Don't you guys have a development environment to "play" in rather than go fumbling around in the dark in the production version?

I like to think of it as a set of special surprises for me. Every time I visit, I could find everything looking different. Keeps me on my toes.
that would be ok if the changes were positive, but the "New Posts" menu link in my FF8 is still AWOL :lol:.
I doubt very much any of my clients would be happy if I started tinkering around on their live websites and making it more cumbersome for their visitors to navigate around on ;)
That's why for commercial websites I always, without exception, make changes to code in a development environment and then upload them when they are working correctly :)
I just checked the source - the new posts link is commented out. Why? It's the most handy link in the entire forums? :)
Could be because they're working on a problem with that page and don't want us all complaining that there's something wrong with it...:)Quote:

It was the same link as the What's New link, so it was redundant.Quote:

so is the "New Posts" link not coming back?
Like immerse said, it's the most handy link on the site :)
How else can you get a list of "new posts" all on 1 page like we used to?
Like I said, but clicking "What's New?" They were always one and the same link, so there's no point having it twice. And it's handy having fewer links in the menu. As I understand it, the What's New link is the forum default, and the New Posts link was added by SP just because is used to be there, but there's not reason not to use the one in the main menu.Quote:

Thanks for clearing it up - I'm happy now :)
I probably just wasn't being clear. But your assumption about what "What's New" might lead to is probably a good reason to change it to "New Posts" anyway, as it is pretty vague. :)
If they're worried about redundant links, they can remove "My Profile" or "[username]" links. They both go to the same place.
lolz, I hadn't ever actually noticed that link... :DQuote:

Sarah, why do posts I read disappear from the Whats New section? Why doesn't the link just change color like before? Is this a bug?
No it's a global forum setting only @HAWK (and other SPHQ staff) can change. It was set to this setting because the previous setting was too buggy.Quote:

I agree that it's slightly annoying that the posts disappear from "what's new", but you'll get used to it (at least I did, I can't speak for others of course).
A bug I've just noticed is that the "latest unread post" icon for global stickies (in the forum index) doesn't work as it should, and just drops me at the original post each time.

Yeah, it drives me nuts too, but you do sort of get used to it. Sometimes I want to go back to a thread I just posted in and can't find it (if I can't remember which forum it was in). At least you can go into your My SitePoint area and then click Subscriptions.
I think that BBcode is not working properly... [jumpto] doesn't seem to work at all.
How come I can't delete messages in my private inbox ?
You should be able to. I can. Do you see a check box to the right of each item in you inbox? If co, you should be able to click on the box to select messages, then at the bottom right you can choose to delete the selected messages.Quote:
