That -> Oct 17 2008, 17:58

... is when I asked the question. Should I wait longer than 3+ days in the future? Is one bump a day not relaxed? There were 6 replies to other people by admins, site owners, developers in that time. I had asked in the news thread and got no response. That would have been difficult to see though, so I posted here.

On the view I used.... It was an option on the front page, fairly prominent. I would have thought a load of people used it as it had all the news listed and colour coded by category. It was one of the best ways to pick up stories and software update news which on more cluttered sites would be extremely difficult to keep track of. I've been playing with RSS feeds and trying to approximate that site functionality but it's just not possible... for me at least.

<<snip>>

I was just going by the last 2 posts, you quoted yourself, and then bumped it again.

I was just trying to be nice and answer your question. On top of that note, I try to answer all the questions I see, but of course a lot of stuff is overlooked, which could of been your case with the admins and coders trying to reply to other questions.

Like I said, I don't know exactly what happened, and can only answer to the best of my knowledge, and years of experience on Neowin. I don't know about the title feature, but I do remember it, and know what your requesting. Yes it can be useful, but the best person to ask would be to ask our Development Staff, the persons I think would know the most about this is Rob, Timan, or DaveLegg.

Sometimes a direct PM will get the answer you are looking for, and sometimes not. Try to get someone who is online. I usually see those 3 online all the time, so that is why I suggested them.

Just remember it could of been a design decision not to include this into the current design, or it could of been overlooked. I personally would like to know myself, but it is a feature I don't use, and not exactly interested in.

Our designer occasionally needs a break.

At least give me a "no" answer if that's the case.

"No, here at Neowin we have no current plans to provide useful functionality like before"

That way I'll know to **** off elsewhere.

Relax...not everyone is monitoring this thread every day.

I can't speak directly for the development team but as far as I know there isn't any plans to port that functionality. It may have been something we overlooked and is required in which case it'll be ported back if possible. I will ask and get someone to respond.

Thanks

Most of us are patiently waiting.

And others, are not. :p

I still can't get used to the front page lol. Ahh well, im sure the forum layout will be better, I like the color though, so that's a plus.

Do ads come back with the new layout for the forums? (Subscriber or not?)

Patiently waiting for the new forum skin, will there be different colour selections, like there was for Shift and Swift Refresh?

The same colour selection you have on the front page presumably: Blue, blue or.. well... blue.

I'm definitely looking forward to a new forums skin. I always like testing new things :)

The forum skin is already here and been here for a long time. :p

Just go to the bottom of the forum and click the skin drop down box changer and choose "Finity."

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
