Cruising around other forums (actually not me - I'd never do that - but a friend of mine) makes my friend really appreciate how user friendly this site is. Thanks again to those who are responsible.

 

Thanks for the kind compliments. Its good to hear that you find it generally usuable and a good resource!

Mark, good is an understatement.

 

Agreed, an excellent forum

 

Is there a way to add a new threads button, similar to the new posts one?

 

Can you be more specific as to what you mean?

 

On the main menu, upper left corner of the page, is a button, under Forums, that says "new posts". I hit it more often than any other link. If there was a "new threads" button there too, it would be a whole new way to see the freshest stuff. I sometimes wish there was a way to see, not the latest responses to existing threads, but the newest threads. Right now, to accomplish that is just look at the number of responses. Low numbers mean it is a newer thread.

Please understand this is a very minor quibble with an other-wise very user-friendly site. It is like when you find a scratch in your paint, but you needed 500 watts 12" away to see it.

 

I'm looking to see if there is a way to do this without writing some code. So far I haven't found anything but if I find a means to do it I'll add the option to the main menu. Thanks!

Thank you! What a place - ask and ye shall receive. kind of amazing to think I can affect what so many see. Even if you don't find a way, this is pretty cool.

 

I think that button would be helpful as well.
