Do we have an active topics link? RC might go into DTs.

It's close, but not quite the same thing.  Maybe that was a hack on the old board, I'll try to find a way to get it on here.

I added recent posts to the bottom of the board's index page, its pretty close to the same functionality.

I did one better and added an active tab up top and next to the home link.

Perfect! Thanks, the post view and unread weren't the same.

hhh! You're dead-on ...GOT to get The Active right, Dras.


>I did one better

Could you add it to the bottom right corner, too, so it's at the end of the thread?

Hey! It saves scrolling. When you finish posting and reviewing you're at the bottom of the thread.

It's at the bottom next to the "jump to" dropdown box.

Edit: err only on the thread pages... I'll hack at it some more.

That's probably good enough. That's where you need it to go to pick up another thread in the Active.  Thanks.

I wish there were a "Jump to unread" or "Jump to new" link somewhere. That could help in some of these longer threads.

I added an Unread link at the top and also next to the "Jump to" dropdown on the threads.

Thanks LM. That's handy.

I was referring to jumping within a thread though. vB has a link at the top of every thread that lets you jump to the first unread post within a thread. Even BT has bold text and 'red balls'  at WmW that let you know where you left off last time. In long involved threads, like when RC talks to himself, it would help to know where we last left off. It doesn't necessarily have to be a link like vB, but even a visual reference would help.
