New site updates are now live!

[MikeE3]

Yeah... That is the partial Work-Around I am using now. But then I loose the Info on Who has Replied and when. As well as other Thread Info.

I would like them to put the Filters Options onto the Watch Threads list like it was before.

This Update is Supposed to make things Better. And Hopefully Attract More People because it is Easier to Use than what we were using before.

Once you set the filters as I described. Then to get a 'better' list of watched threads w/ more info display.

Click on Watched Threads from the drop down list when clicking the Forums drop down.

The filters you set stay in effect but you'll get a list of watched threads that looks like this, showing the thread pages, last post time, who posted it, who started it, # views. etc.

Odd (to me at least) that there are two places you can click on watched threads and each give a different view.

Was wondering what the rating percentage represents and the significance of the number in the colored boxes. (green red and grey boxes at the bottom)
Is that perhaps archived data from the defunct since 2016 "Itrader" system?


Thank you
Cheers
I

Yes, the old Itrader stuff

green box is number of positive feedback, red negative.

surprised though that joker is still showing as admin and with a 100% positve rating. afaik he never finished that coop he took over or returned the additional monies he collected.

Yea...sigh...I will see about getting that badge removed.

Edit - and I got it done

The Goal for Me is to have the Ability to Just See Unread Threads in My Watched Threads List.

I Don't Know Any Way to do it. It seems like such a Simple Feature. Something I took for granted in the Old Version.

Then check this two boxes. Then only the unread watched threads will be shown.

I have. It works on the Thread List Page.

But Not on the Watched Threads Page. There isn't even an Option to Display those Filters on the Watched Threads Page,

At Least Not for Me.

@zoiDman
I just looked...
For me in watched threads, if there is a new post there is a red dot to the left of the thread title...is that what you are looking for ?

My bad, it's been awhile since I had the unread content checked I thought it worked from both places you can click on threads.

From here both filters work and I get unread/unwatched threads only. But it's not the full display of thread information.

But from here even with both filters still checked, I get all my unwatched threads, read and unread.

Now I get the point you are trying to make. I was throwing you a curve ball, sorry. I wonder if 'its' working as designed or if this is a bug.

@classwife (I'd tag the other person too but forget who it is). Do you think this might be a bug? Or working as designed?

I'd Really Like the Ability to Not Display Read Threads. It was such a Simple things to turn the Display On/Off in the Old Version.

And Many Places here you can Filter Lists to Only Display Unread Threads. But Not in Watched Threads for Some Reason?

I really don't knwo this system yet - @alexj-12 will have to back read and give you the answer / help

I assume you saw my post just before yours where I have screen shots showing just what you are talking about.

No Worries.

If I Recall Correctly, in the Last Version it Wasn't a "Canned" Feature to be able to Display/Not Display Read/Unread Threads in the Watch List.

But when the Roll Out was done and the Thread like this one got going asking people for Possible Functionality Improvements , someone said "Wouldn't it be Cool if we have the Feature to NOT Display Read Threads in our Watch List. And we All went Yeah! That would be Very Cool!

Then Someone from the Code Team said that would be Easy. But it would have to be Hand Coded. And about 20 Minutes Later, Bingo Bango, the Feature Appears.

So No. I Don't think it is a Bug. I think it is just something that Someone needs to Write. And I'm Not Sure if there is anyone left to do that or not?

I did find this...may be useful ?

"Users used to be able to show a list of only unread Watched threads.
It's been integrated as part of the new posts filter system, which can display only watched threads and threads in forums you watch"

When I go into Watched Threads, the drop down offers New Posts...select that.
On the right you now have Filters...select your choices...like Watched Content

That is Exactly how I would like my Watch list to look like.

Only Unread Threads, Full Info on Who Posted Last and Thread Stats. Ordered by Date. Great!

Now if I can just Find a Way to have that and the "New Post" Feature at the Same Time, I'd be Golden,

New Posts is Latest Activity in the bar at the top of the forum - so then you have both

OK... But Latest Activity Doesn't have an Unread Filter in the List.

I swear, it is like Trying to get 7 Cats into 6 Bags. All the while Re-Wicking a Coil!

LOL

No, it's a live feed section...every few minutes all the newest posts go in...it's continual

 

[ShowMeTwice]

Yep, new posts (Latest activity) are a live feed. It's basically a dynamic news feed. Very cool feature. I like it a lot.

Posts show up as a user adds one in whatever thread across ECF.

If you open 'Latest activity' and monitor it you will see posts appear in real time.

the filters work for 'New Posts

But not 'Watched Threads'

On the Watched Threads you have a red dot before the thread title that signifies there are unread posts in the thread.
No red dot, no new posts

Yes, the old Itrader stuff

If the current numbers displayed are static and not dynamic, perhaps a badge could be created to recognize the long standing "Itrader" reputation earned by some of our most trusted and, generally, highly revered members.

Is there a plan to update the system to include members added after the end of the "Itrader" days? (2017-present)

Thank you @classwife
