View new posts button/link?
« on: October 14, 2009, 10:53:03 am »
Would it be possible to implement a button/link to view the latest posts?

There is such a feature on another forum I use and it is very handy to be able to see the new posts all on one page rather than having to go to each sub forum.

I know there is a list of the last five or so recent posts at the forums front page but its hard to navigate back to and a list of five isn't very many.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

You've missed it, then. It's there. You see the little page icon to the left of those new messages? Click it.

Ah yes, I see. I didn't realise that was a button  :cheers:

I'll add it as a bookmark as its hard to back to the front page without entering http://forum.arcadecontrols.com. That is, unless I'm missing something else  :laugh:

Its here:



Not exactly obvious is it?

A button in the home/help/search/profile/logout bar or somewhere accessible from every page would be nice.

I only happened across it one day. My mouse passed over it and I was like, "Hey, that's a link. What happens when I click it?"

I tried using that defense once.  Didn't work.   :'(
