Just found it

[unclehobart]

I used to do a periodic hidden forum search every 6 months or so. I never ran across this place. I only found it by following Dave via the 'Who's Online' function. How long has this thing been here?

 

[alex]

Don't know how long, I found it via Nixy's "It's so quiet" thread. Apparently there is no external linkage but the threads do show in the "new posts". Better mark it lest you loose it.

Can anyone see the new threads in this forum or just contirbutors and mods?

 

[alex]

I just checked a thread and apparently non-contibutors can see it as well.

 

[Starya]

Yep, we do.

First thing I check when stopping by the forum is "new posts".

 

[BeardofPants]

Y'now, it surprises me how few people seem to use the "new posts" function.

 

[Starya]

Yeah. I almost abandoned a forum when they disabled it for a while.

I have never used it.

 

[Starya]

Wow.

I have never used it.

How does one get to almost 20,000 and never use the new posts feature?? Most inefficient of you.

 

[tonksy]

I don't use it either. I use the forum index and look for the change in icons.

 

[alex]

You really should use the new posts function.

Yep, and it makes it so much easier if you use the new posts feature cos it saves you rooting around trying to figure out which threads you've already peeked at.

 

[tonksy]

I always mark the forums as read before I go away. That way when I come back the new posts are lit up.

 

[unclehobart]

I don't trust such features. I'm a stodgy old man set in my ways.
