Need Help On The Site/forum?

[Paul]

Glad to hear you like the change @bazookabob. 

It is a deliberate change to be honest, albeit one we're testing to see how people use it. From what we can see, most people who regularly use the forums may use a link from the homepage initially, either into a thread or onto the forum index, but then tend to go to other threads from the forum index page.

From there, clicking the thread names will take you to the last unread post in that thread:

If you go into individual forums, clicking the icon to the left of the forum title will do the same thing - bold icons have content you've not read yet.

You can also check all the unread content on the forum from here and can also filter that to only display threads you follow etc:

https://www.netweather.tv/forum/discover/unread/

Another option, which I often use is to switch the forum to the fluid view setting. That shows threads from across the forum in update order, so you can go into the active threads quickly. Like the forum view, clicking the small icon to the left of the thread title will take you to the first unread post in there. Just click the icon marked on here, at the top of the forum to activate this view. You can switch back to the traditional view by clicking the icon to the left of it. 

Hopefully that helps a tad, but thanks for your feedback. As I say we are testing, so will take feedback on board alongside usage statistics comparing the new display to the old style.

Thanks for the reply, Paul, I didnt mean to sound overly critical. I guess different folk use it different ways, I usually just went from the homepage direct to the MOD or regional discussions if anything interesting was happening! I'll try out some of your suggestions above. Cheers again.

Has the option to hide posts been switched off again?

The ignored list is still available. Could it be the one you're seeing is in a quoted post? They're not hidden even when on the ignore list

I should've said the option to hide your own posts that used to be underneath the post. I found it quite useful as my phone sometimes loses connection and ends up posting twice when it reconnects, no idea why it does it.

It should still be there - under options on your posts

Not sure it is? This is what I see under a post I've made just minutes ago

Looks like invision may have removed the option as it stood on a recent update. I'll look into it.

Just a quick one and sorry if it's been noted before, but when I return to a topic sometimes it automatically places me at the 'New content begins here' which is the next user generated message posted after I left...but other times leaves me at the top of the page and I need to scroll down to find that next message.

Ideally I would want it to place me at the 'New content begins here' marker every time I return to net weather.  Just wondered if it's something in my account settings I should be changing?

Usually clicking the icon next to the threat title takes you to the next unread post.

d'oh  ...didn't know it was that simple lol  I must have clicked on it without realising when it worked and wondered why it didn't work when I just clicked on the thread title.  Cheers.

I am hereby tabling an amendment to the current Netweather laws for a short reversal of not allowing political discussion if an election takes place, this was intimated by Paul that this would happen during General Elections, i would be happy to let democracy prevail and hold a vote on whether this would be done or not.

Perhaps there should be a vote on whether or not to have a vote

I like your style! 

The team are discussing this at the moment.

Thanks SS but the last two do not appear on my home page. I'm probably missing something

Do you see anything here? https://www.netweather.tv/forum/forum/35-weather/

I have tried Firefox on W10 and it's showing for me. Could you have an extension running that's possibly blocking some parts of the forum?

I can see popular learning topics and photos displayed but not down the welcome to Netweather column

Not that I know of although I'm not sure what you mean
