Until a recent upgrade, there used to be a small, rectangular mid-grey button at bottom right of the page displaying New topics (from the ‘New’ tab at top) with the label ‘Dismiss’ or ‘Dismiss All’.
It seems to have gone in this version.
It was particularly useful when not every thread was relevant or needed to be attended to.
Now it’s necessary to click into each thread - actually twice - for them each no longer to show up in one’s ‘New’ list.
Category-level, no dismiss button: Edit: Whoops, I accidentally screenshotted Latest instead of New here, but take my word for it, there’s no Dismiss button.
I believe that is intentional though, as New, unlike Unread, is a setting on the user, not on a category. So resetting it with a category filter will filter topics/posts you are not viewing, because they are in a different category and your category view is hiding them from you.
Unread on the other hand is on a topic level and can exist on the category filter page without any repurcussions.
Huh? I’m not following your logic here. I can dismiss my New topics spanning all categories, so why shouldn’t I be able to do the same for just one specific category?
If I’m viewing All Categories, then setting “unread date” to “right now” on the user table for my Username makes sense, as I’m seeing what I’m dismissing.
But if I’m on the Bugs category and I’m seeing 2 out of 36 New Topics, setting that indicator will wipe out all 36 topics even though I’m currenting looking at 2 of them. As it will update a timestamp on my entry in the Users table, which applies outside of all categories and topics.
It makes no difference whether there is/are 1 or 10 unread threads.
It makes no difference whether I am in ‘All’ or a subcategory.
Behaviour has also changed in that - in the absence of Dismiss - I now have to go into the thread/topic and click at least twice on the (often single) post before it stops contributing the the New count.
No momento, não temos como “dispensar” o indicador de novos tópicos quando você está dentro de uma categoria. Acho que isso pode ser importante se você estiver navegando por várias categorias e quiser simplesmente “optar por não ver” algumas delas.
Tecnicamente, a única coisa que podemos fazer é definir 1 como last_post_seen em topic_user para todos os tópicos novos na categoria. Isso significa que esses tópicos não serão rastreados e você simplesmente “optou por não ver”.
O usuário do Gearbox também pediu uma dispensa de um clique tanto para novos quanto para não lidos.
