Search for New Posts EDITED
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 4:42 pm
Hi David / Shirley
One tool I find invaluable in reading phpBB forums is the ability to search for new posts. I use this on a number of forums on a daily basis. Once you are up to date, you can easily see anything new every day, and keep up to date that way.
When you switched to the current version of the forums, this ability went away. Have you disabled this capability? There may be two reasons for this:
1) I don't think the forum is remembering my login, as I have asked it to. Therefore, it won't allow the new post query, because I am not logged in.
2) The new post search is disabled.
The bookmark I would store, for your site, is:
http: //photoclubalpha.kilpatrickmedia.net/forum/search.php?search_id=newposts (had to put a space after the colon to get it to display properly).
As I say, this method with the /search.php?search_id=newposts suffix works on other phpBB V2 and V3 sites.
I see that if I login, there's a New Posts button, so it's not really an issue.
