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.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
