junior Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 A few months ago someone introduced to me the 'View New Content' function and it's totally changed (for the better) the way I use and view the forum after 10+ years of selecting individual sub-forums and posts. On another forum I use (football related) there is notifications. So if I post on a thread, and then someone quotes or replies to my post, when I next log in or change to a new page, I get a little red dot at the top of the page with a number in the dot showing how many notifications I've got. If I click the red dot, it will then take me to that notification. So I know if someone has replied to me without just having to fall upon that reply by chance, or remember to check back into a certain topic to see if anyone interacted with me. Is there a function like that on this forum, and if so how do I turn it on and use it? Should add that I only use the forum via Android on my phone.
IanM Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 Yes it definitely is possible but, to me anyway, it always seems a bit hit and miss as in it either throws a load of notifications your way or none at all. However I forget how to work it. If you like view new content just wait until you work out how to customise it! Sorry for not being too helpful.
Rod Stewart Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 (edited) Its the little red circle in the attached (of my screen). You can set up what is alerted in the settings menu under your profile,if it isn't already set up. Edited January 27 by Rod Stewart
