Anyone using the new posts by specific section?

[Cebby]

Under the "Forum Index" navbar item, if you hover over "New Posts", you'll see a flyout menu with searches for new posts for specific boards. We did a few as a pilot, but will be glad to add more.

#1 - anyone using these?

#2 - are there any that we can add that would be useful?

i dont use them, i like to see all the posts on this board. especially where our posts per day are low (compared to powerhouses like mp3car, bit-tech, and that other place). i think once we get an average of 10 pages of new posts a day, having the sections will be useful.

Everyonce in a while I will use it but generally I use the generic recent posts. ONe to trip planning could be useful, especially once there are more trips.

I was thinking about this the other day and I think it would be more useful if they just jumped you to that actual section rather than just the new posts for that section. For new posts, I pretty much use the generic one but there are times I want to reread a thread in one of the vehicle sections and it would be nice to jump straight to that section. I think just the sections you already have and maybe add "Event Planning" to it, but mainly the vehicle sections.

Is there any way to get a button to the last read post of a thread?
For example, the "banned from other site" thread that if we see something like that where it's growing by the minute - it would be nice to have a specific place left off instead of hunting through the pages to find where you've last left off - especially if the thread has grown 5 pages since then.

If you click on the "New" right next to the thread, it will take you to the first new post that you haven't read.

"New Posts" Button. Hopefully related enough to this topic (I'd don't really think it deserves it's own thread). On all the other forums I'm on (v-bulletin) the "New Posts" button will bring up a list of all the thread titles that have received new posts since the last time I logged on. If I hit the "New Posts" button here I get that there are 219 pages of new posts, I don't think there would be nearly that many in 24 hours. I may be missing something, I have searched around, but haven't found anyway that will bring up threads with new posts since my last log in. Just curious and perhaps a bit confused Thanks for any input.

I never noticed that existed. Cool feature. I use the "Recent Forum Topics" list on the homepage almost exclusively though. With the current traffic level on this site, this works fine for me; but as the site continues to grow, I can definitely see the usefulness of the "New Posts" feature in the future.

I agree.
