Not for me, they aren't. For me they don't appear, no matter what skin is being used.Rhys Benjamin wrote:Working fine in AeroGreen man
There's a fair bit of discussion about the limited range of topics shown in the "View active topics" list in this thread, starting with posts dated 12th October.

Oh.
It appears you use "View active topics" while I see "View new posts".
My bad.

I learn something new all the time. Only a few months ago, someone mentioned the "View active topics" button, and I've used it ever since, until it stopped working properly recently.Rhys Benjamin wrote:It appears you use "View active topics" while I see "View new posts".
Now I see "View new posts" for the first time. But it does seem just what it says - only the threads with the most recently added posts, five threads only in my case.
BTW, here's a question. In my last post in this tread, I linked to a thread. I've seen others do similarly, yet link directly to a specific post in a thread. How's that done?

Every post's title is a link. Click it, copy the resulting change to the URL in your browser's address bar.Howard Somerset wrote:link directly to a specific post in a thread. How's that done?

Thanks Matt. I tried it - didn't work. So I switched to prosilver ... and it worked!Matt Morrison wrote:Every post's title is a link. Click it, copy the resulting change to the URL in your browser's address bar.Howard Somerset wrote:link directly to a specific post in a thread. How's that done?

Thanks, Rhys.Rhys Benjamin wrote:It shows all the posts since you last logged in.Howard Somerset wrote:Now I see "View new posts" for the first time.

But now I've switched to prosilver, I only get the active topics and new posts links when I'm on the "board index" whereas with AeroGreen I had the links at all times. Seems like each skin has separate advantages (and disadvantages). Maybe I should get myself two usernames and have them configured with different skins so I can get the best of both worlds. Wonder if anyone else has ever had two usernames?

Haha, aerogreen fails again! There is another method which may work without you having to change skins Howard - on prosilver there is a little page icon to the left of "by <poster's name>" (it's orange for a new post, white usually)... if you click this it has the same effect of giving you a direct URL to the post in question... maybe the icon appears on aerogreen even if the clickable title link doesn't?Howard Somerset wrote:Thanks Matt.

What's actually happened though? It's not as if the "view active topics" thing has stopped working altogether because it works for a couple of the subforums? Could you move every other forum so that they become a subsubforum inside one of the working subforums to make the whole thing right? You could then rename some stuff to make it look sensible.Charlie Reams wrote:yesGavin Chipper wrote:Is this likely to be permanent?

I really have no idea, it seems like they've changed the way that page works.Gavin Chipper wrote:What's actually happened though?

I actually prefer it. I tend to look at Active Topics most days, and I often get a few days behind watching programmes - by which time the Spoiler thread is on about page 3 of the Active Topics. Much easier to find it by going straight to it, and they don't clutter up the Active Topics.
