Emeralis00 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I was wondering if you could set the unread replies link to actually go to the unread reply instead of the top of the page. It gets tedious, having to scroll all the way down the page to get to the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but the amount you need to scroll is the same amount you would do on, say, every other page. I suppose it depends how big your screen is, but I can start clicking the unread replies link on my phone's resolution. Unless you are talking about View New Content, which is a little bit further down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralis00 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 um, no. What I mean was, if I click on the links in the unread replies spot (not the link to the unread replies spot) it goes to the top of the topic. Then I have to scroll all of the way down the page to get to the bottom of the topic, where the unread reply is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChan Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 In the board view, click on the time of the last post in any given thread and it will take you to the first unread post, but sometimes it takes a minute to jump down, and if you start scrolling too soon it tends to cancel the effect. Any more than that really isn't worth doing compared to the other things we're working on; besides, scrolling sort of comes with forums in general. It's something we all have to deal with, no matter what site we're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralis00 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 OK then thanks for the listening any ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I see what you mean now. I might be able to get it to change, but don't count on it. That Unread Replies thing is already a hack on IPB as it is. I'm not very familiar with all the ins-and-outs, and the programming documentation is relatively poor. EDIT: I think Kerry may not have understood what you meant with View Unread Replies. However, thank you for bringing it up. I honestly don't use the feature myself.

Eerongal Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 i'm not entirely clear what you're talking about. Are you talking about this: The "go to unread reply" link/button? Because when i click that it goes directly to the first post I haven't read. As in scrolled down to it and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 He's talking about the View Unread Replies feature. Click the drop down menu (the same way you get into Messenger) and the option is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eerongal Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 He's talking about the View Unread Replies feature. Click the drop down menu (the same way you get into Messenger) and the option is there. But the link i've shown the picture of is also on there and works just the same? Is he talking about just clicking the topic name? Because i think that screen functions exactly the same as browsing the forum topics, doesn't it (i never really use it, so i dont know....)

Chaos Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Huh. Go reply to this post again, so I can see if that's true I've used up all my unread replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hey, it worked. Awesome. So Emeralis, you'll need to just click the orange box to get to the most recent reply. Eero is exactly right; what the Unread Replies is doing is just building a list, much like the normal topic list when you look at an individual forum.
