alan_fincher Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 At the moment it is not obvious how having displayed threads with "unread content", I actually get to go to the first unread post, rtaher than the first post in the thread. Must be easy, so how, please? EDIT: Scrub that - I have found it - it is easy - just different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Schweizer Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Well you are two stages ahead of me Alan, I can't even find "unread content" and the thread titled "Site Update" does not have anything in it.

Where the headings for threads on the "unread content" page are listed, immediately to the right of the thread title is a big round dot. Hover over that, and it shows its purpose is to go to first unread post in that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerra Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Also if anybody knows how to get to the last post you read in a thread that would help as well. In the past it was a single click on the icon at the start of the heading, it doesn't seem to work (for me at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-M Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 May depend on the device and screen size you are using. On my tablet top right is three lines, click on there, then activity and under there was New Content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these says "time period". Click on these, an "number of days" is an option. Presumably set this to 1, (or any other number of your choice)?

Rob-M Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Not sure if it is mobile skin or just a responsive design that automatically displays based on device and browser configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLWP Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 But... 'unread content' isn't the same as 'view new content', is it? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you go to the page which is forum home (canalworld.net/forums) do you get a line like this at the top with boxes saying..... Browse, Activities, Leaderboard (then at the right hand side) Search and underneath that line one with boxes starting Forums, Chat, Member Map, etc, etc If so, what is the first thing that you get to see on the right hand of your screen, immediately below where the search box is displayed.

Richard What you actually got to see when you clicked "View NewContent" in the old software was configurable by the user - hence people getting confused because it worked different ways for different people. (I used to confuse myself by inadvertently changing my settings when I didn't mean to!). I assume "Unread content" is similar, but I haven't studied all the configuration options yet. Perhaps if people spell out what they could do before, and think they can't now, somene will explain how to make it happen?

David Schweizer Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the suggestions Alan, Unfortunately, I don't get any of those in Firefox.. not even a search box. I do get them in IE, and under them "unread content" and "mark as read" Edited February 23, 2017 by David Schweizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
