Awesome !
Could the recent thread link be added under the Community tab on the nav bar ?Feb 6, 2009 at 2:15 pm #1475929Can we have this link on the Home page please, under the 'Last 50 Posts' link! Yes, there is room for it.
Cheers
Feb 6, 2009 at 3:33 pm #1475949Great! Thanks BPL for your speedy response. I look forward to any of the other suggestions you're able to implement. Cheers, A.

Sure, why not ; )
Check it out on the backpackinglight.com home page.
Feb 6, 2009 at 7:56 pm #1475988Hi Sam
I doubt I will use the 'Last 50 Posts' link any more. This one is so much better.
Feb 6, 2009 at 8:17 pm #1475997If you can add the number of new posts since your last visit in parentheses that would be even better!
eg.
forum reorganization suggestions (3)to indicate 3 new posts have been added to this thread since your last visit. That would make it clear which threads are very active (lots of responses), and which new threads haven't received any responses yet.
Feb 6, 2009 at 10:51 pm #1476012Roger – I've been waiting for the "new threads" link since I first joined BPL. It's a winner.
Ashley – We're on a roll, but don't fault us if we don't come through with every request ; )

Hehe I can keep wishing though eh? Great job so far though. Most websites take months to respond to these sort of requests (if they ever do). Kudos to the hackers who are making the mods… I know how much of a PITA it can be getting even "simple" things right.
Feb 6, 2009 at 10:57 pm #1476014No suggestions I can think of!
Thanks SO MUCH TO ALL of the BPL STAFF!!!
You guys are awesome!
Keep up the good work!-Evan
Feb 6, 2009 at 11:07 pm #1476016Thank you all for your response. It means a lot to us to be able to act immediately to requests and provide the best user experience.
Feb 9, 2009 at 8:17 pm #1476667From the recent threads page, the forum names in the list of threads do not link to the forums. Instead you get the message: "The specified forum no longer exists or never existed." Checking the link shows that it doesn't actually seem to be pointing at a specific forum.
That's what I'm seeing using Opera 9.2 anyway…
Feb 9, 2009 at 8:23 pm #1476671AnonymousGuestThanks for noticing Ashley, it's fixed now.
Feb 10, 2009 at 8:20 am #1476748Dave the fixes we've made in the past week were initial ones. They were the technical fixes that could be made quickly and that have needed to be made for sometime.
A more serious re-structuring of the forums will take a bit more time. The writing of new descriptions and the combining of threads are time-consuming. On top of it the staff needs to determine the best course of action from our own perspective paired with the comments from the community at large.
