How to read the newest messages since last login

Posted on 05/20/2002 at 23:17:59  |  Report Abuse |  0

To read the newest messages since you were on the forum you must be logged in and have Cookies enabled on your browser and they must not be deleted from the last time you were online - some browsers are set to delete cookies upon exit.

If cookies are enabled, to view the newest topics since your last visit, just click Active Topics in the upper-right of the screen.

Once at that screen, there will be a couple of options. You can view topics from your last visit or the last two hours, day, week, month, etc. Also, you can reload the page at intervals of one minute, five minutes, and more. This way, if you keep the screen open during the day you will be able to see the newest topics and responses as they are posted.

Happy posting!

Wow 2 years - Hi admin

I need to know more

I know how to view topics from last visit. How for the last 2 hours, dy, week, month. What means it to reload the page?at intervals?

Not too smart here

Underneath the advertisement on the left side of the Active Topics screen is a pop-down menu. If you click it, it will display the different intervals such as 2 hours, yesterday, this week, etc.

Straight over to the right is a second pop-down menu that probably reads, "Don't reload automatically." You can change that. When the page reloads, it will display all the Active Topics with any posts that may have happened since the last time you viewed the page.

Benedict

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.I was having an awful time keeping more than two active topics up and I was forgeting where I posted a few hours ago.

I would kiss you if I could reach you. Best can do

Now to see, is there a spot that allows me to bring up my own posts? I can do without that now, just a question.

Thank you so much

Freya,

You can click on your name and go to your profile for the 10 most recent posts. (You can do that for any member) Also, you can use the Search feature and limit it to a member. You just have to come up with a good word you remember from the post and do a search.

Admin may have a way to pull up all of your posts, but I don't know of it. (I've seen this feature on other boards and it is excellent.)
