Cool new board feature

Post by Harlock »

I just noticed that now when you click on the "Live Steam and Riding Scale Railroading" forum subset link in the hierarchy / breadcrumb trail above (Link: http://www.chaski.org/homemachinist/viewforum.php?f=35 ), you get an aggregate display of all the posts in all four forums under that subset, as if they were one forum again.

This alleviates the big complaint from when the board was subdivided, that it was hard to see what was new at a glance. Now I can use that link and see all the new posts in all four forums on one page, as if it were a single forum again. Or select an individual forum and see it the modern way. This is nice for us frequent reloaders.

Previously when you visited that link you would just see a list of the four forum titles. This is much more useful. Nice new feature.

That is cool. It does not appear to show all the posts or give a paging option.

Must be an old age thing, I thought something was wrong with the forum. Have to go back to "Board index" to get back to the section I was looking at. But I now see the four forums are down below the aggregate display. Guess I can get use to it.

The only posts that don't seem to show up in the list are from the Marketplace. You still have to go into that section to see the new posts.
