uscmCorps Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Frequently when I'm viewing the "AirsoftNews" Subforum on here, I occasionally prefer to view the forum according to last post rather than the default setting of Thread Creation order when I know there's no new threads that peak my interest. I know once you navigate to the Airsoft News Subforum, there's a link at the top that says "click here to view by last post". I also realize there's a sort order option at the bottom of the AirsoftNews Subforum that you can set to remember how you want the news sorted. The thing is, I don't always want to view the News Section one way or the other which is why I like the availability of the link at the top of the Airsoft New Subforum. I guess what I'm asking is, would it be possible to add a "Recent Posts" or "View by last posts" link underneath the AirsoftNews listing in the main forum index, so that a member can choose prior to entering the AirsoftNews Subforum whether they want to view by Thread Creation Order or Most Recent Posts Order? Like in the picture below?: Thanks for your consideration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Misfit Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Seems like this plug-in is what you want: http://www.ipbcustomize.com/iNV23-View-New...102-file99.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Uhhh, no its not. For one thing USMC can't install plugins to the forum, for another, that is almost completely unrelated to what he's suggesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) You are aware you can set it to remember how you like to view posts at the bottom of the page? Edited November 30, 2009 by Tinkerbell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For one thing USMC can't install plugins to the forum, for another, that is almost completely unrelated to what he's suggesting. I know, either Marlowe or Arnie would have to install it. It seems pretty much what he's suggesting though, rather than simply viewing all the latest posts across the entire forum, he can select the news forum and view all the latest posts in there. //Edit: Either that or I've got to stop posting at midnight.

uscmCorps Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 You are aware you can set it to remember how you like to view posts at the bottom of the page? Yup, I'm well aware of that. As I said in my initial post, I occassionally like to see the news forum in terms of latest posts ... but not always. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackisbad Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 In that case, do what tinkerbell says, but don't click on the little box below that that says "Remember These Options" and it will only change it for that time and the rest of the time it will keep it the default way.
