Tag new posts as "new post" instead of "new"

Topic

New Reply

It would be very helpful if new posts were tagged with a less frequently appearing phrase such as “new post” instead of the current “new”. When I use the browser’s search function to search for “new” posts in a given topic, a lot of instances of “new” aren’t the “new” tag because of the frequency of use of “new”.

That’s not a “user changeable” setting available to us, sorry… we are constrained by the software.

I have discovered that searching for report new works well, at least for Firefox!

Finding new posts since lasts logged on / checked doesn’t seem to have a way to mark all posts as read, so i just get a very long list.

If you wish to remove the “new” tags, just refresh the page – all gone! It assumes you have read them all.

Sadly, if you reply to one post before you read the other new posts, in effect it reloads the page and removes all the “new” tags. A way around this is to right-click the reply link, to do the reply in a new tab/window, leaving you to review the other posts on the original page before you lose those tags.

Good question. I’ll see if it’s feasible with the software we have.
