CAG Feature Update #1: New Post Filtering |
2424 views |
|
I'll be posting updates running up to the launch of the beta, giving everyone a taste of some of the new features they can expect to see. Today we'll be starting off with something you can use on the site right away, it's called "New Post Filtering" and you can get to it through the User CP. (Or here.)
It works by allowing you to choose which forums are included when you click "New Posts" to see what's new on CAG since you last visited. If you're anything like me you're only interested in seeing activity in threads that aren't region specific, or are specific to your local region. (For example, if you live on the west coast, you probably won't be interested in seeing new posts from the Canada deal forum.) To use new post filtering, simply head over to the new post settings page and uncheck any forums you don't care about. Save your preferences and you're done! The next time you use the "New Posts" search tool in the forums it'll be tailored to your custom preferences. That's all for this post, I hope you all find this addition as useful as I do - it's a little thing, but it makes the forums a lot easier to browse. Stay tuned for more updates on what to expect in the beta! |

There, I've added #1 to the title. More updates to come, and game collections will be one of them. :p

There are holdover forums from CAG 1 that don't exist anymore on that list. Namely, the vBookie and Arcade.

Hooray!
Perhaps we (read: you) should add a link to the new post settings at the top of the New Posts page. |

Excellent feature, although I personally won't find much use for it. I never search for posts, I just go to the forums I like and look for the bolded thread titles indicating new posts. Still, for others, this will probably prove very helpful. Keep the good stuff rolling John!

Good feature. Although something needs to be clarified, if you uncheck Regional/International Video Game Deals but have areas (ex: Midwest, Northwest) checked will you still see those new posts?
I suggest getting rid of the Regional/International Video Game Deals check box since it's all categorized. |

Each checkbox only affects posts directly within that forum, so realistically you'll never see any posts from "Regional/International Video Game Deals" if that box is checked. (There is one thread in there, but it hasn't changed since 2005.)
