JRL Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 You should not be uncomfortableThis is not a highly read site (at least not until now, that may change, who knows)so ALL newer content should be up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 You should not be uncomfortableThis is not a highly read site (at least not until now, that may change, who knows)so ALL newer content should be up thereDid you even read my reply? You said "Up there" so I assume you mean the upper right where it says "New Content" If you had read you would have seen that ALL new content is an option, but its user defined not server defined.As for members post under profiles, I want to check server impact first. Yes this is a small site now, but that does not mean it should be slow. Second the last thing I want to do is give you a feature now to have to take it away later. You bitch for weeks when I move a feature. God forbid I remove one. BTW Mike said he was banning you, can you even reply still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Mike just asked me to have it where when you click "View Members posts" it shows you all of them, not just last years worth. I am not comfortable with doing this until I see how much extra load it will put on the server. As for "View New Content" thats a user defined setting. You just need to click the drop down at the top right next to your avatar and select settings. At the very bottom of that page you will see search options. Check it from last 24 horus to all.Thanks, I found the option for "content I haven't read" and changed it. I'll check it out this way see if this is better. But to be honest I would think with the amount of traffic (or lack there of) on this site that "view new content" should linger 48hrs or more... I mean I'm here almost every day and I still miss a ton of post... I do agree with Jim, "all newer content should be up there". I did like the old site when you could select "today, last week, last 2 weeks"... But for me those buttons didn't work 99% of the time! I asked Rob several times if this was something he would fix and he didn't. This was the main reason I was not happy with the site, and the fact that all my constructive criticism was ignored. If you are missing most of the new posts then what's the point of having the "view new content" button... I can manually search on my own, who needs a button that doesn't work most of the time anyway... For the older posts the only reason I needed them was a member was asking about something I had posted 2 years ago and just couldn't find it. I would be nice to have that abilty to pull up older posts without spending lot of time looking for it... I still think you all need to change the colors, anything that is different from VS. I guess this isn't a high priority now but I think it would make it easier for the VS/VR users...Just my $.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you posted something more than a year ago, its going to be way quicker to sue the search vs scrolling through all your posts. As for 24 hours vs 48 vs something else, my logic was than if you wanted that just set it to all as I suggested for you. That way you can scroll back however far you want, 1 day 10 days, a million days as the posts are listed cronologically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you posted something more than a year ago, its going to be way quicker to sue the search vs scrolling through all your posts.I rarely have good luck with the search function, I normally have better luck with Google. That could be why I don't use it. I used the search function like you suggested and yes I found the post I wanted. But I disagree. Searching everyones post vs. a hand full of my posts, seems like the long way to get there, if you know what I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEU Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Click advanced search and add a member filter.Yes I did that, I could have even searched in the title, but using "view members post" is easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yes but I am not slowing down the server for 99% of the time to make it easier 1% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find myself getting it mixed up with VS at first look. Maybe a different shade of blue or something different altogether like reds or orange? Just some ideas for you...Cough, Cough!
