that's what i meant Chris.

Pun bb is the forum system which audiogames.net uses, but it's not unique, project.aon uses it as well for an example.

Other systems have other capabilities obviously, but I'd agreee Pun bb is probably the easiest to deal with.

Certainly it's the forum I have to turn off least amounts of rubbish in the display settings for such as avatars, likes, signatures etc.

Beware the grue!

There are a few forums that have a way of launching a thread with
focus on the first unread post, though off the top of my head I don't
recall any of them being as accessible overall as audiogames.net.
Swings and roundabouts really,, but just thought I'd let Chris know
that the functionality he's after isn't unheard of.

Nope, I've not seen a Punbb system that has that feature.

You can display topics with unread posts, but not the posts individually, in fact I tend to find such things irritating personally sinse I'd rather have all the info there in case I need to refer back to something, and just rely
on page navigation to get to what I want.

Beware the grue!

Oh, that's disappointing if there isn't a more automated method to show
the
most recent posts.  other forum software I have used, such as that on
http://www.burningwheel.org keeps track of read and unread posts and
there's
a mechanism to only see the unread ones.  Ok, well, I'll work on
developing
strategies.

I do similar things with hal actually, though usually there I use e to get
to the edit area of the quick reply box and then alt tab back to my own
last

post so that I can read all the people who posted after me.

Hi Chris,

You don't necessarily have to read all 1,000 messages on a thread just
to get to the newest message/post. If you want to quickly get to the
bottom of a thread you can either use the h key to jump to headings,
or you can use control+end to get to the bottom of the page and use
shift+h to get to the top of the last post on a particular thread.
That's what I do and I can usually find the newest posts just by
working backwards rather than reading from the top down.

Ok, just joined audiogames.net and I am having some trouble doing things
efficiently on the forums.  (fora?, I hate that plural. *smile*)
Anyhow,

is
there a clean way of tracking particular topics and only hearing the new messages since the last time I read the topic? I don't need to read the
1,037 messages in the Swamp FPS topic each time someone adds a new
message.




In general, is there a detailed help file somewhere I can read to learn
all
the little tricks of this forum software?
