Feature Request re: Latest postings

On the side of the page where the latest postings live, it would be great if the no message X showed up there as well so I know not to click a post with no text.

Easier to implement than I'd guessed. Done.

Any way to mark all messages as read? Probably there, I've never been able to find out how, though...

Hitting the "refresh" button on the index will remove all red arrows (next to new posts since your last visit).

Sweet, that's exactly it. I knew it was somewhere in front of my face.

Also, thanks Claude. I can understand why you'd confuse me for an admin, but surprisingly, I'm not one. :P

Doesn't the 'Manage Postings' link at the bottom of the right sidebar do what you need?

You missed someone exuberantly posting a generic no-message message just to experience the new system in action.

Pardon my dust/paranoia

Am I the only one that would like the ability to have the 'latest postings' bar show much more than the ten most recent posts? Something like double that, perhaps?

Hmm. Interesting... I wonder how hard it would be to make it user-settable?

I won't be able to look at this for a little while, but I'll do my best to check soon.

I second this. When the game releases, it'll heat up around here and that'll make it easier to navigate to the stuff I want to read.

You're the best, Claude.

I have found that the 'RSS Postings' feed link offers the same list from the side bar, but extended with 20 total entries. Make sure you check that out Speed Racer. It is linked on the bottom of every page and is great in a desktop browser bar for live RSS bookmarks. (may not work so great with phone browsers)

I'd like it to be much more than double, and not require logging in to make the side bar list longer. Besides looking at the newest threads, sadly I find it to be the quickest and easiest way for me to keep up to date with new postings. If stuff gets bumped from that side bar list there is the distinct chance that I will miss it, forever, especially if it is a new post in a really old topic (looking at you Vagueness :)). When browsing on my phone, on the go, I don't want to log in and that side bar with the newest posts is stupendous. I'm busy/lazy. I'm really bad with re-querying the forum order, thread view, list view, keeping cookies to retain blue posts vs. purple posts etc. So I always just browse not logged in and with the default settings left as is.

I fear for the days once the game is released, and the post count goes through the roof and I'm not able to check in on the side bar during the day. I will slowly drift more and more out of touch.

Thanks Claude for taking time and looking into feature requests!

Okay, this is NOT going to be an option; the way this forum works, preferences are tied to a username. It won't set cookies at all if you don't log in - so changing the length of the list will REQUIRE logging in. I'm sorry.

Oh... so you're saying you want the DEFAULT to be longer, not that you want to be able to set the list length without a login. Hmm. I guess I can look at that. (Not today - today is SUPERpacked with stuff already. I'm not even supposed to be here right now.)
