New Software: Questions, Comments and Concerns

Looking good!!!!

OK, for those of you who want to jump to the first unread post...

In a section (like Pre-HOF Groups) there are a list of subjects.

Some of those subjects will have a "New" button next to the subject name, ex:

Pre-HOF November 2018 Group New

That "New" image not only tells you that there are new messages under that subject, it is actually a link that will jump you to your first unread message in the subject if you click on it.

I am looking to see if there is some way to specify as a target in the URL (for people who want to bookmark links so that they always jump to whatever is new).

This is weird enough that it took me a couple of iterations to realize what I was seeing.

The following is an example of the a URL that links to the last read post in a topic:

        http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?topic=58.msg847#new

The number '58' there is the topic number.  No matter what topic number you're talking about, appending ".msg847#new" to the topic number will take you to the first unread post in the topic.

For example - the URL to come to the first post in this topic is:

        http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?topic=25.0

If you change the ".0" at the end of the URL to ".msg847#new", ex:

        http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?topic=25.msg847#new

... you will have a URL that you can bookmark, and which will always take you to the first unread post in this topic.

this is awesome been trying to figure this out too

This isn’t the best but will suffice until we ie the admods can breathe and worry about the small stuff

The Avatars look blurred... The resolution is scaled down to a lot lesser than it was before. Can we fix that? Thanks!
