Sidebar?

[Kodiak]

Billy Bob, I know you have been busting your butt to get this forum the best it can be and it is much appreciated.

But is there any way we can get the latest posts in a sidebar again? As it currently is, it is tough to find the latest postings.

Click on "Today's posts" near the top of the page.

Click on "Today's posts" near the top of the page.

Thanks never did that before, but according to that, my thread is the only post today. Besides this thread, all other posts were from yesterday, but at least it gets me somewhat current. I'm having a rough time with this new forum. I go to three others and every one is completely different.

Try it again. I just clicked on it and got two pages of new posts from today.

Ok, it took a while but I figured it out. It was saying yesterday because the default time zone had me at European time. Doh! I put it to Central Time Az is now in, and lists the posts as today.

Mystery solved, thanks again. But I do wish it was always on the side as other forums I'm used to. Oh well it works.

@Kodiak, if you click on the "Forums" that's directly to the left of "blogs", that'll give a front page with current threads running down the right-hand side of your screen. I think clicking on the pic of the Tea Party gives you the same result.

Yeah, that time zone thing had me screwed up for a while too.

[Kodiak]

Ok gang, I think I got it now that the time zone is correct and I can see if a post is recent or not.

Oh, and 2cent it does show the sidebar, but lists the thread starter, not the latest post. No big deal.

Yeah, nor what forum it's in, but oh well, can't have everything, eh? :wink:

I see that my name got highlighted when you used the @ feature, but not when I used it on you username in the "comment" feature. Hmm. I'll try it here: @Kodiak.

No workie. How did you get my username to highlight?

I didn't get/see any notification that you used the @ feature to get my attention. Am I missing something?

When you go to post someones name it will get highlighted along side it and you click on that. In your you may not have waited long enough for it to appear. Cant remember if I used the @ symbol or not but think I did.

What will get highlighted? The name? And alongside what? The @ feature? And you click on what? Sorry, I'm lost.

Scroll up to my post #9. Your name is not highlighted next to the @. ???

A little rectangle with the name will pop up next to the one you are writing. Thats what it did for me anyway.

I assume it didn't work for you because you put a period after my name

Kodiak ..aha! Your name showed up, I clicked on that, and viola! there 'tis, along w/your avatar. The action worked. (Why is it that every time I learn some new feature, I feel like I just invented some life-saving medicine? Eureka! I did it! LOL.)

Thanks for your patience. I wish that we got some notificaiton, though. Do you?
