Notifications about new content is where I have the problem. But not always. Today, for example, it seems to be working more or less as expected. But not on Saturday when I opened the thread. Then when I clicked on notifications about new content being added to the Newsletter thread (which I follow) I was sent to the top of page one of the thread. Doing the same thing on newer notifications today I'm sent to the relevant new content. Thank you for the reference to the appropriate forum. If I post again on this issue I will do it there.

I am always logged in when I access the Forums. The difficulty occurs on threads I access through my notifications, which are not available unless I'm logged in.

I've noticed that sometimes when I access a thread I'm automatically placed at the first unread post, and other times I'm placed at the very first post, often pages back from the first unread one. Is there a way to control this behavior so that I always go to the first unread post by default? If that is the default, what might I possibly doing wrong that causes it often not to happen? And is there a way to jump to the first unread post? BTW, I thought that somewhere there was a subforum for questions about the forums, but I can't find that. Please move to a better location if that is appropriate.

MidWeek Deals | DCS Update Summary | Digital Blue Angels
sthompson replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
So this was posted on Friday, July 25 and the sale lasts only until Monday July 28. Seems a bit weird to call it a "midweek" sale! -
Where is the JF-17 official manual? I can only find a chuck's guide.
sthompson replied to Napillo's topic in JF-17 Thunder
Perhaps they should stop advertising that it has English documentation then. Thank goodness for the Chuck's Guide on this module. -
Seems to be very little publicity about this on the forums where ED usually posts such news. I'm wondering if there is a list somewhere of the discounts during the sale.

How much does your DCS experience rely on community contributions?
sthompson replied to Dangerzone's topic in Chit-Chat
I'm mostly SP but still benefit from community contributions. Especially VAICOM for voice control of the AI. Also SRS when I do fly MP. And there are a few mods that make setting up my HOTAS the way I want to so much easier. -
Try starting VA using the -showcommandnames flag. It's described in the manual. This should cause VoiceAttack to report to the log which commands it is executing, which might provide a clue as to what is triggering this.

I have had a similar experience except that I never import the F10 menu. So I do not think that is the cause, or at least not the only cause. There may be an underlying problem that can be activated in more than one way. The problem word is always "for," which makes me think this is a bug.

I have had the same issue for a long time. I assume it has something to do with the difference between homophones four and for but I've never tried to track it down. Doesn't really seem to matter for my usage.

User Files | La-7 Development Progress
sthompson replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
A long time ago I posted a request for more flexible filtering. In particular, since skins represent a huge percentage of the user files it would be convenient to have a mechanism to filter them out while looking at all other files relevant for a particular module. Otherwise, looking to see what is new for a given module requires skipping over many, many new skins to see if there is anything else. Right now the only way to avoid skins in the results is to pick one of the other categories and go through them one at a time. -
Lunar Sale | Su-25A Announced | MiG-29 Pilot Helmet
sthompson replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
The announcement specifically says the reworked SU-25A will be "high" fidelity, not "full" fidelity. You must have missed the sentence "Based on the Flaming Cliffs series, aircraft operations will be tailored towards ease-of-use aiming to establish bindings and modes of operation." Therefore it will not have a clickable cockpit. Basically they are making two changes to the existing module (1) making it free and (2) upgrading the visual model.
