Adding Last Post info for local forums

[jlillest]

When logging into the CDF and seeing what's happened since I last logged in, the "Last Post" info (far right column) is a great time-saver for perusing the threads. If there's nothing new, then I don't have to open up each category to see if new stuff has been posted. However, under the local forums every sub-forum to which I belong has "Never" listed as the Last Post info. Is there a way to get this changed so that I don't have to click through all the local forums to see if changes have been made?

I know it's possible, because once upon a time one of the moderators accidentally gave me open access to everything on the CDF. Don't worry, I didn't do anything maniacal although I did look at some of the secret forums to see all the cool things the mods were saying about me!

I just hope it's possible to see updates for the forums that I belong to and leave out the info for the ones I don't. Any chance this could happen?

Thanks,
-Jon

Huh? Don't you go to this page first?

It gets you to the same place. Still not sure why he gets last post "never" on forums he is a member of.

I always just click on "New Posts."

Ditto that, and it shows me all forums I have access to, not just the public ones. This might be what you're looking for, Jon.

He has the "show posts from" set to a time period after the last post. IE if it's been 32 days since the last post, and you have that forum set to show posts from 1 month, it will show never.

I do, but I don't get all the spiffy info that you cool moderators get. Here's what I see:



Can I get last post info for those lines that say private?

Read JJ's post above yours.

I have the same issue. It never bothered me, but while it is being talked about... How do I change this setting? I have looked at all the settings and nothing mentioned this.
I did find "Default Thread Age Cut Off" and it is set to "show all posts" and that didnt work.

I dont know if that is the issue though. There are threads where items were posted within the last 24 hours, but it reads "never" and just like Jon it is only the Local and Private forum section that does this.

That's for showing the actual threads, I found the same thing.

Where is the setting that JJ mentioned?
