I can’t imagine going back through years worth of posts to clear them all out so the *New Posts to You* indicator turns black again. Now I can’t tell if I have new, new posts or old new posts.
BTW, John, I know how it can feel to work so hard on something and have people critique it. Don’t think for a minute that we don’t appreciate all the massive amount of work you do. FR is by far the easiest forum on the internet to use and get around on, especially for less computer literate people like me. It’s a fantastic resource and I’ve learned things and found out information I never would have without it.
Maybe it’s just a matter of getting used to some of the new changes. Sometimes I like being stuck in a rut. You can work on autopilot much more easily and FReep while you’re still half asleep.
just click “Clear Pings” to make the indicator light go away. And “View All” to get back what was cleared.
Even worse, I have to hit “View all” every single time I go in now because apparantly I have “cleared” all the old ones pings and replies. I need to be able to default to “view all” so every time I hit the pings button (lit or not), I can see everything I’ve sent and all the responses.
Perfect (#81 of 88), thanks!
