Stenis Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 The View new feedback is good, for members. However as a guest or as just looking to see what is new, before possibly logging in, accessing the view new content all I get is "nothing new". This is really no good. Might I suggest showing the new posts for the last X days when a user is not logged in and clicking the View new content? This change is also good for IP.Mobile as clicking the "new content" button there just gives you "nothing new" as long as you are not logged in.

Stenis Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hmm, I must correct myself... found this in a blog post: "Default VNC Method A minor change, but one we have seen requested many times on these forums, we have added an ACP setting to allow the administrator to define the default "View New Content" method. You can now specify for your new users whether they should see "Content I have not read" by default, or "Content since my last visit". Users can still overide this when viewing the VNC results, but now you will be able to define the default that you feel is best for your community."

Lux Aeterna Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I am having this problem too... "View New Content" does not work 100% for guests, usually it dislays "no results" when I'm a guest, even if I select up to 6 months back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pereira Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I am not 100% on this but I think I seen a bug report on this in the tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 This has been changed for IP.Board 3.2.1 based on feedback. I believe guests will now default to "last 24 hours", although I haven't verified. There is indeed a bug report about this, marked as fixed now (for 3.2.1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
