How do I see recent posts ?
« on: March 30, 2009, 07:34:52 AM »
Read a post this morning and was going to reply to it but had to rush off.
came back and can't find it easily. All I can see is unread posts which doesn't apply and the home page.
If there has been another post in the same forum this shows as the last post, on the HMEM group that used the same sotwate I see a recent post list on the left of the screen.
Has this list got that option? I don't have time to trawl though all the forums looking for one post.

JS.

Hey John,

I need to find the 'add on' to do what you are asking. There is a link down below that Darren has pointed out until I find the add on. I will get to it this week.

Ok. I think I added one. Tell me if you see it.

I see it on the upper left of the screen.

Personally I don't like it there because now any pictures that are posted might get squished and then you'll get a scroll bar at the bottom of the post that you need to move to see the whole pictre.

Could what you added be placed at the bottom of the screen?

I knew there was a reason I didn't install it in the beginning.

We may just have to stick with the link at the bottom.

Sorry but I don't like it either, makes the page too busy. The bottom one is fine Eric, does the job.  :dremel:

John,

If you ever have to do that agin try marking the thread "unread" located in the upper right hand of the thread. It'll mark that thread "UNREAD" so when you come back it should be easier to find since it will be marked "NEW".
