Forum Filter

[Argent]

If possible, some way to filter out forum topics you're not interested in seeing would be much appreciated. I like to read new message when I log on, but 90% are "what color is my horse" or "how does this work" sorts of things that don't much matter to me.

Think that would need some serious coding if that can even be altered...
Subscribing to certain topics might work Thats what I usually do on other, bigger forums

It seems like we're currently subscribed to ALL subforums and topics. I know that you can control which topics you get email notifications from.

I quit using the New Posts link and just go to the categories I'm interested in. What is in red is unread and then I click the title from there. Harder to see but to the far right is a First Unread link to take you to the first unread post in that thread. Then when done reading/posting I mark all forums read for tidiness

Going by the New Posts method I think I was missing some posts actually. Whole threads even like in Bugs. Maybe when there is a new post in a thread and then it is moved to Archived or moved around elsewhere. phpBB can be awkward especially when customized.

Each threads icon (the circle with lines) is also a link to the first unread post in the thread. That's what I use.
