New Posts - V - Todays Posts?
I just replied to the thread (Close up photo question).
If I search forum by 'New Posts' its not visible (well not on the first page) but if I search by 'Today's Posts' it's there. I do not really understand the differences between 'todays, latest, new etc Ian |

Re: New Posts - V - Todays Posts?
Your own posts won't show up in new posts.
Today's posts are just that. New posts are ones you haven't read.

Re: New Posts - V - Todays Posts?
That explains why I dont see my replies, presumably in New posts they will always be hidden from me?
I visit the forum, often several times in a day, what is the best shortcut (URL) I can have on the desktop that will take me straight to all the latest post? I missed out please, sorry. Ian |

Re: New Posts - V - Todays Posts?
I normally head straight for ‘user CP’ and any threads I’ve posted anything on show up there, then click new posts to see what else has been going on.

Re: New Posts - V - Todays Posts?
I cannot remember what the shortcut was when I was using XP and Windows 7 but it opened the forum with the all the 'most recent'? posts in time order. Whatever I do now seems to need more clicking and then (as I now know) dont see my replies.

Re: New Posts - V - Todays Posts?
To get posts from the last 7 days, latest first:-
https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...hp?do=getdaily ( https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/search.php?do=getdaily ) - Which is the 'Today's Posts' link copied from the 'Quick Links' dropdown. Cheers |

Re: New Posts - V - Todays Posts?
Thanks Trigon, that has worked.
I think is what I used originally but I now know there are differences in what the shortcut does depending on how the shortcut is 'copied' into the text box. What I thought would work is opening a page from the quick links menu item and then copying the address of that page. I think the page that opens though has slightly different details each day so when I first test the shortcut it looks fine, but then the next day fails. I copied the address you posted (the one between the brackets) after I found the link did not work. Thanks again Ian |
