Speed seems fine for me. There was a link you could click to get last post in a thread have I missed it or has it gone?

Jon,

I searched this entire thread for the string "online" and I didn't find anything. I don't see the stats "number of people viewing" next to the forum categories on the forum's main page like the VB software had. did you lose that feature with the migration?

I noticed that too. I used it often.

 

[Jon]

Do you mean get to the last post in the thread once you are already in the thread, or while viewing threads, a way to go instantly to the last post?

 

[Jon]

@vba_php Do you not see this while on the forums index page?

While viewing threads. In the old software, there was a little arrow after the user's name in this area: "Last Post: Today 3:15PM pbaldy >>"

It would take you right to the last post. Minor annoyance, but now you have to click on the last page and then scroll to the bottom.

While viewing the list of threads, just click on the time link to the right.

what about Jump to New

 

[Jon]

Where is that from?

Thanks that works for me. A few little changes to where and how to do things, but all in all very positive---it'll just take a little time to adjust.

Curious, I've got the Unwatch but not the Jump to new. FF if it matters.

Top right when you enter a thread. Seems to come and go.

Ah, that works, thanks.

It's only Day 1!

@moke123 I've just noticed that now. Wasn't there earlier. How odd!

 

[moke123]

I think it only shows if there is a new unread post but hard to tell.

 

[pbaldy]

I've seen it now. It does come and go, and seems to go to the first post it thinks I haven't seen rather than the last post. I guess that might be nice if there had been a bunch of posts since I had visited a thread, and it took me to the first one I hadn't seen.

yeah I do see that Jon, but that's not the same thing as you had before. Before there was a statement in () parenthesis next to each forum category that said how many people were viewing it at every page load. do you not have that anymore? and can you call me Adam, Jon? =) I ask this on my profile page.

 

[Jon]

@vba_php I only use that so you get the notification.

By the way, I just noticed how the new software will crop a long quote with a "click to expand" option. Love it! Didn't like scrolling past long quotes.
