    "New Posts" link

    There are two ways to look for new posts.

    1) Manually navigate through each of the forums from the index.

    2) Use the New Posts link and go directly to the list of...er...new posts.

    I use method #2.

    Here's the problem. I am at the bottom of a really long thread, and want to click the New Posts link to go back to the list and browse it for the next thread I want to select. But to do that, I have to scroll waaaaaay back up to the top of the thread page. Any way we can add a New Posts link to the bottom of the pages too?

    I'm sure that's possible with a little PHP editing of the template.. I just open the threads in a new tab, then close that tab when I'm done with it...

    Too many tabs already. Also, I get distracted easily. I need to go back to a refreshed list to see which I still have left unread.

    At least I'm not the only one.. There have been times when I had to close other apps so that I could open another 5 or 6 tabs...

    Just wait till you get that dually running with the 2GB DDR2. You'll never have to close apps...just keep adding tabs till your brain goes fuzzy trying to remember which one was what!

    That was one of the customisations that seems to have been causing the problem. Not sure how it was added it but it doesn't seem to be a plugin.

    I tend to just use the 'Whats New' tab at the top which is the same thing I believe.

    Co-incidentally (or not) I think this was all part of the code that was giving us trouble a few months ago with the 'isocoderz' link and hijack.

    Thanks for the info and the hard work on the site you two.
    Whatever it takes to keep the 'isocoderz' issue from coming back I'm all for.
    I got in some hot water at the office, accessing the forum from there during that time.

    I posted a message and after 28 minutes it was no longer in the "new posts" sent me to the 24 hour thing. Is there any way to change the time on "new posts" to be a little longer?
