Feedback Thread: Discussion (>'.')> <('.'<)

@Reyn,

This has been discussed. Robert is planning (I think I read) to add the possibility of keeping the New feature, but keeping the threads in chronological order on New Posts. He probably said that on this thread.

@ossobuco,

Excellent, thanks!

Must have missed previous post.

Thanks but none of my graffiti tags are visible even after another poster copied some of mine. I could always do that in case they start to show up I guess. Here's an example of what I mean http://able2know.org/topic/153630-2#post-4191431

But your tags are still there; it's just that the graffiti has been painted over by the good Samaritans in the community.

@Reyn,

But, it will be as soon as somebody posts after you. Okay, it's taking me awhile to adapt to it too, but since I don't need to read the most recent post if it's my own, I think it's better.

Notice this, Reyn. If you click "New" you get all new posts since your last post. If you click the name of the last poster, you go directly to the last post. Kind of neat, I think. I follow a couple of multipage threads and don't want to go to page 72 and work backwards to the last page I read. Now, I can go directly where I want to be.

@DrewDad,

In this specific example the self-proclaimed good Samaritans are imho just plain trolls acting as a mob. Their graffiti tags ante-date my own tags so they didn't overwrite or "paint over" anything because nothing was there before. They just polluted the forum pool and left their dirt there for all to see.

Yeah, but I'm not necessarily interested in those threads, but interested in follow-up to the thread I just posted in.

But, if there will be an option to keep the NEW stuff, put put it in chrononlogical order, I'm happy.

@Reyn,

Click on your own name, scroll down. Your posts are all there in inverse chronological order. My Posts won't get you there. Or My Profile.

@electronicmail,

are you on some kind of mission?

@electronicmail,

Yes, thank you, I'm aware of that, but I wanted other folks' posts on the same thread as well.

Problem solved anyways. This is something Robert is working on.

I have a minor complaint about the new red "NEW" flag, signalling that a thread has received new responses.

I like it, but sometimes it throws me off. On further introspection, I noticed that all those events fall into two categories:

I wrote the only new post on the thread. In this case the "NEW" flag throws me off by signalling that it has new information for me when it actually hasn't.
Someone I ignore wrote the only new post in the thread. This throws me off by drawing my attention to something I wish to ignore.

Is it possible, without too much extra effort and computing time, to set the "NEW" flag only if the new posts are written neither by myself nor by someone I'm ignoring?

Can you double-check whether that happens? People have been complaining about the opposite (that when their post is the last one, there is not a "NEW" flag and they lose track of it). And when I just checked, when the last post on a thread was mine, there was no "NEW" flag.

@sozobe,

It happens when you don't read your own post after you post it (or something like that). I sometimes find my recently posted to threads in new, but mostly I find them not new.

@JPB,

How do you not read your own post after you post it?

When I hit submit on my last post, above, I then went straight to "new posts," and there was no "NEW" flag on my last post.

@sozobe,

Yeah, just happened again. Went to new posts, and there was no "NEW" flag, which meant it fell down below the threads which did have new unread posts. I went to "my posts" and it appeared at the top, there, but with no "NEW" flag.

Maybe it's when you reply to all.

This is a test...

@Thomas,

Negative. Will keep my eyes open if it occurs in other situations.
