Hello fellow Mooniacs!


I have added some of the features you requested.


1) Jumping to new posts!  This was the #1 request.  I implemented it so that when you are looking at the list of topics in a forum it will say "Jump To New" with a red arrow icon to the right of the topic title.  This will take you to the first post since the last time you opened this topic.  I am not sure the best way to do this but as it stands now when you open this topic in any fashion it sets your last view date to the current time and going back and loading the list of topics will clear the "jump to" option.  I could see where some might like this and some may not (hece the poll above).  The other alternative would be to store the date/time that you login and base all the checks for "new posts" in a topic on this.  The downside to this is that if you are logged in for a long time these links would not update to posts happening during your session.


2) Forum navigation at bottom of topic.  Now with long pages of posts you will see navigation links at the bottom of the page as well as the top.  Saves on scrolling!


3) "Remember Me" logins.  You can now store your login in a cookie so that you don't have to login each visit.  Use at your own risk - this is not exactly online banking - so I don't see a huge security risk Wink


Thanks to all for your patience and keep the feedback coming!

1)  The members list does not remember the sort order if your go to the next page.  It reverts to the "Date Joined" sort order.


2)  How about starting a forum dedicated to problems, comments and suggestions regarding the website?  I was not sure where to post the comment in 1) above because it did not fit any of the existing forum titles.
