    Don't like the WBF look and feel recently adopted

    I never have liked the WBF format where they hide threads that have been read, and display threads not read since the last visit. Of course I have a good reason for this dislike.

    The problem is it is too easy to lose track of a thread. Before this change, if a thread was read, the font title changed to indicate no new posts, but it still displayed under new posts. Now it disappears. On WBF there has been many times where I have read a thread, decided later I wanted to post to it, but couldn't find it. Who knows what forum it is in? The choice is either look in every forum for the thread, or just skip posting.

    Bud.......I rarely visit or post to WBF. I've been a member for three and a half years and only have 50 posts there.

    Thanks. I will try that. Maybe it doesn't bother others, but it bothers me when I want to reread or reply to a recent thread, and it has disappeared.

    Re: Don't like the WBF look and feel recently adopted

    I'm totally with Bud on this one; I found the previous "New Posts" menu to be just right, and this new one has the problems Bud mentioned. Yes, there are workarounds, but they are just that, workarounds. WBF and AVS do the same thing and it's just as annoying there.

    Re: Don't like the WBF look and feel recently adopted

    Actually I think think the same thing is happening on this site. If you reply to a post here it does not seem to always be moving to the top of "What's New" but it dies move to the top of "Activity Stream".

    But it appears that if no one responds in a topic after you have read it, it will not appear in the "New Topics" anymore, which is our objection (I think).

    Yes. New is new. Whether it has been viewed is irrelevant.

    LOL. Good point, but unfortunately not. However, I can easily demonstrate it. Go to any forum, create a new thread, go to New Posts, read the new thread, go to New Posts, and the new thread has disappeared. WTF! It is still new, why is it gone?

    Don't get me started on measurements and the measurement dictator moderator.

    Re: Don't like the WBF look and feel recently adopted

    I find the best hifi/music site interface is Steve Hoffman forum.

    Does not matter if you use a PC, iphone or Google Nexus or android phone , the site seems to auto correct itself so it always views perfectly.

    Try doing that with audioshark, WBF, audioasylum, audiogion or any other site and you get text so small you can't read it enlarge and you lose part of the screen view.

    Then again Hoffman does not have ads taking 1/3rd the screen space either so more real estate to play with.

    I understand the issue. "My point" if you go back to the OP he was complaining about this issue occurring on "WBF". I just pointed out it seems to be happening here too.

    So here are our two options for setting up new posts:

    1- It will disregard which posts belong to you or which posts you read and it will display all "updated" threads since your last activity time (ie last time you visited the forum.) When you visit a forum for a reason (eg. to read a PM) your last visit time will change and in your next visit you will only see new posts since your that second visit because that second visit would update your last visit time.

    2- It will keep track of the threads you read and it will display only threads that you haven't read regardless of your last visit time.

    Which way does everyone like?

    What changed? Didn't the "new posts" option used to display all new posts from a particular time (e.g., 00:00 GMT on the date of viewing?)

    Yes, and then members complained, so we went with #2.

    2- It will keep track of the threads you read and it will display only threads that you haven't read regardless of your last visit time.

    Which way does everyone like?
    I want to view stuff that's new since I last visited. I always click on new posts, and click on threads that interest me. Also, the audioshark view does not work well off the mobile.

    Hmm, thought I posted to this thread but can't find it now. Maybe I just hit go advanced.

    Yes, I vote leave with #2. I like the longer history I see. I can use the Activity Stream to get back to recent posts.

    LOL. You can't win either way.

    As I mentioned my objection is a thread 'disappears' after being read. Later if you want to return to it, but do not know which forum it is in, it can be difficult to find. I will try using the Activity option. I was so used to just using New Posts I never really looked at other options.

    Not really. Option #1 is (supposedly) new posts since your last visit (logon), not since a particular time (which is the way it used to be). There is no "option" to return to how the "new posts" worked a few days ago.

    Re: Don't like the WBF look and feel recently adopted

    I have had an account on WTB for about 4 years posted like 4 times only. Used to like AVS but the crowd is very aggressive. Currently I post and browse on Computer audiophile forum and Audiocircle. Just recently joined this one. SO im new here. but have been a long term poster on AVS. WTB forum is the worst in my opinion, moderators ban users easily had another friend who complained about that site. They delete posts all the time.

    Hi Mike, Thanks glad I can join the community.

    I must say on my network this forum loads the fastest for some reason. All the other forums are much slower.

    You burn bridges faster than an enemy that sees the troops rushing towards them. The "place to be" for you is any place that will have you. WBF was on a death spiral before you joined, your tornadic activity just helped increase the speed of the spiral.

    Here is where I insert a smiley face to make everything OK:
    Micro Seiki SX-8000 air bearing table, SME 312s arm, SME 3012R arn, Dynavector XV-1s cartridge, Lyra Etna SL cartridge, ARC Ref 3 phono stage, Otari MX-55 2 track R2R, Ampex 350 tape repros, Roon Nucleus Plus music server, HiFi Rose 150B DAC, ARC Ref 6, ARC Ref 75 with KT-150s, Parasound JC5 amp , JBL 4345 speakers, Viero Equilibro Level 3 speaker cables, and Definitive Technology Ref subs.
