Gator GT Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 My "User CP" is messed up. Everytime I go there today, it's listing the same Daniel Stern thread that was last posted at 10:17 this am. I've had to thumb through the "NEW POSTS" to check for that silly little blue checkmark for any updates to threads I've subscribed to. edit....oh, this'll be cute...I'll have to search "New Posts" to see if there are any replies to this one.... arg!

Tide Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yeah VB is funny. It assumes if you posted this that you read it, so it's not "New" to you. Very strange. What you probably want is Quick Links -> Subscribed Threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 +1 on the subscribed threads. You just gotta make sure you subscribe to them. They'll also show up in your UserCP on top under "New Subscribed Threads:" I always just click "Last Page" to clear them out. No biggie, it's almost habit If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I treat my user cp like I treat my inbox. I cant stand to have "unread" flags. one thing I like about this forum is when I post in a thread it subscribes me to it. A lot of forums I've been to you post and you dont subscribe. then I cant follow the conversation. I normally dont go to those forums very often *cough*wrxatlanta*cough* you can PROBABLY change that in user settings but why should I have to? Why would I want to post and NOT follow it?

nemo Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 UserCP > Edit Options > Default Thread Subscription Mode = "Instant E-mail Notification" It's up to the Admin to set that option on the forum config. It's changeable by the user. If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator GT Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thank you Nemo, darkfox & Tide. So that's it, then, "VB is funny"? What you are suggesting Tide, is that I use Quick Links (which I just tried for the first time) and go to Subscribed Threads? I did that. It doesn't replace what used to be my Users CP. If you're an organized, anal pile of flesh like myself, then you've made up folders to organize the subscribed threads (electrical, engine, suspension, brakes, etc, etc...no, I don't have 2 folders labeled "etc") which means I'd have to check in each of these folders to see if there have been any recent postings in those threads. Pfft. My USERS CP used to show any and all of the threads that I have: 1. posted in (which have auto-subscribed me) 2. manually subscribed to which have new postings. Now I'm stuck on Daniel Stern's lighting thread...which I find annoyingly ironic since said Daniel Stern never returned any of my business emails looking to purchase from him. Sub-par.

Tide Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Can you explain what you mean by "used to show"? The forum software here hasn't changed in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Also, VB here is the software, and is very mod friendly. If you see a mod on vbulletin.org that does what you want, then post a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator GT Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Sorry, nemo, didn't mean to capitalize your name in my #6 post. (I learned something today by reading your *cough* link). Tide, what I mean by "used to" is that prior to Monday afternoon's mysterious glitch in my USER CP, whenever I clicked on USER CP, it would list/show/present me with the following: 1. threads I have manually subscribed to that have been added to since I've last viewed them 2. threads I have posted in (thereby automatically subscribing me) that have been added to since I've last viewed them Currently, as of 1pm EST, this all seems to now be a moot point, as my USER CP is functioning as I so dearly remember it.
