I miss the old main page :(

[Annie]

I have a request for the new forum but I don't know if it's possible. So I'm throwing the idea out just in case :D

With the new format, I am missing SO many posts and threads. What happens is that sometimes I have a couple minutes to log on...I have time to check one post but I see so many new threads or post. When I come back (if I had to leave) they are all gone.

On the old main page, they were all appearing in the order they were posted. If I had log on earlier for a minute, the post I didn't have time to view were not in bold character anymore but they were still there in the right order.

I feel so lost since that page is gone :( Please make it like home again!!! :)

i know what you mean Annie............i also miss the "shout" section...........that was great cuz you didnt have to start a new post...........just say what you were thinking at the time.......or work off of what someone else said

Is it possible maybe to configure the "Whats new" section be be based on time, say threads with posts submitted within the last "X" days/hours instead of the most recent posts you haven't seen (which it seems to be what it is now)?

Just a thoughts and another "Thanks" to Di for all the hard work!

I was just thinking the same thing. Even the main page eye candy is gone.

[Annie]

Yep! A big big thanks to Diana who's going through all the trouble of upgrading the website. I can't even beggin to imagine how much work that must be. You are a brave woman Di!!! YOU ROCK!!!! :yes:

For a quick fix to the problem, this is what I've done.
-Go to the "what's new tab"
-Once the page is loaded, click on "mark forums read"
-Once loaded, click on "what's new" again
-Then a message will come up that says
"Sorry, there are no new posts to view.

You may search for posts updated during the previous 24 hours, here"

-Right click on the here link, and click bookmark link

This will take you to the most previous posts for the past 24 hours
Hope this helps

I know John....thanks, but it's a lot of hassle instead of having it there. When you do that, and click a post, then you have to start all over again and most of the time, I just don't have the time!!! lol

[foundrymutt]

I know Annie, I miss the main page as well, this is just how I have managed, lol.

[Annie]

Hahaha Thanks a lot John :) I appreciate your help :hug:

Definately a few more mouse clicks than the Old School website.

I worry that there are only so many clicks in my finger before it blows out.

Thanks for looking into it Di.
