Request for a forum feature Hi All admins, I am a contributer to a number of topic related forums. While doing so, I would like to see activity on the forum by having a subforum that shows the activity as in 'active threads'. Some other forums I work with do have that option. In fact is is a 'Last Post on top" thread that includes (links to) referenced posts from all subfora. Any chance to build this ?

I tried Firefox too, and same thing.

When I hover over the flag, the flag AND the Thread Title change color at the same time, and the browser thinks it is a picture (right-click will "copy image"), but there is no ,gotonewpost anywhere.]]> RRuser Administration, Announcements, Policy Wed, 29 Jul 2015 06:48:39 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,539047#msg-539047 Re: Request for a forum feature https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,539047#msg-539047

Hovering over the Flag, and then hovering over the Thread Title, shows the same link, which is to go to the first post of the first page.

There should be a ",gotonewpost" at the end of the link when hovering over the red flag.
This is what does the MAGIC!]]> rhmorrison Administration, Announcements, Policy Wed, 29 Jul 2015 03:20:57 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,538927#msg-538927 Re: Request for a forum feature https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,538927#msg-538927

... many other forums have a "Go to first new post" button, but I don't see it here. There is only a "New" indicator, which does the same as clicking on the thread link: it takes you to the first post of the thread.

Is there a way to go to the first new/unread post?]]> RRuser Administration, Announcements, Policy Sun, 31 May 2015 15:17:17 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,479906#msg-479906 Re: Request for a forum feature https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,479906#msg-479906 Traumflug Administration, Announcements, Policy Fri, 06 Mar 2015 05:28:39 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,479576#msg-479576 Re: Request for a forum feature https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,479576#msg-479576

I sort of guessed this might be the case, but given I wasn't hearing anything of the sort back, it's hard to know what was the bottleneck. :D

I'm happy to donate some time if required, but also equally happy to give details on installing these modules and what needs to be done.

I'll come up with a guide on what needs to be done and get back to you. Might take a few days simply due to my personal schedule.

From memory, the Recent Posts module should just be an unpack and put it in the right directory process, while the Ignore Forums module requires you also to edit the Emerald template (not hard, tho always advisable to keep a backup of the original templates, as well as the changes just in case).

BTW: Happy to move this to email if required. The email associated to this account is my personal email so feel free to ping me that way, or in a PM.]]> Cefiar Administration, Announcements, Policy Fri, 19 Dec 2014 00:07:36 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,445393#msg-445393 Re: Request for a forum feature https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,445393#msg-445393
I am willing to try to implement these features, but I have never done it before. I have access to the server, but the last time I logged in to make a few innocent changes, I ended up bringing down the entire wiki for a short period of time. For this reason I am somewhat hesitant to go mucking about on the server without proper supervision.

Please understand that many of the active admins are in a similar situation as my own: we are perfectly willing to implement new features, but lack the necessary skills. To be honest, as an "admin" my primary duties are simply deleting spam and trying to keep the peace.

Would you be willing to donate some of your time to implement this? I cannot speak for all the admins, but you can probably get server access if you just ask for it.

Alternatively, could you post instructions in this thread explaining how to install these modules that are simple enough that a willing-but-inexperienced admin such as myself could follow them?]]> MattMoses Administration, Announcements, Policy Thu, 18 Dec 2014 22:32:47 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,445346#msg-445346 Re: Request for a forum feature https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,445346#msg-445346

Do you suggest that someone devellops this based on your work ?
When I follow your link, I see discussions on the feature. I don't see the feature implemented ...

I've provided known working code for both features for the Phorum software in use.

Or should I chalk this up as case of putting off people with an excuse, and then going silent to ignore the issue when the goods are produced?

PS: I get that people are busy. If people are busy that's fine and dandy. But all too often I see things vanish from the radar and unless someone pokes they never get used or done. Sometimes this is just due to there being so much to do, but sometimes people just actively drop things, which is just plain annoying.]]> Cefiar Administration, Announcements, Policy Tue, 16 Dec 2014 03:19:28 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,437853#msg-437853 Re: Request for a forum feature https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?33,427079,437853#msg-437853 www.phorum.org]

Can we get the Ignore Foums module for Phorum installed, so that users can then stop getting the "new" notifications on the forums they don't want to look at??
