Candle Tech Tips

[PJ]

Okay, for those that already have discovered this, I apologize for telling you what you already know.

 

However, I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of the following:

 

1. When you are viewing the summary of topics in a forum, 15 per page, you can simply go to the right-most "Last Action" column and click on the "Last Post By:" link (NOT the person's name), and it will take you to the latest post of that topic. This is useful when you have been following a thread, and you see a new post but do not wish to page through all the responses you have already seen.

 

2. When a topic has a new post that your have not viewed (tracked by when you are logged in and view a post), there is a blue "V" symbol to the left of the topic title. Once you view it and then go back to the summary of topics page, the "V" should be gone (unless you are using the browser's BACK button, in which case it will still be there because you are viewing a cached page).

 

I've found that these simple tools make navigating the many useful responses on Candle much easier and more enjoyable!

 

Thanks,

 

P.J.

No problem, and happy browsing! I like your Garfield avatar, by the way.

 

Oh, everyone ... I copied the contents about forum navigation into the read only Information/tutorials for using this site where it belongs.

 

Thanks,
