ubybc Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I am total VW noob, but not a forum noob. All my other registered forums have an option for notification when a topic is updated and also have a colored icon that shows a status change of topics i have posted to in "my stuff". I can not seem to find such an option here. can anyone help please? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'm afraid it's a limitation of the software VW has been using for many years. It appears to have become "abandonware". I have no direct knowledge of all the gory details (and moving 10+ years of posts to another platform has to be really complicated), but I believe new options are being explored. Until then the best option is to get notifications of new posts in forums by setting it up in My Stuff > Watched Forums > Edit Watched Forums. mk Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 A quick look at UBB's website would suggest it's still under active development and that version 8 is due out some time soon. Quote Link to comment
Guest Jim Kelly Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Under Topic Options you can add a topic to your "Watch List". Under "My Stuff" you can view your Watch Lists. Make sure you switch the topics view, and not the forums. Quote Link to comment
Guest Jim Kelly Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Oh, and you should see the color of new topics since your last visit as a yellow folder. Quote Link to comment
ubybc Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 thanks for the tips. i followed the suggestions Jim made, and I guess thats the best UBB can do. Not ideal for users. I have consulted on forum updates before and my advice to VW is archive the 10 years make it avaiable on the web and then start a new one that has current standards in place. It just makes more sense to get people the info they need as fast as efficient as possible. Quote Link to comment
