A Suggestion

[Limsgp]

1. Normally for a thread, beside the title there is quick navigation link like ( 1, 2, ... Last ), How about adding a "Goto Last unread". Because it is sometimes quite troublesome to search for the last read post and then proceed from there. A quick link would make the forum more user friendly.

2. Below the thread title, there is the TS name.How about adding the date when the thread was first posted.. currently it only shows the last posted, but not when the thread was started.

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

See that little down triangle to the left of the thread title? Clicking that brings you to the last unread post since your last visit to CS.

I think we don't see the actual date/times (except for really old posts), but "4 minutes ago" etc is an indication of when the post was created; the date/time when a thread was first posted would be the date/time/ago of the #1 post in the thread...


HTH.

Oh.. Thanks for the tip.

As for the 2nd point, what I meant was we're not able to tell when the thread was created at the forum page before clicking on the thread itself.

Let me quote a situation. Say, you go to the "Ready, Lights, Action" forum. Sometimes, you can't really tell whether you have already viewed the thread before. If I'm not wrong, whenever there is new post(Reply), the thread title will appear bold, so it is not accurate indication of whether the thread was viewed before. After clicking on the thread then you realised that actually you have seen it before as it was posted, say, 1 week ago.

Sometimes, visitor may only be interested in viewing the TS's work, instead of the various replies/comments. So being able to tell when the thread was created would be useful in determining whether the thread might have been viewed before, "Before" entering the thread itself.
