[Helen Grose]

Hi all
Just want to say I think the forum is easier than it was well done to

Dot is such a shrinking violet...
Luv Ya Dottie!!!

Yeh, the new look is clean & spiffy...
But we now have to go to the menu on the left then select 'Unread Posts'.
Useter be available on the right with a single click.
As that's the selection 99.9% of Forum members will be after immediately they log in, can we please have that one back as a stand-alone option?
Pretty please?

I've been looking into the 2 requests that you & others have mentioned.
The structure of the forum software (phpBB) is totally different now than what the old forum ran.
Does anyone have knowledge of where I can alter the code?
I have a bit of an idea but I don't wish to cripple the forum if I can avoid it.

NC George might be of assistance, he has been to forum school.

Ray,

Really?

One extra click?

Give it time mate, eventually it will be as automatic as wiping ya bum & you won't even hafta think about which hand ya gonna use.

As more and more forums move to this latest update the default will be to start at the left top of the screen, just like reading a book. I think it's a great innovation, a one click index in a drop down menu. As for the transition to the new style, well done Bruce, silky smooth and much faster now

I didn't do anything after the change over - at least I can't remember doing anything! (Insert Dot's comment here)
My opening page is still 'Unread Posts' .

If you go to unread posts via the top LH menu then save the page to favourites you only have to click on that favourite to take you straight to Unread Posts. I very rarely see the index page. However, at the moment I do have to go to the index to Mark Forums Read.
