  • How to view previous posts and threads

    Robert, mostly, and anybody else chime in if they know:

    I have no idea how to go back in time to previous posts and comments.
    The home page on UKSB displays the last 17 threads with recent comments, down the left hand side of the screen.

    How do you get back to number 18 and back from there?

    Is there a "View older comments" or similar button that is not showing up in my browser?

    Simon.

    Hi Simon

    The forum index is the best way to locate older posts mate.

    If a new post is made in a forum it will show a grey icon with red NEW in the icon.
    This indicates NEW or UNREAD content within the forum Index.
    When you click into the actual forum, it will show again, all the NEW or UNREAD content within that forum.

    Alternatively, right tight to the top of the index list, you will see the following text links to show only the following:
    • View unanswered posts
    • View unread posts
    • View new posts
    • View active topics

    However, if you click into any forum, at the top of the list in "text" it will give you the option to
    • Mark topics read
    this will wipe them all clean and only show NEW from here on.

    hope this helps explain a bit better… there is actually more options that can be found within posts and threads to follow replies etc but cant think where at the moment. :lol1: :lol1:
