OF course no one would join as one would stink of have book shelves and stink of Mahogany and the server would be in @rennie wardrobe so the data would scrambled. The other would appeal too train spotters and never allow comments about rain, it would also be set up Manyana after the siester....

James in Brum Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hi gang, I need some help to get as much enjoyment and engagement in the site. I don’t find the new software intuitive. if I press the three bars on top of each other, followed by active topics to the active topics sub menu and then press unread content I get what I want. All the threads I have not read. problem is I have to do that each time I want to go back to the list of unread topics. Is there a way of having this as one button?

Bender Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 @James in Brum You can create an custom stream and include all unread posts, you then just hit one button and it lists them all, I'm phone only the desktop layout is very different. Menu, active topics, my activity streams, custom streams. You can call it what you like, on the mobile page it's then second button top left looks like newspaper icon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do that once then I press back on my browser after reading each thread which takes me back to unread topics and it refreshes it too Also try scrolling to the bottom and clicking on theme and change your theme and tell me what you think to the other one just bear in mind you lose the navigation bar at the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peatear Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) I do like that if I have a topic open in my browser, as soon as someone replies a little pop up shows saying '#name# (Usually Stu) has made a reply' or somesuch. Neat. But I am on PC, not mobile, no idea if it is different on mobile. @Stu, @XTreme , is the mobile app called Invision Community or is that for something else?
