forum via the home page & seeing which boards/categories have been updated.

This issue has been brought up several times & as Karma says, that when Proboards launch the upcoming V5 the option will be there to view all updated threads since last visit.

While on the subject.... on MSE you can alter a post up to about a minute after posting and it won't show you have modified it.
Is there any way this can be done here?

I only ask because on about all of my postings, I notice I have spelt something wrong, or dropped a clanger in a big way , so I have to modify it.

Again, not at the moment Womble, though I'm hoping this will also be a feature of the newProboards V5.

All I've been able to test so far on V5 is the editor (&it's looking good ) but until they fully release the beta zone to all proboards admin's, I can't test out any of the new plug ins/coding.

Thanks Chrissie, I was afraid it would be a software issue, nothing more. Let's see what v5 can offer - any idea when it's due for beta release?

[alvoram]

chykensa, the pro boards mobile app available for android, and iphone allows this, it loads up on a page that shows you all threads with posts that you haven't seen yet, it's fantastic.

[Chrissie]

That's so good to know Alvo, thank you

Chy, PB V% has been in beta mode for quite some time & limited beta zone in the last few days . but mainly due to not being a prolific poster on PB support, I've not been invited to take part in the betazone yet

The full V5 is meant to be launched before the end of the year & I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will give admin of all proboards a fair bit of time to play with 7 get used to the totally new set up before they move all forums to the new platform.
