I'm sure this is something trivial, but in looking up a new member, seen earlier (newest member)and know his work well (DrmDoc) to send a welcoming message to (accomplished), the page number option did not work. I place a number in the box, entered and it went back to page one. If there is no cost involved, you might consider having a user name option on page one, where a poster can enter and go directly to that poster, either in the members list or directly to the profile...

That's interesting. For some page numbers, it works. For others, it doesn't. I may have to submit a support request about that.

You can use "Use advanced filters" to search by name and so on in the mean time.

Does it really? I got completely random results when I tried to search for 41,000. The old search tool had lots of options. I could make it search only in selected subfora, look only for posts by a particular user, have it report results either as posts or as threads. I can't even find an advanced search tool with this new scheme.

You know, now that you mention it, I'm going to install a new search system that promises to make search results actually sorted by relevancy, instead of the usual sorted-by-date crapshoot where you get every topic where your search words were posted in completely different posts on four different pages.

Hope it works.

I really miss the topic preview on mouse-hover. Yes, I know about the hidden-until-mouse-over "click for preview" icon -- took me a while to discover that, by the way. That extra click for a preview just annoys me. Every other forum I visit regularly has a hover for preview feature.

In the search results (like View New Content), can the characters allowed for thread titles be increased? You did this in the old version, and it was very helpful, but we're again experiencing truncated titles in the search results since the upgrade. Thx.

Can we have a "jump to: /insert forum here" somewhere on the page? I see a thread search but not a "jump to" section that would enable the user to navigate the forums without having to jump to the main forum page...it would be a time saver.

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

When viewing a topic, go just below the last post and just above the Fast Reply box, on the right in the light blue bar. There's a drop-down forum chooser there.

[divagreen]

I see it...thank you!

I wish for a "View Latest Content" function, maybe replacing the "View New Content" function — or maybe a "View ??? Content" and pick Latest, Unread, etc from a menu.

[Mr Skeptic]

Well there's the "active content", all the latest posts of the day. Hard to find though, it is way at the bottom. Or, you can log out, click view new content, and then log in or bookmark the page.

Yes, we do need better lists of our content.

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

If you go to My Settings you can choose to have View New Content give you all unread posts, regardless of when you last visited. It seems to occasionally mess up and lose everything, though.

And, what about this one?

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

I'm trying to figure out how to do that. At the least, I'll make the tooltip contain the full title instead of "View result".

Hi. i experience a strange behaviour with my notifications. When I get 2 or more notifications, and when I go to have a look a one of these, automatically the counter goes back to zero (the little number next to my profile's name up right in the SFN banner). Why that?

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

That's the way it's designed. Once you view the list, the number of unread notifications goes to zero. It still keeps the history of notifications, so you can go back and check ones you didn't get to check.

Apparently it's really hard to take a "someone quoted your post" notification and determine exactly when you view their reply.

Midterms in September? Are you done at the end of October, or did you start in July/August?

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Most courses here have three evenly spaced exams, then a final at the end of the semester. My courses seem to place their exams all during the same week.
