Jeru Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I usually use the "View new posts" button to browse the forums. I'm particularly interested in recent developments in the 0 A.D. forums, with WFG community chit-chat threads and TLA developments lagging far behind. I am not interested at all in reading staff members' progress reports on a regular basis.Unfortunately, with the recent incorporation of the progress reports into the forums, I have had to browse through lots of progress reports I don't care to see on the "New posts" list. The problem has worsened now with the forum merger, and I cannot find any forum function that can help me browse the way I was used to.It would be really nice if there were some usage profiles at my disposal - Especially "View new 0 A.D. posts" - Or if there was a list of options where I could filter out what I don't want to see on the new posts list (like a "progress reports" box I could uncheck").Thanks for your time and attention.

akya Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 yep, either that, or make the new posts appear in different sections...WFG new posts-bla-bla-bla0.A.D new posts-bla-blablaTLA new posts-well, you get the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 (edited) I say a filter would be an excellent idea :( Perhaps that shapp be added to Timon's TODO list.....? Edited October 30, 2004 by Black Op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Akya's idea is exactly what I have been hoping for.... The results sorted by category first - WFG, TLA, 0 A.D. - then by chronology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 If my input is appreciated, why has nobody from the forum development team given a reply to this thread? Would it have been better to post the thread in a more frequented forum where it doesn't belong to get a reply?

CodeOptimist Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I'm not sure why you haven't gotten a response here yet... I'm not experienced enough in PHP to offer an educated answer (or guess), but I'll try to flag Tim down if possible. I like the idea - filters are always great when working lists of anything.

Centurion_13 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I doubt it would be that hard. although I only know a little so my statement is rather uneducated but it is a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Already added to my TODO list. Will look at it this weekend or the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
