Fyron, I have noticed this only happens part of the time. Sometimes it works just fine for me and others it does not. I have not been able to determine what causes it to work and what does not but I am sure there is something there doing it.

If the thread has only a single page, it works perfectly. But if there are two or more pages, and new Posts on only one page, the bug crops up. It needs to be able to handle the reverse post order.

If you're taking requests, could we have a 'mark all as read' or 'update Last read pointers' button? Sometimes you don't want to have to enter every single thread to clear the 'new Messages' marker -- whatever it might be, graphic or color change.

There is already one there in My Home (the main page), below the descriptions of the various preferences sections.

That's a mighty strange place to put it. I'll let me suggestion stand, and append that the location should be on the top of each forum (thread list) instead of hidden away in our config settings. You're only going to want to update every single forum on the Boards when you've been away for six months or something and don't want to bother to catch up on all of them. The rest of the time you'll only want to catch up on ONE forum at a time.

Indeed. It is, however, exactly the same as the one from the old forum software. It would be nice to be able to update the Posts of just a single forum Category.

Wow, thank you Richard for bringing back the reverse post order!

Sivran · #55 August 10th, 2004, 10:48 PM

And most of all thanks for making it OPTIONAL! Those of us who don't read backward don't have to get confused now.

Now can we do something about this sucky font size? Hello, what resolution are you running? 1152x864 here and the text is ridiculously small. I hate websites that have text shrunk from the default size and there is no option to change it in My Home.

It's looking better in Firefox, Richard, thanks.

Sooo... when will the iframe for the replys page come back?

Another bug when using reverse order mode:

If a thread has 2 pages of Posts, and there is one new post, viewing page 1, which has that new post, does not update the new post indicator. If I view page 2, which would have had the new post in the oldest to newest order, it updates the new post indicator, even though that page doesn't actually have the new post.

Font sizes are now fixed and won't change with IE font size option as they used to.
I had to select an accesibility option to ignore font sizes and get an easy to read text.

Perhaps you need to ditch IE and get a decent browser, such as Mozilla Firefox? It has no trouble adjusting the font sizes on Shrapnel. Only a 4.7 MB download.

Yeah, I switched to Firefox Last month and I'm very happy with it.
