In the left column called 'Topic' is the name of the recent topics, just after the name of the recent topic is a heavy down arrow. Click on that arrow, that takes you to the beginning of the posts of that topic which you have not read yet.

I would like to see the menu when I am in a Topic.
I also wish I could see recent topics right away also.
It takes me along time to learn these new layouts (dyslexia)

Kathy

I think that a 'Menu always available' would be helpful.  
Also as Judith says a view that shows just the posts since your last visit would be nice.  That presumes that we can get the auto-logoff to work.  I havent seen this work yet.  I must raise a Support Request.

We might be able to do some of this now.  I need to talk to Steve.

Auto Log on/off IS working.

Last evening I had my account open on the Mac mini and Pams account open on the MBP.

I checked the 'Who's online' info on the forum, after about an hour, perhaps less, of inactivity on the forum the inactive member disappears from the logged on members list but immediately re-appears if the the 'inactive' member selects a new screen or refresh's their browser.

Although you may appear to be logged on at your computer, if you are inactive for a period you are automatically logged off by the forum.

Any activity re-logs you back on automatically which I think is great, Far better than having to log on every hour or so as it was on the old forum.

That's odd.
I have been logged on (iPad) as Eric ....since I reregistered, 24+hours ago. Haven't needed to re log on.

The iPad is left charging overnight so there is no activity.

Are you saying that despite displaying I am logged in...I am not ...until I click on something?

That's correct.

I guess it depends what you mean by logged on...

I think the cookies are handling this, I have just installed a complete new OS upgrade of Mountain Lion on my Mac mini. While I was doing that I used the the MBP (laptop) to browse the site under the Pam account. While I was installing the update my MBP was still showing 'Robert' as logged in, even though the computer I had been using and was logged in on was undergoing an OS Upgrade.

When I regained use of the Mac mini I was still showing logged in on that computer.

It seems to me to completely log out you have to actually tell it you are logged out but to put the login to 'sleep' just leave it and it will auto log out at the Forum server after about an hour. I will run a test later to try to establish what the timing is.

You can really only test this with two accounts on two computers.

I bow to your greater knowledge on the subject
:bowing:


Whatever is happening, it seems a lot better than the old forum.

Well that is a possibility.
I will check with the software creators as to what the expected behaviour should be.

You will next time Eric, just the once. I had to  rename the forum cookie in an attempt to fix the IE9 login problem. The one consequence of renaming the cookie is it kicks everyone off and they need to login again.

I certainly did.

I suspect a few Mac users any minute now, might object to this IE9 fix effecting the auto log on.
