I reckon they mean "previous/next topic"? While I, from the very beginning, was expecting to find some "previous/next PAGE"!Does anybody here use this stuff as it is? For me - it's weird, so I, for one, would like the meanings to be replaced so that they leaf the topic's pages instead of - IMHO - unnecessaryI find them at the top & the bottom of every page, & the first few times I used them I found myself bitchin' & swearin' up a storm, because I, like you, thought it would --- like in every forum I've ever been in --- thought it would take me to the previous or next page [glow=green,2,300] in that thread[/glow], not into an entirely new freekin' thread I had absolutely no freekin' logical desire or intention in having my cranky ass transported to in the first place!!!!!

Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #76 – 2014-01-02, 16:53:17 Still, why do I sometimes see "new posts" via the "recent posts" update - while the index page does not show any 'new' at all?It mustn't be any "delays" or "overlaps", Frans: for example, now I've had such wackoness for quite many minutes, several times moving round&round along the "recent"->"mine"->"Home" route.?
Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #77 – 2014-01-02, 20:03:33 @Frenzie Thanks for the <Previous Next> fix!
Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #78 – 2014-01-02, 20:09:58 No problem. I hardly see the point of previous/next topic myself.
Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #79 – 2014-01-02, 23:56:09 I have no more questions to the Administrator.I think that is time to let the Administrator to rest. He has done a lot of work.Thank you Frenzie.

Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #83 – 2014-01-03, 10:29:44 So you can have unread topic without having any unread boards?
Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #85 – 2014-01-05, 18:35:05 Thanks for the "view last post" link in the main boards. I love that feature!!!

Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #87 – 2014-01-14, 21:17:18 @FrenzieMight I suggest we have an [glow=black,2,300]"Introduce Yourself"[/glow] Sticky Thread in an appropriate Board so newcomers can make their first post (nice if you would suggest that when somebody successfully registers via the success response from [glow=green,2,300]DnD[/glow]), so we can all go there to welcome each & every newcomer.Nothing breaks the ice better than a shy 'hello I'm a newbie post' , followed by a deluge of friendly & warm welcomes!!!Makes em feel at home...ya think??.....I would also like to suggest that if you decide to make such a sticky thread, that we all (us regulars) make a concerted effort to visit this [shadow=grey,right]"Introduce Yourself"[/shadow] thread whenever we sign on....maybe put this thread on our notify, so we get a note saying there were posts there.....just an afterthought.What do ya think?
Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #88 – 2014-01-14, 21:56:44 Sure, why not. What do you think, Central or Lounge?
Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #89 – 2014-01-14, 22:10:53 Quote from: SmileyFaze on 2014-01-14, 21:17:18.I would also like to suggest that if you decide to make such a sticky thread, that we all (us regulars) make a concerted effort to visit this "Introduce Yourself"Certainly I'll do it. Even more, I even will introduce myself...Nothing better, when waiting for new "victims", than to turn ourselves into virgin blood, he he...

Being [shadow=grey,right] Lounge [/shadow] seems to be all about games, so I think that[shadow=grey,right] DnD Central [/shadow]would be more appropriate because it's Branded by the Forum Name, & it denotes the heart of the Forum --- where most people who join up will probably be most active. What do you think?
Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #91 – 2014-01-14, 22:34:32 Yes, I agree. If you want, you can create the thread and I'll sticky it tomorrow.
Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #92 – 2014-01-14, 22:54:09 I object.I thought about a board for homecoming.
Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #94 – 2014-01-15, 08:43:08 Functionally.There are four main boards: "Welcome to DnD!", or something like that - for the newcomers, DnD Central, the Lounge, and the feedback board. That is except for some specialised ones - like "Browsers"&co.For now. I thought about a "MyOpera core" something - like for "surviving" issues, also...See, a "Lounge" will always be for ULTIMATE BANTER & some, the "Central" - for MATURE discussions, the specialised ones - you know... For geeks and fans, other SPECIFICALLY interested people.The 'feedback' - fixed for feedback; then we need a "welcome" board - in case? we're expecting more! influx. Quite much more...I've encountered such a structure on one or two other forums; they have certain distinct boards - 1) for newcomers (sometimes for stray people also - or it happens to be a yet another section) 2) and for "mature discussions" - people who're already settled and perfectly know what they want and where they are.

Re: Questions to the Administrator Reply #97 – 2014-01-15, 09:04:08 You can assign separate moderation/moderators to the boards. I.e., the moderation will differ (the approaches) considering 1) the newcomers and their threads in the DISTINCT 'newcomers' board - and 2) that the moderation in the "settled" boards must be kept "on the full scale", you know?
