You will notice some changes in the coming weeks on the MOOT forum and site. Your patience is greatly appreciated!
Looks great! Thanks for all your hard work!
Some might notice that your avitar is missing, simply reload from the profile tab..
Thanks!
Suggestion,,, on the old forum site, there was a link back to the MOOT home page. Could that be added back to the new forums page?
I bookmark the forum page as that is where I go most, but still want to be able to get back to the home page with just a single click.
Rod.
Rod we are working on that. Thanks for the suggestion, greatly appreciated!
I'm having a hard time keeping up with what posts are new or not. On the main forum page it shows which board has unread posts but the topics don't show a difference. Am I missing a setting somewhere to correct it?
Should have a NEW graphic box next to the thread line that has new posts.
^---Would that be the two pages that are tilted? or something else? I just don't see anything about new msg.'s
No its when you one level up in just the tavern section for example, beside the thread topic title it will have a little BLUE graphic beside the topic title.
Found a nice little feature (thanks Jesse) up top by your avitar in Show Unread Posts Since Last Visit Click on it and it will show all posts and you can click on the little new graphic and it will take you to the new post in that thread topic. Kewl!
I have used the UNREAD POST link since inception but sometimes it doesn't appear to function as it should. ie., if I come back the same day and there are more new post it doesn't seem to find them. Only works maybe the first time during the day and than maybe it's just me.
Anyone...as we become acustomed to the new site keep us posted of how features work.
I clicked on the UNREAD POST and it brought nothing up yet there are replys to previous posts made today. Does the feature just work for NEW TOPICS?
Terry, did you log out when you left the site or just close the window?
I believe the unread post function is based upon when you actually log in/out. If you don't log out this forum assumes that you could have read the posts. But if you log out when you leave and log back in when you return then it has something to compare it to. (Hope that makes sense.)
The main problem we have with the unread posts not functioning like the old forum is that this forum software was designed for massive amounts of topics, like a tech support site. There's no way you could ever read all the unread threads on those sites so rather than keep track of reading individual posts this forum tracks whether you've viewed a whole board. I've requested posted a tech support request to see if someone has a modification but we may not get back that level of detail.
Unfortunately our old forum software hadn't been updated for about 5 years so it was becoming a security risk. This one has a lot of built-insecurity features that we need.

Makes perfect sense. That just may very well be the issue. I do not log out, I close the window than auto log-in when I return. Thanks for the explanation.
I use the refresh button........hehehehehehehehehehehe sorry couldnt resist!
Nice work Greg !!!!!
This site ROCKS
