"Show unread messages" option?

Post by azn »

Hello, I know that option is very handy on some forums but I cannot find it here. Is it here and I just don't see it or there's no such option on these forums.

I try to be active member of the community but It's a little harder when I need to check all new topics by hand :).

btw. if there's no such option is there a possibility to include it?
btw2. sorry if I started the topic in wrong section, just couldn't find the right one for it, maybe it's time to create a section for forums releated talk?

Show unread messages hmm nope thats not on the forum....
You can however scroll to the bottom and click 10 most recent posts.

Btw: the members here don't post 1000's messages A day so its easy
to just check the topics that are marked new infront of it in 30 min's.

hope that solves your question :P

To be honest, as you all know these forums are very dark and maybe it's just me but these blinking dots informing about new topics aren't very visible, it would be much more visible if they're bright red or so. I don't know how the others like them though.

For me, it's good if it has the first frame of the animation different, because my phone's web browser doesn't support animated GIFs. :P

Go to user cp at top of forum then click profile, options.
In options go down till you see (Which Template would you like to use?)
and select the second one... Yey you will now have a brighter forum.

This all, has to be decided by the forum owner, which is in this case Smirftsch, so... you could ask him in person.

You can go View -> Page style -> No style. Oh look a white background. lol

Or get a color replacement plug-in for your browser.
