Could we rearrange the forums?

"Early Access Discussion" is linked very handily at the top of the page here even though it's closed and locked, but the other functioning forum (Feature Requests) isn't. You have to go back to the next level of menu and then in to it.

Another one of those tiny requests to do that end up sucking all the time...
 
The reason it's a main forum instead of a subforum, is I didn't want it buried and difficult to find for users that come to our main forums. However, if other users would find this helpful, feel free to give this a +1, and I'll take it under advisement. ;)
 
I know I am not going to be popular for saying this but I would rather it was still a main forum. I tend to go to the main threads and I feel it is faster to just go to the main thread then having to go to one main thread to get to another right now. It is just me I guess though :)
 
I like the current setup myself as well. But honestly, I'd be fine either way.

You know what? It's not worth it. Spend your time on the product. I'll stop making time-wasting requests. :-D

Well, I'd like the forums to quit forgetting where you are. Frequently (today, e.g.), i come here and it looks like I'm up to date on everything, but in fact, I haven't visited in two days. Fantasy Grounds uses the same forum managing software, and it never forgets where I'm at. What is wrong with your setup?

As far as I can tell, this is not the case for me. I can easily see which topics have had updates, or are new, since I've last been in.

The forum does not seem to remember what threads I have read and which I haven't...

What browser are you using? I've just upgraded to Firefox 29, and it was doing this before as well.
 
I have this problem as well. Every so often it has trouble remembering.

I've read that certain versions of vbulletin have problems with content caching.

It has to do with its datastore. Personally, I just reread the few threads this happens to me. (It happens nearly every day, and not browser based. so im certain its a content caching issue).

A quick google search revealed that a possible fix (but it would slow down the performance of the forums)

AdminCP > Settings > Options > Server Settings and Optimization Options > Disable Content Caching
 
With Google Chrome, I have had occasions where it stops remembering what I've read and keeps it unread. When this happens, I clear all of the cookies for the site and it corrects it for a while (like several months).
 
Fantasy grounds uses vbulletin as well and it NEVER forgets, so there must be some issue with the way LW has their's set up.
 
again, it also depends on the version of vbulletin. What i posted in my previous post about content caching is (was) a known vBulletin issue.
 
LW, what can you do about it? It is extremely frustrating for those of us who like to try to keep up with these boards.
 
Apparently "thread read" information was being stored in cookies, rather than in the database like I had assumed. I've switched it to be stored in the database instead, and I'm monitoring to see if it increases load on our server too much for us.

Please let me know if that resolves the issues with the "thread read" status not updating properly.

Thanks Colen,

One thing people should realize, though, by doing that, pretty much everything is goign to be unread what was previously read. So for a one time thing only, we're going to have to mark the different forums as "read".

(the easiest way to do that is double clicking on the parent folders to forcing everything to be read - but if you want you can update each forum yourself manually).

Just thought people should know.
 
I clicked on "Quick Links" and then "Mark Forums Read" at the top level of the forum.

"Mark Forums Read" is also at the bottom of the main level of the forum.
