Title: Unread posts since last visit
Post by: k4kyv on July 06, 2007, 09:17:16 PM
Is it just me, or has the Unread Posts Since Last Visit feature been turned off?  The  link usually appears at the top of the page, but this evening, it's missing.  I had to click on each discussion forum individually.

Hi Don

I just  got back here and I decided to respond to you here instead of your PM .

The answer is no it has not been turned off and I see it here and used it yesterday. It seems to be working fine. I have yet to here from any other user that  has had the same problem.

I would clear your cache and see if that helps..

Works perfectly here, also.

I cleared the cache.  Didn't help.  Logged out and logged back in.  Still didn't help.  Exited Firefox and tried opening with IE.  Still the same.  The "unread" link has simply vanished off the face of the earth.

Everything else works normally.

It's a real PITA without it.

Now, ever since I emptied the cache, whenever I click on anything, it takes for ever for the page to load.

Don:
Just below the AMFone title at the top, on the right is the date, time, and either a "-" or "+" symbol.

If it's a "+", click it; you want a "-" in order to see these three lines below:

Much obliged.  That fixed it.  I don't know how it got toggled off.  I must have clicked on it accidentally.

And it's running normal speed.  The cache must have reloaded the pages by now.

I shortcut that, so I have not noticed, but it looks like the functionality has been expanded to include show posts in reply to your posts as well.

Go to the main HOME: http://amfone.net/Amforum/index.php

Under the big "AMfone" gif it says hello and 2 links are what you are looking for, I assume, looking something like:
