Good catch. That might be it.

Re: Search
I have not read more than this page on this subject, but I gather there is some dissatisfaction with finding things using Search. You have to right click on Search then Open (or Open in New Window) to get the old style Search window and then the correct results in chronological order. Same with New Posts.
If this suggestion is totally off topic, forgive me and just ignore.

Or click Search>Advanced search. Gets you to the same place Welshjim takes you to.

I am using IE 6.x. I click on the link that I get in the email. If I pasted the link into my browser, I would expect it to take me to the top of the page but when Nix or whomever posts something to a thread, I expect the link to take me to his post. Instead, I am having to scroll down and read-scan to find where the begining of the new posts are starting with Nix's post. This is frustrating and time-consuming.

I have not mentioned this before because I thought that it might shake out in a couple of days since the software update. No such luck.

Leurgy,

Even if there were ten people who had posted afteer Nix's post, the email link should take me to Nix's new post or at least that is the way that it used to work. That is not how it is working now.

I appreciate your help and suggestions.

Cheers,

Linda

Yeah just click the link in the drop down.

LindaHewitt--

I am using IE 6.x. I click on the link that I get in the email

Not sure I understand the reference to email, but if you get a link (in a post or email), it could be to the whole thread or it could be to a specific post. You make the link specific to a post by right clicking on the message number (top right of the individual message box)|Copy Shortcut. Then paste into a post (or email).
Example: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...&postcount=334
Compared to
http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...d.php?t=184340

Even if there were ten people who had posted afteer Nix's post, the email link should take me to Nix's new post or at least that is the way that it used to work.

I am not clear whether this is repeating the concerned addressed in the above paragraph, or whether it is another issue, perhaps covered in my post #332 above.

Regardless if you click on the link or paste it into the address bar it will take you to the same place.

Click or paste the link that ends with "newpost". That's the one that takes you to a specific post.

[LindaHewitt]

This is the URL that I received in the email notification message.

http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...7&goto=newpost

I clicked on this URL but this is where it took me.

http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...014#post931014

which is top of the page.

So I pasted in this URL with the ending of newpost:

http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...7&goto=newpost

but this is the URL of the page.

http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...018#post931018

and this URL took me to the correct place in the thread.

I have always clicked on the link in the email message and it took me to the correct place in the thread. Why is that process not working now since the upgrade?

Cheers,

Linda

I have no idea. How is IE configured? Do you have activeX or scripting disabled?

I apologize if that has been listed before, but scanning 17 pages of replies is quite a task... (guess I just started page 18...)

Could the columns "VIEW" and "REPLIES" be added to the SUBSCRIBED THREADS display?
It shows when selecting via USER CP, but not when using the Quick Link.

It would help.

Thanks,
KGG

KGG, I cannot remember either and if some one else does not we'll run it down.

Great. Thanks.

Hmm whilst we're there if you go to UserCP http://discussions.virtualdr.com/usercp.php? and the HP ad is displayed and click on quick links or search the drop down list shows up behind the HP ad (in FireFox) - oops

Edit: Hmm it works ok in IE 5.5 so must be a FireFox issue

[poppy4]

It doesn't work properly in either IE5.01 nor FFox 1.02 on my pc...gday nix.
