New Posts Link - Like it?

**StoneChucker** · 6th September 2006, 19:15

What do you think of the change to the New Posts link, the one that now brings up a sub menu asking if you want "New Posts" or "New Bike Posts"...

Personally, I sometimes click it just before I do something else, and then come back to find it still waiting for me to say that yes, I really do want to see new posts. Surely we can look in the forum category column to see if a post is in a bike category, or if it is in others like rave on, site stuff, etc... so we know what content we are looking at?

Also, it's quite probable that people may mis-file a new thread, and then have it missed because people click new bike posts and it isn't included. We've done a pretty good job of scanning what we want to read up till now in my opinion. What say you savage?

I'm not too keen on it to be honest. It's like extra work... too many choices.

Do you want fries with that?

I agree SC.

Thought I was the only one who was clicking it and going off, only to come back and it still be waiting.

To be honest I haven't even bothered with the bike option. I do my own filtering as to what I do and don't want to read.

I just want to know which forums it's checking. Can't seem to find that info anywhere...

Well just to be contrary - I use the RSS feed ... so I don't really give a toss.

there is room for 2 "buttons" and I use both so my preference is to put both on the bar.

Huh? There is room for two buttons because the two were added as a new feature... It wasn't vacant space or anything. Also, if it was wanted, you could add a button for every category in the sub-menu that drops down when you click the new posts link...

When it was first added I immediately thought it would be good for those people who only want to read "bike" related threads. I clicked on the new option just to try it out but because I enjoy reading both bike and non-bike related forums the old format suited me fine.

First thought it a hassel to have an extra click from the 'New Posts' link.

Then started clicking on 'Bike posts' only for a while.

But now, I hate to think poeple are talking about me behind my back

so prefer to filter everything myself. So Yes, it's a hassle to click twice!
