Click the little icon to the left of the title ;)

I know, but because of the limitation I mentioned in the first post if I either misclick or forget, I'll completely lose my progress in a thread.

If IPB3 doesn't fix this age-old bug, then you guys should hack it so that it works like it should.

Or, yknow, switch to vBulletin, who's had this working for what 2 years now :p

So you think that clicking the link and not the icon, which sends you to the OP instead of the latests post is a bug? :unsure:

I won't be happy if this gets changed, I always open up threads at the OP and read pretty much the entire thread from there.

(30 posts/page and quick deduction if a post is worthwhile reading or not). I don't really like saying things that have already been said, so I read the thread to see what's been said. Doesn't add anything to the conversation & isn't very interesting to read.

Plus, it's kinda silly seeing people asking for something, which has been answered a page earlier (but most likely 3 pages earlier to them, which is obviously too many pages to go back through...).

It would be even better if you can provide an option in the UserCP to move the whole thing to the bottom of every page (like phpBB). But it has to be a user preference (lest the 103 posters above come to kick my ass for pulling it down). "Quintessential Customization"; we can brag 'bout it later...

No, reading the first page (or indeed any page) of a thread marks the entire thread as read. This is a bug (not really, but I class it as a bug because only IPB still works that way). If I read the first page of a thread and then click the little icon again, I want it to go to the 2nd page of the thread. Because I have only read the first page, I have not read all the 125 pages.

Why does the forum software think that I have? This is why I would never use IPB for any of my sites (that, and the mouseover thread title - who the hell cares about thread start date? Give me a summary! Also the fact that I have 4 years of vBulletin experience :p)

The thread title taking me to OP is perfectly fine, I'm sorry if I was unclear about that. But if I mis-click, I can't click the little icon anymore - or rather, it would be pointless to do so. The "go to new post" has broken.

That feature is the only way i'll ever see a lot of the threads here, because it's easy to miss them. I use it pretty much all day every day lol.

It's one of my only ways of getting to new and interesting threads, and I love it. Only thing that is slightly annoying is the autorefresh. Add something to make the refresh more visual (timer or something) or just don't let it refresh itself.

You can disable the autorefresh. Simply make sure next to 'Show Less' it says 'Start' instead of 'Stop.'

EDIT:

Forgot to say that I like the LFA, it's one of the primary ways I browse the forums.

Obviously when I as a Mod I had a bit different of a routine to go over threads, but now I would say 70% of the threads I go to are from Latest Forum Activity. Then I just have all of the main pages in the Gamers Hangout and The Media Room each individually bookmarked, and go to them the other 30% of the time and do a manual eye scan.

For some reason only 5 of the Latest Forum Activity entries show up instead of the 10 that appeared before.

How can I revert back to 10 Latest Forum Activity entries?

Edit: NVM, I just found the 'Show More'... missed it before because it looks like a part of the category header.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
