Not sure why, but the forum seems to — quite often — put posts of mine into “Spam”, even though I do not actually intend to spam.
Last post that happened to was my reply in the “10 favorite soundtracks” forum. Not sure what could have triggered the filter.I’m stumped too. Maybe Malte knows? Incidentally, you’re not the only one whose posts are filtered into “pending”, for whatever reason, but it seems to happen to you the most. Irritating.
Does anyone have any tips on how to attract more members? I’ve invited some on my own, some of whom cordially came on here to say hello and then disappeared again, for reasons unknown. I’ve tried to post about the forum on FSM, JWFAN and Maintitles as well, without much success (and I don’t want to spam). Do any of you have any Facebook connections you could invite, for example? I know it’s a big ask, but I had to make it.
What about sending regular updates about recent discussions to those who already are registered in the forum? For example once a week.
Is there a way to show the most recent posts at the top of the list? I thought that most message boards did that by default.
Yes, whenever there are new posts to a thread, the thread is automatically bumped to the top.
But if you mean a “new posts since the last time I visited” type of function, perhaps marked differently, or with a different colour or something, I’ll leave that up to Malte to explain. Not sure there is one. There is so little activity here, though, so fairly easy to get on top of things if you’ve been away for a while.
Seems I haven’t seen and replied to some questions…!

You can subscribe to the forum or individual topics on the top right corner. Then you should get mail notifications. I think you also get them if you started a topic.
Isn’t that what an “RSS feed” is (the orange icon up in the corner)? I think Malte knows.
RSS is not the same but can be used like that with an RSS reader (same for the RSS feed of posts on the site itself). It does not require registration as it is public for public content.

Actually that descending order is the default order for blogs and other general news sections but no forum I know does that. All use ascending order as that is the “discussion or reading order” of course. There is no setting for this.
On the forum page the topic with the latest reply will be at the top and on the right you can click on the date
Graham’s post was a little confusing, but I’m pretty sure he meant a “new posts since the last time” function.

Okay, but isn’t having the latest topics on top basically providing that? Other than that we have nothing for that I fear.
No one seemed to have missed it but we now have forum search form as the main one from the site header only searches the actual articles.
It lists full replies that contain the search term so can be a bit overwhelming.Okay, but isn’t having the latest topics on top basically providing that? Other than that we have nothing for that I fear.
I could possibly list the lastest replies itself like we do with comments. But that would not be user specific the latest since the last visit.
Great with the search engine!
On FSM, the most ancient of ancient messageboards (for the time being), posts with new threads since your last visit are marked with red. But you have to scroll to find the latest replies, and when you last left off. On newer messageboards, you’re immediately taken to the last post after your last visit (like JWFAN). I thought maybe that was what Graham was referring to.
You can at least jump to the latest post in any topc directly on the left column. But I fear there is nothing available to jump to the latest post that was posted after you last visit. I don’t think that last visit info is even stored anywhere.
Hello again, playmates!
Just to clarify/ confuse the issue wot I was on about several moons ago, this particular topic was (previous to this post) last contributed to 2 dager, 8 tiner siden.
The topic “Been to Any Good Concerts Lately?” is currently three places down the list, and yet the most recent post was a mere 19 minutter siden.
Do I make myself clear?
