It did that when the new software was first installed but the ISTech graphic is a lot bigger now and it doesn't do that for me anymore. It would be helpful to know the following info:

1. What operating system?
2. What web browser?
3. What screen resolution?
4. Did you increase the font size?

I ask all of that because so long as the news text is less height than the ISTech graphic you should get no jumping.

WOW, nicely done Cheesy

Is there a way to make the "new post" text on the main and forum pages, a brighter color? Say like a red or something. Might make it a bit easier to notice new posts, other than that, that's the only suggestion I have at this stage. LOVE the new look -- and it's more "comfortable" to use, as it mirrors other forum layouts.

WOOHOO, I got an e-mail notification about this reply!!!!

Okay, on the Home Page, when a topic has a new post, the Last Post column shows a bold, Today, Yesterday, or the most recent date. It might be a bit more "attention grabbing" if that text was in, say Red or something -- especially the Todays, or Yesterdays.

Also, is there a view to show just the topics that have had new posts, since the last login? It's just a question, but there are one or two forums that I frequent that do that -- it's very affective for quick browsing of active topics.

Well, I suppose that would be possible to do. I'm not sure whether it's going to happen right now but it's something to keep in mind.

It doesn't seem like there is such a view. However, you can mark all topics viewed when you visit the forum and then when you come back later it will show you which boards have new posts and if you click on the board you'll see which topics have new posts. But no way of automatically seeing JUST the one's with new posts.

That's something I was looking for, but haven't found it yet....?

undecided

Under the "Last Post" column, the post listed as "IN:yada yada" is a link to that post. Very nice. Much better than jumping to the thread and having to scroll to get to the post. Especially if you're like me and don't notice the multiple pages right off.
