View Full Version : "24hrs time-format" & "go to the first unread post"?

There are two items I can't find in the forum-settings:

1- I would very much like to use a 24 hrs time notation instead of the AM/PM-time. Being used to the 24hrs-format, using AM/PM means I always have to think twice;

2- On going to a thread I would like to automatically jump to the first unread post. Now I have to do that by clicking on "go to....", which is an unneeded extra and extra time-consuming operation.

Could these options be incorporated?
Or maybe the options are there, but I don't seem to be able to find them.

LOL, Yep, that's what I said:

i cant really see where the problem lies as i read several hundred replies / threads daily and it takes a microsecond to navigate to the last reply in the thread.

however if your still hung up on this, go here

scroll down to
Thread Display Options and change the Thread Display Mode: option to
linear - newest first then save those options.

So do I. And in every case it's an extra operation that takes time. And clicking and waiting is not just a microsecond........;)
It would just be nice to have that option (as most forumsoftware has).

well if you read my previous reply properly you would have noticed that i did indeed include instructions on how to change that option. but as i said i read several hundred threads daily on well over 30 forums and the time it takes me to navigate to the last reply is negligible. i cant really imaging any ones life being so busy a extra second or less would make such a huge difference to them.

the button beside the thread title should do what you want.

I think that'd cause more problems tho ... Think about it, waking up half asleep going toilet, and there's a loo cover on ... mess all over the place :p
