It appears that by alligning the table to the left that you can put your comments in so that they sit to the right of the table. Unfortunately, from the above test posts it also appears that if you post more than one table (with different alignment settings) in your reply your tables and related posts may not line up.

When posting an announcement/website/thread link, instead of it reading like this,

http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20130405/pdf/42f2ydwl9wxvhl.pdf

How do I make it into the simpleer version that some people use of

'click here'

The 'click here' actually takes to the page, instead of using the monstrous length of the proper link.

 

[nulla nulla]

1. Put [url= in front of the thread.....

 

[nulla nulla]

2. put

]click here

after the thread...

 

[nulla nulla]

3. then put

[/url]

after ]click here

to close the instruction.

I had to split up the reply as the instruction kept converting to "click here"

good luck

The 'click here' actually takes to the page, instead of using the monstrous length of the proper link.

To make it a bit easier to understand this example uses spaces to show the entire link. Just delete all the spaces except the ones each side of "click here" and you can see how it works.

[ url=http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20130405/pdf/42f2ydwl9wxvhl.pdf][/url] click here. [ /url]

and you get this

There is a complete list of BB code tags here: https://www.aussiestockforums.com/help/bb-codes

The section that details what you would like to do is "URL Hyperlinking".

Hope that helps.

 

[Country Lad]

I will try it again, my edits to make correction just wouldn't stick. Let's see how this goes.

[ url=http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20130405/pdf/42f2ydwl9wxvhl.pdf] click here. [ /url]

Just delete the 2 spaces inside the brackets and you can see how it works to get this

click here.

Hi there

Sorry for the potentially silly question, but ASF behaves quite differently to a number of other forums I am a member of. Take the following example:

1. I login to the forum
2. Let's say threads A, B and C have new content which I haven't read as yet. These appear in bold
3. I read threads A and B but leave C for later
4. I log out
5. The next day I log in and new content has been added to thread D

On the other forums I have used, both C and D would appear as bolded threads (ie both threads that have content which I have not read). On ASF, only thread D would appear as bold meaning if I didn't remember I had not read thread C, then I would forget to go back and read it.

Is there any way to change the default setting of ASF to my preference (ie the former scenario). I hope this is making some sense - it is a bit difficult to explain but is an issue which creates a great deal of annoyance for me!!! It would be great for all the threads which you have not read with new content to appear as bold, rather than just what has updated each time you login vs the previous time you logged in. Particularly on smart devices, it is always fun to login on the run, read a few threads and then login later to catch up on what you didn't have time for the first time around.

Thank you!!

Hi coolcup, I just did a little digging and think I may have found a solution to your problem. I have modified an admin setting that will hopefully make ASF work the way you want it to.

See how it goes over the next 24 hours and please let me know one way or the other by posting in this thread tomorrow sometime. Fingers crossed!

Hi Joe

Are the changes you made the reason there are 214 threads on the new posts list this morning or were the members unusualy busy last night?

[Joe Blow]

Are the changes you made the reason there are 214 threads on the new posts list this morning or were the members unusualy busy last night?

Yes. In short, if you didn't read the new posts in a thread, it will remain as having "new posts" until you do, though if you don't read them it will just drop further down the list as other threads are updated with new posts.

Unlike the old system, logging or timing out does not change this.

Am more than happy to hear any feedback from members regarding this change, positive or negative.

Isn't this a duplication of "Todays Posts" in the "Quick links" menu?

 

[Joe Blow]

Isn't this a duplication of "Todays Posts" in the "Quick links" menu?

Probably moreso than it was before the change. However, "Today's Posts" will only go back 24 hours, while "New Posts" will now go back further than that, as long as a thread has unread posts.

Keep in mind that you can reset "New Posts" by clicking "Mark Forums Read" just above the "Currently Active Users" on the forums home page. This option can also be found in the "Forum Actions" drop down menu in the navigation bar.

My feeling is that this new system gives people more options with regards to keeping track of updated threads that they haven't yet read. It can be reset at any time, and "Today's Posts" is always there as an option should you only wish to look at threads updated in the last 24 hours.
