A couple of suggestions....

1. Some way to change the way the new posts search is ordered. Would be nice if I could grp it by topic

Or some way of being able to filter it... Like i don't really care about new posts inthe Scotland race topic... Nothing personal, just not relevent to me

2. A roll out of the prefix's like you have here.. I quite like that

1. How do you mean sort by topic?

1. It is possible to exclude particular forums from the list of new posts. In the commandline you can do http://www.runnersforum.co.uk/search...&exclude=1,2,3 where 1,2,3 are a comma separated list of forum ids to exclude (given our seo, you'd get the forumid by looking at the url of the new thread button within a forum).

Options could be written where you get to choose what to exclude, if there's enough demand.


2. Thread prefixes are a good idea but they aren't the best designed, particularly around search and admin, and given how some people can't manage a good thread title, I don't think they'd be completely effective. But I'm not against them if we can build up a list of appropriate prefixes for various forums.

Sorry, i meant forum not topic

When i click on New Posts, they are ordered by date in which they were posted. would be nice if i could also then sort them via Forum, so it groups all Off Topics together, all General Running etc

I'd also be grateful of this type of feature... whilst I appreciate you can mark individual forums as read, all it takes is a single post and it's weasled it's way back into the 'unread posts' list... if they were all grouped together It'd make life so much easier to ignore things like the 'fun and games' threads, which seem to have new posts every 30 seconds and really aren't of any interest to me. Likewise events and that often aren't applicable to me, but I could still choose to look at them at a later point after reading the threads in forums of most interest.

http://www.runnersforum.co.uk/search...w&sortby=forum - found that in the code. It's not linked anywhere though as far as I can see so you'd have to bookmark it for now.

I could make an option to choose default sort by, and even exclude forums for the getnew search.

To exclude F&G: http://www.runnersforum.co.uk/search...new&exclude=44

Yes!!! do it

[bairy]

All done!

If you go to Edit New Post Search Options, which can be found on the User Links menu up top, or in the leftbar in the UserCP, yee shall see some rather nice options to customise how new posts and today's posts are handled.

Normal searches aren't affected at all.
