New Posts Link?
GreyDesk Started conversation Jun 2, 2005
Is it my imagination, or has the counter for the number of new posts when it's displayed in your conversations list just become a clickable link?
The link is in the usual and familiar F[xxx]?thread=[xxx]&show=20&skip=[xxx] format, but has now grown a new attribute of #pi[xxx] at the end of the link, which takes you to the last (or possibly one after the last - it'll need testing) post that you viewed in the thread.
So why no announcement about this important and *extremely* useful bit of site development?

And now it takes you to the first post you haven't yet read - very handy!

I'm not really here Posted Jun 2, 2005
In the usual manner of topic drift, it came up in a conversation elsewhere. We were all talking about the habit of bookmarking with a smiley (something I know Jim Lynn doesn't like - he nearly wouldn't let me upload the smiley as I'd originally called it <bookmark> and he popped up and fixed it.

I don't think it works in the plain skin I have to use at work because it is less obvious that I'm surfing
Nice and useful in brunel at home though

Riotact - I don't know what you're smoking, but that definitely is a new clickable. Well spotted, Desky.

B, in the My Conversations window, in both brunel and plain, the link has been there 'X New Posts' and clickable for a while - it took you to the page on which the new postings occurred but not to the new posts themselves.

Well, I'm blue Goo, of course.
And I never use the My Conversations window - it doesn't refresh quick enough for high-speed hootooing.

Well it may well have been clickable in that pissy little conversations *popup*, but it only became clickable in the far more useful (and now even more user friendly) conversations *page* last night. And thank you very much, Jim

Its always been clickable there, in Alabaster, and taken you to the 'oldest' of the 'new' posts, I.E., on to the page at which the new posts begin from well I think ... yes... I think.... probably... now I'm confussed

No, the brackets have always been white. It's the stuff within them that has changed colour, because it is now a link.
