For those using the Prosilver or Prosilver10px styles, you'll now be able to use the "View new posts" link on every page, instead of just the main page. It's in the blue navigation bar where the User Control Panel is, as shown here:

Apologies for the delay in getting this out. The Subsilver2 style isn't affected by this change (I believe this feature is already in that style).

Hi g,

If it is not much of a problem, how about having a "view all posts" as well ? The "view new posts" displays only very recent threads only, sometimes only one or two. There may be a timer or something.

Take care,
Winston

Firstly, I've almost never used the "view new posts" feature myself in all the forums I've visited, so pardon me if I'm not too familiar with how it works. :) I've experimented a bit, and I can't a predictable behaviour for it. On the phpbb3 community's forum, there's some discussion about this as well. Apparently view new posts works based on your session; so you'll see (or clear) "new posts" if you log in and out:

winston, not sure what you mean by "view all posts" - do you mean "view all unread posts"? If so, then I think there's a MOD for it that I can try and see.

I meant to say "view all active topics". Take care, WInston

Because... you're posting from the future. Check your profile - wahlao, why you set Australian Central (UTC +9.30) timezone? I know you like Aussie wines lah, but you lim until maboh maboh isit?

You should use UTC +8 (same goes for those who're living/posting/reading in Singapore).
