Topic: New post and latest post!

I am not sure this is a bug or a feature request.

I visit this forum and start view the new posts that have the blue square hightlighted after I read the first post and go back all the blue square highlighted is now grey out but I have not read them yet

The show all un-read post is good but because of the above reason it is not useable so is there a way to have a button or link to click on to show all message that post since x number of hours like 4hrs, 8hrs, 12hrs, 24hrs, 1week, 2weeks, etc.

It is very hard to try to keep up with the posts with the above issue.

Thanks

Hi Chanh,

PunBB 1.3 will address this with a revamp of the post indicators.

What I do is this:
a) Click 'Show new posts since last visit'
b) Click '[ New posts ]' next to each topic to get to the latest posting
c) Hit the back button so I can go the next topic

That's about it, pretty simple and it works really fast.

Hey Bert,

You are one of the gang here, huh!

Thanks for the tips.

I have been trying to understand PunBB but not having very good luck on learning more about PunBB features and possibly integrate with other CMS.

I found Punbo which is a very good attempt but it made so much modifcations to PunBB code that it will be hard to do upgrade when PunBB release new version.

I am looking for some way in PunBB that allow using external authentication and disable PunBB's own authentication.

Any tips on that?

PS: I did that but now the post stay as "New" even I already read it.  It is so confusing!

Thanks

With PunBB 1.3, we'll have extensions, so that mods would not be neccessary.

As for external authentication, it's a scratch your own itch kind of thing. It's on a per project basis, Nucleus, Coppermine, Mambo, Textpattern, etc.
