Hello all! so this mark all forums read button. its very annoying in its current location. Is it possible to move the button out from under the "Whats New" tab? Main reason is I click the mark forums read button accidentally instead of the "Whats New" button. I like to go back to updated, but unread forums too, but when i click that button, i cant. thanks for reading, -narwhal2
I'm very confused here Buttons are miles away from each other until you go onto the what's new page, at which point you dont need the what's new button???
As I said above, that is only there if you are already on the whats new tab. Unless you are a completely incompetent fool who is unaware of control-R or F5, you dont need to press the whats new button when you are already on whats new. Therefore it is genuinely my belief that it is utterly pointless moving the mark forums read link when the likelihood of you hitting it is virtually zero.
Now with a little webpage development knowledge on your side you would know that Ctrl+R or hitting F5 won't work. It would only update the search you've already done and thus will not show new responses in other threads. The search is saved on the server and more or less cached so you don't overflow the server with new searches with every hit of F5. If you want a new search you need to hit "What's New" again. And apparently people miss the button by a couple pixels. Edit: Also i guess the problem described depends on how you use the page. I guess you, dear 6677, use it like "What's New" -> click thread -> read -> click "What's New" again. My usecase is "What's New" -> mousewheel click couple threads (new tab basically), leaving "What's New" open -> when done with threads hit "What's New" on "What's New"-page again.
really? it loads new posts? if so, that is awesome to know. i thought it just reloaded the current search page, not update it.
Control-R is different from F5. F5 refreshes page. Control-R clears local cache for current page, resends the POST or GET requests for the page. Regardless. I dont even use that page. Or the mark forums read button.
Ctrl+r simply refreshes the page on Chrome, for me at least. I tried it on the What's New page, got the same searchID multiple times, only changed when I hit the What's New button again.
That's because it's the way it works *majorfacepalmrighthere*. If you hit CTRL+F5 or anything to refresh the page you land on the same searchId everytime. It's NOT like going to the What's New page. At all.
