1. :-(

2. Hmmm. That's a whole lot more clicking to do.

3. I'm also missing a way of checking for new messages. is that also going back to the sneak peek page?

New messages show up in brackets in you favorite folders.

We don't automatically add a folder to your favorites any more when you visit a forum, because I found that to be annyoing. In HT, I have far too may folders to scroll through as it is.

Also, hiding threads that you have have read is another thing I find frustrating. I find myself clicking more in the old forum system than in the new. It does take a bit of time to get used to this system, but it ultimately saves you time and clicks and endless scrolling over the old system.

Right. But how do I get those numbers to refresh easily without having to go back to the sneak peek page?

That is a definite plus.

Why do you find it frustrating? 99% of the time I don't care about a thread once I've read until/unless someone else adds something to it. It just looks very cluttered to me (as do all the global stickies, can't we have a sepearate transfer/scrimmage forum?) and hard to pick out at a glance what is new and what is languishing.

As my colleague said.

Also, you can click on the name of the folder top left ( in this case BB Global ( English ) ) And the entire page will be refreshed, without clicking on a message or folder.

The reason I don't like hiding them is because I tend to click through all the new stuff, read, browse and then go back and answer. Sometimes I check threads, knowing I won't have time to reply until maybe a couple of hours later. I lose threads easily when they hide. It's probably just more suited to the way I do my forum browsing to have them showing.


We could think about making this optional .. hmm ..

they are reloaded every time you click on something.

every.
single.
time.


But the numbers don't seem to be updating correctly every time I click. The first time I click on BB - Global it loads and says (2). There is the thread I am reading an one other. I click on the second thread and it still says (2) but there are no other threads with unread messages. I click on another folder and it goes to nothing.

Now what about those tie-breaker games...

Also, should posting in a thread really result in a (1) for the message that I just posted?

No it shouldn't .. the code does something in the wrong order. We'll get that fixed.

In the end I think it is progressing a lot; Thanks for the efforts!!

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."

I like the idea and the sneak peek but... Perhaps sticky threads should be removed from the sneak peek? Currently only stickies are visible for for instance this conf. (I know, this should perhaps be in Suggestions but I rate it as feedback :-) )
