Question

New Posts, mark read/unread

When you are on the Mathcad home page there is no indication of which subforums contain new messages since the last time I logged on (or the last time I looked at that forum - either would work). There also seems to be no way to mark threads/posts read or unread to keep track of what I have looked at. Are we goging to get these features? I consider the first one in particular to be essential.

I agree. Without it I won't be using the forum.

I bookmark the 'show new threads' for any forum I participate in, then navigate away from there. If I can't get there quickly it just isn't worth my while!

I've been away for a bit and just realized the change. This is confussing and NOT user friendly. PTC, new do-dats and "spiffy", but if it's not functional, no one will use this forum and you will loose people. Remember ...KISS. I am just backtracking on the old collab for the unread items. Very easy! This functionality is a must

The marking seems to be working now.

However, I get a duplicate listing in the recent postings display if the most recent posting is from me:

there is also a difference in the threads displayed between the one above and the Mathcad-specific discussions display:

Huh, it won't let me post two images in the same posting

So, the Matrix to Vector thread is missing, as is the Mark All Read thread

I think because it is not looking in the sub-communities when you are on the Mathcad page. That's a bug that should be easily fixed.

Did we lose this functionality over the weekend? I noticed that all the modeling questions were green instead of grey. Then after reading those since Friday and refreshing, they stayed green and were not grey.

 

Also, the scroll bar disappears after awhile and you have to move the mouse to "wake it up" before you can scroll with the middle mouse button.
