Today's Posts

Lunchbag, you're quite right about the blue icon. See the explanation of the different colours at the bottom of the main page.

   

If you open the forum with new posts, any thread containing new posts will display in bold and will have a green, right-pointing arrow at the start of the thread title to show there are new posts. Threads with new posts will also be sorted to the top of the page.

Pekingduck, I'm still looking at your request. There's no easy fix in the forum software, but it may not be as complex to resolve as I first thought.

Meanwhile, if you want to find all the threads that have been either added or updated in the time since you last logged in, the quickest way I can find is:

1. Go to the Forum's search page;
   
2. In the 'Search options' box on the right side of the page, select the period for which you want to recover posts (see picture below);
   
3. press the 'Search' button. You do not need to use a search term for this to work.
   

   

• At the bottom right of the screen in 'Display Options', 'Show Results as' threads to generate a list of threads that have been added or updated. Any threads that contain a post less than a week old and that you haven't read will be highlighted — see the picture above.
  
• Change 'Show Results as' to 'posts' you'll get a list of every post made in the period you selected. If you know what thread you're looking for and who made the post you're interested in, that may be a better option, but it will generate a lot more results and will not highlight new posts.
  

Hope at least some of that helps.
