Gravy covered Baboon anyone ?
What ERuby said . Seriously , it only takes a few seconds to scan . Unless someone revives a necrothread , all the current action will be on first page , occasionally second page . ( I do this the first time I log on each day .)
Hey, I write software that runs some pretty big hairy web sites with a lot more going on than even a complex forum. Half of my reason looking for a single-click query that avoids paging over idle items looking back through time for updates ones is: because I know it’s a common action probably done thousands of times a day, and it’s more efficient to have a canned procedure that has a lighter touch on the underlying database server.
So, this software doesn’t quite get there - that’s fine! Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something obvious. No problems here - just have to remember to do a lot of subscribing.
Click the search button, type your username in, then hit the search now button. All new activity will be at the top, while threads that had no activity will be listed below the active threads.
If you jumped around that will be the case. Weed through all the bold titles and you'll eventually see where I'm going with it.Well, that's another way to dig for threads I'm in, but in checking it just now, I don't see any distinction between threads I've already read to completion, and those that have new activity. Alas, neither sorting by date nor relevance float just the updated-since-you-read-them-last threads to the top.
