Dangerzone Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I was just wondering how people are currently using the new forum to view the latest activity / posts? I'm having a hard time navigating just trying to figure out how I can 'keep up' with the posts that have been made since my last visit. The 'latest activity' only shows me the last 30 posts at maximum (if I click on 'show more' until it is no longer an option) and RSS feed only gives me the latest 10 topics. Short of clicking into every single sub-forum and scanning every single post noting the date/time stamp since my last visit I can't see how this can be achieved and was wondering how other people are currently managing it? (I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing - I must be dumb). Just really keen to know what work-arounds users have come up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The closest thing that I have gotten is this (see pic). If you don't do step 4, the posts that pop up are the titles of the threads that have have new posts in them, rather than the posts themselves. It's super weird and I wish there was an easier way. I am using a RSS reader to try to keep up. Unfortunately I believe that the RSS only catches newly made posts. Check out the thread in the pic for more info, coincidently. 1 DCS VoiceAttack Profiles | My Mods and Utilities on ED User Files | DiCE: DCS Integrated Countermeasure Editor DCS Update Witching Utility | DCS-ExportScripts for Stream Deck Community Github Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hey, just back with more info. The Filter options are not saved. And I see that you can only view "more posts" two or three times. Bummer.

some1 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 This search link is the closest to the "new posts" button on the old forum. It's slow to search and haven't found a way to control the number of posts per page, but better than nothing. Saves you from clicking through advanced search options every time https://forums.eagle.ru/search?searchJSON=%7B%22date%22%3A%22lastVisit%22%2C%22type%22%3A%5B%22vBForum_Text%22%5D%2C%22channel%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22sort%22%3A%7B%22lastcontent%22%3A%22desc%22%7D%2C%22view%22%3A%22topic%22%2C%22exclude_type%22%3A%5B%22vBForum_PrivateMessage%22%5D%7D&btnSubmit= 2 Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil T-50CM, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Terrible. Can’t mark all forums as read like in the old. Was I the only one using that feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I use the advanced search with the following attributes: - Date Range: From [date of last visit] or "last visit" checkbox (the checkbox doesn't seem to work reliably though) - Sort by: "date - last update" - View: "Topics" This gives me pretty much the same results in pretty much the same way as the old new posts button of the old forum. It's pretty cumbersome to work with though, compared to the old button. :( Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

QuiGon Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hey, we have a “new posts” button. sorted! thanks ED Just noticed that too! There are also some other buttons with slightly different functionality. Thanks a lot ED! :thumbup: Now if only the search times would improve, as they are muuuuuuch slower than they were on the old forum.
