Title: More 'New Forum Posts' on the world home page
Post by: 1993matias on February 13, 2012, 11:49:35 pm

Hi!

In the worlds with many players, the in-game forum gets used a lot. As it isn't possible to see if there are new posts in a thread like in a normal forum, I use the index page to see what new posts there are in the forum. But it only shows the three newest posts, leaving many more posts unseen. I really like reading the airline news threads, when new posts arrive I like to just take a pause and read the new post.
I think adding a couple more posts on the index page will improve the in-game forum.

Thanks in advance :)

PS: how many times did I say 'posts'?

I definitely agree with you and it should be an easy fix. When Rens (MrOrange) originally set out to build it we discussed how to make a new posts system but didn't quite get the logic of it, so that's why we have the three newest posts appear. As an term measure I could increase it to 5/7/10, limited to one post per thread or all posts or allow a user preference. I'll think about the user preference end a bit more but hopefully will get a chance to do a quick fix.

I think the limit to one post per thread is a good idea. Sometimes threads go on for an eternity if left alone for a couple of hours.

Anyway, thanks for taking a look at it! :D
