Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted June 1, 20177 yr Currently we have a dot before item title to tell us if there is unread content in that item. In order to go to first unread post you have to click that dot. It's not very intuitive and kind of hard to do on a mobile device since the dot is small. I suggest the dot is replaced by an item that would say NEW and would look like a tag (in lack of a better word). It would be easier to click and it would be more intuitive. See attached image to get a better idea.
June 2, 20177 yr I wish the topic title would just take us the the last unread. Why do you want to keep going back to the fist post anyway.
June 2, 20177 yr Yep, I hacked our forums to remove the "New dot". Bold = new and goes to first unread, unbold = not new and goes to last post. The dot is not good UX IMO.

June 3, 20177 yr I'm gonna update my plugin to add a couple of settings to its current features. - Remove dot setting. - Make topic title link go to first unread setting.

This would be awesome! So every topic in every forum would go to first unread when clicking title? Would the unread badge be optional?

June 3, 20177 yr Alright new version is up. Note that in order to add these settings, larger parts of the code had to be modified, so things may break more easily as IPS releases updates, specially now during the beta stages of 4.2. (New version is not compatible with 4.1.19 or lower. Older versions are still there if you need them)
June 3, 20177 yr Thanks for the update and continued maintenance. It's much appreciated as we all update to 4.2.
