Some things that appear to be missing in transition:

- Ability to see if board has new posts (i.e. the lightbulb...some replacement that fits new design)
- Ability to see if a thread has new posts (folder icons are not turning red)


Something to add:

- A button to jump directly to new posts in a thread. I hate having to click on the last post and scroll back up.

I know people have made custom scripts that address some site limitation but installing them result in other forums blocking my IP address as a perceived script attack.

yeah the MyBSC/Aggieland forum thing is kind of annoying.

Jump to new post: Several other sports forums have it. Here are two examples (image used included) - TCU's - killerfrogs.com ( ) OU's - landtheives.com ( )

I assume it's part of the prebuilt site software they use so it's easier for them to implement (i.e. they can just activate a feature rather than having to actually write code)

Last post link going to first page: This is, from what I can tell, an artifact of the TexAgs/MyBCS link issue addressed in #4. Only happens when going through that link process rather than directly to mybcs.com then clicking last post on a multi-page thread.

Awesome work on the other stuff. Can't wait to see everything you have planned.

re: Jump to new post. thanks for links. I like it. I'll find a way to get it done.

AWESOME! It really adds to site experience. Can't wait (but I will patiently).

Just kidding. Great work and this board was a great idea to centralize all of the requests.

I'd like the watch list to put the topics with responses on the top followed by the ones that don't have any new responses

Mine does? And it tells me how many new responses there have been.

Edit: or do you mean move threads with new replies to the top even if they aren't the most recent? That would be nice. +1 for that.

Yes, that's what I meant. Just didn't say it very well.

As for going to the post in the thread that is new, but not the end, if you go through the watch list and click like you would to go to the end of a thread, it takes you to the first post posted after you last visited.

Do y'all plan on adding the stuff that is already on the texags enhancement extension?

Like highlight threads and new post numbers:

pages listed next to each thread is way overdue.

the ability to jump to a certain page within a thread without clicking the home page of the thread would be good.

NM.

It seems to me that in conjunction with the "jump to new posts"...

Since, in order to do this a per-user record of topic-to-date viewed would have to be added...

The search enhancements that have been talked about could include (with this new information) an option to "show only new posts."

Gallery on fb, twitter

Another request for the "first new post" button. I visit about six forums daily and this is the only one that does not have it. Once you use it you will wonder how you ever did without it!

Who wants to go to the last post and work backwards?

Somewhat related to the above posts--
Specifically, I would like to see some sort of indicator to let me know that I have posted in a certain thread and need to see more recent posts in reply to my posts.

That is pretty common also.

Sometimes I forget what is TexAgs code and what is scripted from my extensions.

Can someone teach me if there is a way to quote a post without manually copying and pasting and then putting quote tags around it? I have yet to discover it if there is a way. Would save me a bunch of time.

Most forums have a "reply with quote" button. May be we will get it if/when they upgrade the forum software.

The strange thing is that I don't have to pay for the other forums that I frequent that have "unread posts" and "go to first new post" and reply with quote" functions.

1&2. new posts for forums & topics: to be released with new forums (6-8 weeks)

3. jump to new posts. this is not currently on the dev list. there might be some challenges implementing this given our current system design. do you, by chance, participate in another forum that has this feature that I could reveiew.

4. MyBCS/Aggieland link: Thanks! I will fix this.

5. Last post link going to first page: I am not seeing this behavior as I believe you are describing it. Are you talking about the links on the topics listing page?

---

When are the new forums coming? Also, I'm still having issues clicking on the latest post link.

Well...

It's been more than 8 weeks.

Thanks, oosh!

Ahhh, software development. Don't worry I can . I'm a developer too. Just make sure you don't let Have bother you so much that it never gets done.

is it possible if we could get a thing so it allows us to post images straight from our computers instead of having to go through image hosting sites?

those are really annoying when you are trying to upload a large gif.

I would imagine if anything that would be a paid feature. That storage would get expensive quick.

Good point

Time for a 1-year reminder bump...

Some much needed features to improve the site.

Specifically jumping to new posts!

I started reading the thread and saw 6 to 8 weeks and got excited then I saw I already posted on this thread and had to do a double take to see it is a year old thread.

Josh is getting a new building going to add more time on the new forum release?
