KS,
I haven't heard back from you, so I did some googling to find how this feature is done in CBS board. I found this feature in the AWT board
http://boards.cbs.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?listMode=-1&nav=messages&webtag=cbsawtmbSo I tried it, but the feature doesn't work. Here is my simple test. I clicked a few top threads, then changed the "show discussions" dropdown to "All", then changed it back to "Unread Msgs", I would expect the "read" topics will be filtered out, but nothing happened. Can you try and let me know if I did anything wrong?
The worst part is that the link color doesn't change after I click it. So, I don't even know which link I have already clicked. How do you track which topics you have already visited? In Nabble, you can see which ones have been clicked because the link color changes.
As for "Today", and "2 days back" dropdown, I really don't quite understand. The threads are sorted by the last post, so when you browse the board, you are naturally looking at the Today's post, flip to the next page, you naturally get into posts from 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 days ago. It just seems really unnecessary to have the "today" and "2 days back" options.
So, with regard to the unread, is the change of link color good enough for your need?
Also, I saw some discussion in your board about the font-size. There several ways to make the font bigger.
1. The easiest is to just hold ctrl and type +, this will increase the font size in your browser. Ctrl and - will make it smaller.
2. Go to Your Account->Personal Settings->Advanced Settings, there you will see the "Font size" box, that's the default. You can set it a bigger number. This way, all Nabble forums will appear with a larger font to you. The default is 13.4667px, you can increase it gradually, save, until you are happy.
3. As the forum owner, you can use CSS style sheet to control what font size your forum should be. The options is under your forum->Options->Change forum appearance. It's a bit of an advanced feature because you need to know html and some CSS stuff. If you don't know those, just let me know and I can help you with it. We will make this easier to use soon.
