I don't think so, as the main priority is the merge.

As a newcomer to ZetaBoards can you explain this please?
Regards
John

I guess this hasn't been implemented yet, but if it has please advise where I access the feature.
If it hasn't been added please can we have it ASAP. In my view it is an essential feature for Forums and helps to keep members.
Thanks in anticipation
John

Brandon, who develops ZB, is not focusing on the merge. The priority on the merge is a matter of just this board, and takes priority over other extras on this board for now. It does not take priority over ZB development and is not something Brandon is working on.

Use the Active Topics page and look at the new forum markers. Before you leave after each visit, mark topics as read so when you return the only topics with new markers will be those with new posts since your last visit. No sense in adding a feature for something that can already be done.
It should be implemented on the board feed page not in the individual forums. Who wants to have to go through each and every board to see what's new when you can just go to the feed page select how far back to go and press a button. Much easier and less time consuming IMO.

C'mon ZB let's get er done ;)
I never said to go through every forum. Read my post instead of just assuming.

I said to use the Active Topic page. The link's at the bottom of your index.

I'd like to see the "Response to your posts" and "Last posts since you visited" on top of the page as well

I already sent in a request in the ACP but it doesn't hurt to add my vote to this thread

You can add those and any other link to the submenu via codes on ZNR. With a little leg work on your part, you should have no trouble finding them.

There is no code available that will allow you to see the posts made since your last visit. Coding this would require access to the ZB database, and it would be better off added to ZB's features by the staff themselves.

And why would you want to look for posts replying to yours? ZetaBoards doesn't work like that; you reply to the topic. Unless you're talking about posts that contain a quote of one of your posts? In any case, there shouldn't be a code that works like that either, since it would also require access to the ZB database.

tl;dr "Posts made since last visit" and "replies to your posts" are not ZetaBoards features, and creating an external code is virtually impossible.

I want to know which topics I replied to have new posts when I go back to the forum. I don't always note Topics I reply to and I loose track most of the time.

It seems rude to appear to have posted and run when in reality you lost track of which topic it was you responded to. It is kinda of a conversation killer too

Active Topics is every topic that has a new reply so it is not the same.

You could try clicking "Track Topic", below the fast reply box on every topic.

We use your boards for our members, and the one thing I get asked for all the time is 'Will there ever be a button or link to view all posts since my last visit'.

Will this ever happen?

This is the #1 request from members of our board... "View posts since last visit".

+1...

Just a little thought for coding - could you implement a search that bypasses the three minimum characters (ie a search that finds everything), display by date in descending order, and keep displaying until "new" disappears? That is a workaround I used myself on early versions of phpbb until they got to grips with it...
