Back Button to Unread Watched Threads

[rocketman29]

On the old software, using the back button to get back to the "unread watched threads" page showed a refreshed copy of that page. This software does not.

It is extremely convenient for those with back buttons on their mouse.

If I go to a thread that only has a few posts (i.e. doesn't have additional pages) it used to be so nice to just hit the back button to a refreshed page that doesn't include the thread I just read.

Please, if you get time, look into a fix.

Part of the reason this software makes the website faster is because it caches a lot of stuff instead of doing queries to the database every time. I understand the need for this on a site as large and busy as this one.

I know it won't be as convenient as the mouse button, but I put a link on my bookmarks toolbar to take me straight to Unread Threads. This gives me a fresh copy every time.

Or you could click on the 'New Posts' link on the top of the page. If you have scrolled or paged down and don't want to scroll or page all the way back up to the top, just use the 'Home' button on the keyboard.

I miss it too, but as KattMamma pointed out, it makes for faster server responses. The solution I came up for myself is after hitting the back button on the mouse, I then click the scroll wheel for a refresh.

Same if you go to alerts then the watched threads/forum OR surprisingly, if you post on a thread, even if your post is the only 'unwatched' post.

When I'm on a page with search results (including New Posts) I always open up links in a new page / tab to avoid a reload, so it doesn't bother me since my experience is the same.

Unread watched threads and forums are suffering from the 'global thread' - 'mark forum read' is getting a work out. Can't wait for the 15M post

42k to go!

and i'm still waiting for an answer to a question i posted days ago .....

are the lounge, classifieds etc posts included in the total post counts?

They don't count towards your "personal" count, but yes, they do count towards site totals.

thanks! glad to know that our 'social' contributions are helping propel ecf toward the 15 million post - and a good chunk it is

I see 'ignoring global forums' and 'ignoring global threads' still shows 'unread' on any forum
