Add a button to the Header file

Any way we can get you to add view new posts to the Header file so we can see new post no matter where we are on the site?

Ryan,

Click on the "portal" and the newest postings will scroll down on your left side of the screen.

Welcome to the forum.

I guess I am just a PITA and used to seeing "New Posts" lol.

Don't worry, most of the guy's and gal's on here are a PITA. That is why they got banned from JKF.

So you'll fit right in.

Awesome...If ya'll ever need any help with the website let me know, I've been running my own website forum (phpBB and vBulletin) for a couple years.

I'm going to agree with the Newbie- we need a "new posts" button right up top!

None of this going to the portal and watching the slow scroll

none of this clicking on "home" then clicking on "view posts since last visit"

Damnit- we deserve much quicker! We DESERVE a "new posts" button.

Crux- get off your ass and fix this!!!


And hey- it was the newb's idea, so don't take it out on me! :hiding:

If you pm the header.html file I can edit it to include the "New Posts" for authenticated users. Or I can post it up here and you can add it.

Try something like this:

Spoiler:

I made a quick little icon you can try as well.

Yo Crux! Are you listening?

Any update?

i would rather have an unread posts button. sometimes as i am reading the new posts, my browser decides that i have left and returned and says "no new posts"

x2 on this one. sometimes i get a call and by the time i come back i'm logged out and no more highlighted posts that i haven't read.

That happens to me when I surf using my iPhone - every time that I post a reply to one of the new posts. If I use the back button it is ok.

Never happens when I use the laptop.


My vote is a New Posts button.

Well unfortunately this template does not have a provision for this. I'll delve deeper, but I think this is it folks.

Since it is hosted for free they won't let you modify the template? It will be in the Overall_Header.html file

funny that this thread popped up because what happens to me...and it's so annoying...is that as I'm working, I usually have the "new posts since last visit" posts up. BUT...if you don't read them too quickly, all the listings disappear after you read one and hit "back"...! ugh... Lot a times, I can only read one post and then am off doing something for work and come back later...that's when I lose the new postings list.

Just one of those annoying things I guess...IF a button for new posts could be added, it would be great. if not - oh well...

Today's active topics


This will give you all active topics for the day. Comes in handy sometimes. It is at the bottom of the home page

You can just change the newposts to activetopics

But this is so much easier (top right of the home page): View Posts since last visit

for me the active posts for today are not on the same 24hr cycle of midnight to midnight. so i will check them in the evening and i only get the posts from 2pm or so.

True, but if you log off and lose them you can get them back with the active posts.

The active posts one seems to cycle in the afternoon. Can it cycle at midnight instead?
