I miss the "Aggregrated Forum" link from the other site already.

The way it shows threads with activity in order makes it much easier to get an overview of posts made since last visit

I find the recent posts not so clear for the forum [but in turn very helpful for seeing site activity overall]

Would it be possible to create something similar here ?

Comments

Please try the New Post page for a while, I find it more functional than the old aggregrated system. The "My recent post" tab is particularly useful (the old system did not have this). It is similar to DC "Show new replies to your posts" which I always use.

Also, Edits of the original forum posts are marked as so, and brought to the top, so no need for post like: "I've edited my previous post". This does not work for replies however (perhaps, I'll be able to fix this...)

p.s. I don't think that it can be improved

I find the "New Posts" list MUCH more useful than the old aggregated items (or aggravated in my experience!). I had to remember when I last looked (3:12pm yesterday perhaps?), scroll down and see which messages came in after that time and look at them. If a weekend went by and I didn't check the forum the "today" and "yesterday" no longer had meaning and I had to check dates. This new forum is so much better!

Point taken -

it probably is a case of me being set in my ways !

I'm just throwing out initial responses as well, maybe too quickly sometimes...

Tom,

As someone who is very much set in his ways I completely understand but for some reason the old forum, compared to others I use, just drove me crazy so I'm happy to find relief in this one!

Ah,

I only now see that the red new dissappears once I've looked at the post/page

definitely much better/easier :-)
