In the other thread about forum changes, JCWohlschlag has given the answer :



Thanks JCW,
I can now enjoy the whole page.

I really miss the "all posts in the last ..." I always use "all posts in the last 7days" feature and read every post. Now, I am having problems figuring out if I have read ervry post or not.

When you enter a forum, you can select DISPLAY OPTIONS. Unfortunately it is at the bottom of the screen. The choice is not saved.

If DISPLAY OPTIONS was incorporated into MY PREFERENCES, a lot of time would be saved.

OK, everyone....

Go to "My Stuff"
Then to "My Preferences"
Then set things the way you like them.
You can turn off the right column entirely, that's how I have it too.

The looking up of items over the Past 24-48 Hours 7 days is under Active Topics

Let Doug know how you want the main page to go - it's completely customizable w/ left and right (though no top/bottom).

Martin, there is a way to set it so when you click on a thread, it starts with the origional post. And it works for the current session in forums you haven't opened yet.

Then when I log back on, that's slipped. Or rather, the preference is still set that way, but the forum is again going to the most recent post not the starting post.

I don't get it. It looks like it should be working the old way, and it isn't.

In "my stuff" there is this option:
By default should anything added to your Watch Lists be emailed to you?

Does this mean that when someone replies to a thread I should be getting a notification by email?
I am not getting any notifications at all.

I think that's actually OFF at the admin level.

Like this post, for example. I did not get a notification.
Do folks here get notifications if a person replies to their post?
