Off-topic doesn't show up in Unread Posts
Hi all -
One minor change. Threads/posts from the off-topic area will no longer show up in the standard "unread posts" link at the top right of the page. All of the posts/threads continue to be just as accessible for folks who choose to click into the off-topic section. They just won't be front and center for folks who navigate this forum exclusively by the "unread posts" and "what's new" buttons.

Thanks Alex.
This really cleaned up my unread post counts.

Great idea! At least the motorcycle relevant threads will always be the focus. People will have to go out of their way for the off-topic posts, so it should keep some of the traffic down in that section of the forum.

Alex, I would like to suggest that you also move the "Off topic" to the very bottom of the General section? Just a suggestion.

I don't mind where it's placed on the page. Like most off-topic sections on forums, it tends to be quite busy at times, and the most posts/threads are usually clustered among a General forum and an Off-Topic forum. That's OK, and isn't a problem in and of itself.
This isn't intended to discourage people from posting things in that area, it's meant to make sure that people are really interested in interacting with the off-topic threads, and not just lumping all of that information at the same level of attention as the rest of the site. Those who aren't interested aren't bothered by it.

Hi Alex,
Is there a way to personalize it for each individual member? I would prefer not to have the "New Members" section to come up when I hit Unread Posts Thanks for clarifying! |

No, I'm sorry. It's one of those "one size fits all" settings.

I guess I'm one of the few that prefers they were listed with the rest of the unread posts. My habit is to use the unread posts link and browse for what I want to read then just click the "read" button when I'm done. Of course that marks all new unread posts as read including the now unlisted posts of the off-topic section. Oh well.

Keep your routine, just alter it slightly. After you read through the new posts and visit the off-topic forum, THEN click the read button. That's how I'm doing it, and it seems to be working well.

hehe I already knew that one. Just a matter of stopping myself from hitting the read button out of habit before I visit the off-topic lol. It was just easier the other way is all.

When someone bumps a million introduction threads to inflate their post count it floods the Unread Posts list too. Often, they are "welcoming" members from long ago, before they themselves were members. What's worse is that the OPs are often no longer active though their intro thread lives on!
