When I look at the portal page the topics listed are old 1-2 years, the posts on the right side are current

"Mark all read" not working for me, in "unread posts". Using Microsoft Edge on android. Alo can't figure out how to go directly to the unread posts.
I just figured out how to get to the newest post in a topic, click on the topic go to the bottom and select the most current page

That is actually when the topic was originally created. I have been looking to change that. But have no found anything.

My previous avatar was there yesterday but today is gone.
Not a complaint as I can find it, just an observation.
Not sure how the bell notification works - I had three “notifications” of a reply - none were to my posted and one was the same reply twice.
also can we get the auto scroll to the end of the page??? I keep having to scroll to the end to get to a current post.

The bell notifications stick around until you clear them. Is it possibly taking you to the first unread post, or you didn't clear the notification, so it's skipping the actual reply?
For the auto scroll, that seems to be working, but only after you've been into a particular thread already
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

How does one clear them besides clicking on the posts? For instance there was a bell notification you replied to this post. That makes sense.
Previously the bell notifications I clicked on brought me to posts that were not in reply to a post I made, and two of the notifications brought be to the exact same post - also not a reply to me. ?♀️

Was it because someone liked your post? I had the same thing happen to me. I clicked it and took me to another post, and I circled back to my post in that thread and noticed someone liked it.

Not sure as I can’t go back and look at the notifications once gone. I don’t think so tho, as two linked to gators post in the simple pleasures thread - which I didn’t post in last night, nor was he replying to me. I think the third was Davescharf’s subsequent post but I’m not sure. I dunno. I’m sure things will sort themselves out over time! But I’m old and it’s getting harder to teach an old dog new tricks as easily. ?

Click on the bell to drop down the list of notifications, bottom right of the drop-down "Clear All"
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
I think I may have an idea - I get notifications any time someone posts in the simple pleasures thread - I notice I am listed as the creator of that thread could that be why I’m getting all the notifications regardless of them not being a reply to a post of mine? @Jupiter?
This new format does seem to cater to smart-phone use, rather than desktop/laptop, IMO. Doesn't bother me, I just have to figure out the nuances.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
I just wanted to confirm that if you have entered a thread previously and enter again it takes you to the first new post! Very cool

Yep... 70% of the visits this year are from mobile devices. I am guessing quite a few of us use both mobile and desktop.

Thanks for the work on this Jup! This is going to be great.
I won't work my way up the user rating based on post very fast but that's ok. I think mine will mostly be threads during games.

There are still some things I need to look in to, but I am sorta taking the weekend off from that stuff. I’ll look more during work week evenings.

Oh… This is version 2 of the wpForo software and it was released just 3 weeks ago and they are still working out the kinks themselves. But I thought this software is way better than bbPress that the folks from WordPress themselves created.

GOLDEN (Those that have donated to GPL)
After not being able to block ads on the FORUM since the move to WordPress, I now have it running for those the are Golden. So those of you should not see ads on the Forum ONLY. From "20-Niner" to "Zwak". All 226 of you over the last 19 years. Though many are no longer participating, if they ever come back they will still be Golden.

REPUTATION
I tweaked these just a bit. Yes we still have a strange list of what they are called. But you get 1 point for topics and posts and 3 for likes and -3 for dislikes.
Here are those "ranks"... If anyone has a better name for all these, let me know.

They are back with the new software, but it will not work if you upload them to the system. They must live on the internet somewhere. You can see that I put my avatar on the GPL server and you can link to anywhere on the internet. OR if you do not have that, I can upload it to the GPL server if you want and then send you a link so you can set it up.

Maybe it would be confusing, or maybe it is just a bad idea from me, but any thoughts about naming the levels after former Gopher greats? Mayasich would be the top one, then maybe the Hobey winners, Broten, Stauber, Bonin, Leopold. Could also use Brooks, Woog, Micheletti etc. Just my 2 cents or less worth.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
I like that @frozen4champs .... Instead of "Trusted Member" it can be "Crowley Level" or something like that. We just need to figure out the top 10 levels.

With only 10 levels as well as a "New Member" level... Just could not fit him in.

@Jupiter out of curiosity, what does one have to do to get one of these “rankings”? I would think I’m above a new member but I don’t have any stars or badges on my account like everyone else seems to.

All fixed... I had to adjust some settings for a particular group.

GO TO FIRST UNREAD
This was not quite working the way we wanted to if the topic had more than one page. It would load page one, THEN forward to whatever page had the first unread. But... I reached out to the wpForo board and they gave me a small snippet of code that I could add that skips the page one part and will go to the first unread right away.
So this feature is BACK!!!

For topics, is there a way to show the last post time instead of when it was created? I was looking through threads on the message board 'home page' and drilled into the various category areas (other sports, general discussion, Gopher Men's Hockey, etc.) to see if there were any threads I missed on the Portal page. I know threads show "new" if I haven't viewed but from the old boards I always liked seeing how long ago the last post was submitted.

As of right now, no there is not. The portal page bit is a Widget from the software creator, so my hands are a bit tied with messing with it. Right now only the recent Posts area shows that.

When I just saw mine I thought the same thing. Guess we better start posting furiously to reach the next level. 😉
Appreciate all the work you've put into it Jup. The site keeps getting better and better, even if I did drop a level.
Loved that idea so much... I just went ahead and did it @frozen4champs. I tweaked the numbers it takes to reach each level as well.
Gotta be honest, looking through that list, it's about as close to perfect as could be. Well done yet again.
