As a regular on-topic contributor and reader, I'm finding the "New Posts" option painful these days. Often a large number of new posts are in the lounge. It's great that there is a place for off topic discussion, but it's bloody frustrating that it gets in the way of finding out what's new on-topic.

I'd love to see an option to see all new posts, excluding the lounge, so I can quickly scan new posts that are on-topic rather than having to wade through a bunch of titles related to politics, religion, sex, brazilian waxing and whatever tickles people's fancy.

Alternatively, if the new posts could be grouped by forum it would make it easy to ignore whole sets of new posts if I'm not interested in that particular forum.

Good idea but it's been suggested before and turned down.

 

Well it sounds like Ryan is keen to make some improvements... so (begging) please can we have this

 

I also like that idea.

 

Please please please?

Best suggestion Ive read so far.

Excellent idea.

Or have two "new posts"...one for the lounge, one for everything else.

 

Great idea!

 

I think it's a great idea ... I never turned it down

 

In the meantime... Bookmark this link for new posts excluding the Lounge:

(Where "4" is the forumsID number for the Lounge. You can exclude multiple forums with commas between the forumID numbers)

 

Clyde, Thanks.

Are other search options documented somewhere that you could point me to?

Is there a way to search for new posts and get a list of thread names with new postings vs the longer list of new posts?

 

Sorry, don't have anything else...that's just something I picked up at another vB powered forum where I spend way too much time.

 

cool thanks man.
