With jump-to-unread on, load a thread I read already but that has one or more new posts, pagination set to 25 posts per page. I ALWAYS start at post 1, page 1. Only when I click Next or go to the page with the last unread post(s), will it jump to unread post(s). With the old style, one would load the whole thread. With the new style, you only load page one. And then any next page. How is that an improvement when you have a bad or slow internet connection? As I see it, before you would've loaded most of the thread once your internet cut out, and there's a good chance you would've gotten your information. Now you've only loaded page 1, and the internet cut out, but the info you need is on page 3 or anywhere between that and 76. And why does this test always have to happen on a live (project) forum? Why can't this be tested at something like a BOINC Alpha forum? Now it's half-broken and annoying the heck out of a lot of the users, including me, for what that's worth. -- -- Jord. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
