PSA: Board settings (XP to a couple places)

Once in a while I tell people this because there always seem to be a few people who don't know :) If you go down to the bottom of the page under the list of posts, there is an area where you can change your settings.  The way the Nest/Bump is set by default is, frankly, kinda stupid and not the way most message boards work. 

Many people (like me) find they prefer to change it so that the posts are sorted by which one has the most recent replies (as opposed to sorting by the original post date) and/or to have it hide posts you've read, rather than showing all the posts.

If you set it to hide topics you've read, don't worry--it doesn't mean that thread will be gone forever. As soon as there's a new reply to that topic, it will appear back at the top of the list. :)

Re: PSA: Board settings (XP to a couple places)

  • That's funny - I hadn't been on the IN board in awhile and was going to ask which way most people have it sorted (as it tends to change the conversation style a little if everyone's sorting by last post and I wanted to be as hip as everyone else haha)  I sort some of the other boards by last post esp since many members do & it's easier to keep up then.

  • I did not know this. So mine are all sorted by original post date, obviously. For the posts that interested me, I would just try to remember either how many replies there were last time I checked or who was the last to reply. Re-sorting would be much easier on my memory ;-) Thanks for the tip!

  • I never knew that either! I did think it was weird the way it was set up and had never come across a board set that way before.

    And I'm loving your new siggy picture of MiniBini!!!

  • I didn't know that!  Thanks :)
  • So now whenever I refresh I get a message from Firefox saying it needs to resend the info. Never got that message when I had the posts sorted the other way. Is that normal? Not a big deal, but it's an extra click...

    Clicking to another board and then clicking to IN again (use links on the left not the back button) should fix that.
