NEW POSTS

Posts

Is there a function on this site that displays all the new posts since your last visit, instead of having to go into each board separately to see? If not, how come?
Also, to add to this a bit, how come when you go to a different PC and log on, everything you've read on your own PC is marked as NEW again? It's kinda annoying.

1) Because I never made that.
2) The reason for that is because of the way the forum system marks viewed topics. On most forum systems, it keeps track of every topic every user has read which I didn't really feel was worth doing at the time.

i don't really mind read topics not carrying over to other pcs. i like to think i remember stuff well enough that it isn't really an issue. it's not enough of an annoyance to merit a huge overhaul or whatever.
I think a new topic feature would add a lot to the site. Whenever i browse forums, its what i use 99% of the time, because it mainstreams all topics into one handy tool.

I remember stuff well enough too, the problem is that the entire BOARD is marked as new, so I click it expecting something new but find all topics I already read before. (Which are also marked as new).

But I can live with that if it's not going to be changed. It's just a minor time waster.
