Which to select, New, Active or Recent topics/posts
Not sure if this is even the right place to put this but no doubt it will be relocated by an admin if required.
Getting bored of nothing but Covid related content and wanting to see if anyone was posting anything else I clicked on Hua Hin Forum and found a few things that had been posted the same day but did not appear under active topics. Similarly neither did recent topics and new topics only showed that days entries.
So is there a one click way to bring up the latest posts covering all of the areas. Today I found posts for Thai Logic and Kaeng Krachan that did not feature in any of the quick link connections. What qualifies as an active or recent topic/post. The topic about cycling managed to garner five pages of content after only a few days and I managed to miss it although I get the feeling it was created by an admin moving off topic conversations.
This is not a dig at admins who I think do a wonderful job on this forum. I am not the most computer savvy person and just looking for an easy way to read what people are saying even the totally irrelevant on a slow connection where changing pages can take minutes on a bad day.

I agree, when you open up , the page showing is not always up to date, so as soon as you sign on click new posts.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

I use the unread posts
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Re: Which to select, New, Active or Recent topics/posts
I never bother with unread posts - they're usually unread for a reason. I'm on line a lot so I log in to the forum several times a day - new posts covers everything for me.

They’re only unread because you haven’t read them - it’s the quick link “unanswered topics” that are the ones not normally worth reading!!dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 7:09 pm I never bother with unread posts - they're usually unread for a reason.

Re: Which to select, New, Active or Recent topics/posts
I saw what you wrote and tried the same thing, not only are there unread posts but posts I have commented or following. I think they are unread posts that you have never read, or followed up from your comment.dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 9:31 pmAnd I haven't read them because I'm not interested!Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 9:20 pmThey’re only unread because you haven’t read themdtaai-maai wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 7:09 pm I never bother with unread posts - they're usually unread for a reason.

'Unread posts' all the way for me.
