I'm poking around comtemplating an upgrade and comparing 7 to my current 6.5.5

I noticed the non-read post count isn't shown.

You know the (23) numbers that show how many unread posts there are. I use that on my current board and it seems to be a favorite.

Is that just turned off here?

That didn't make it into the 7.0 rewrite, but it is coming back in 7.1 that is currently in private beta testing.

This feature is not in 7.0, but is in 7.1 which is currently in Beta.

Rick,
Do you ever sleep?

I also noticed that I can't determine new threads or posts since the last visit.

Am I that dense or am I really missing something here?

Rick sleeps a lot, I however do not hehe...

If there are new posts since your last visit, the "new posts indicator" will (rather it should) light up; additionally if you're using the Active topics feature there should be an "arrow" to the left of the topic listing which should allow you to jump to the latest post.

These however will only work for users so long as they're logged into your forum.

I sleep when the wife makes me

You should be able to see new posts by the coloring of the folders/icons on the left side of column. If you're using the default style they should be yellow-ish when there is something new and grey/white-ish when there isn't.

The wife doesn't make me, i just stumble off at some random portion of the day...

Ah OK.. I see that.
Takes awhile to get used to stuff.

I can imagine a few thousand folks waking up to this change some morning. I better take a week vacation when I switch over. lol

The best is when you take a week vaction the day after you upgrade ;)...

Smaller avatars. Theres certainly a revolt in the making. lol

I think you have issues with your server date. Says I registered in April and I registered yesterday.


DUH.. you guys are using the non-intuitive date format. You like driving folks crazy by showing off your geek date format I see.

Sorry I'm pretty far off topic at this point. I'm heading for the corner.

You should be able to set the date format in your own settngs

I see this for you:

And I see this for you (ntdoc) Registered: 11/08/06

btw, myself I like yyyy/mm/dd

Yes yyyy/mm/dd is excellent for computers and sorting, but since most of America doesn't use it it's hard to switch.

Avatar sizes are adjustable in the control panel. Date format is as well

Oh yes, Sorting is excellent, I use it at http://www.corthell.net for my photo album
