Active topics link???

Post by maaarcooose »

Is it well known that the active topics link does not work on the forum.
After using it on most forums, I come here and it simply returns nothing.

Please fix whoever is responsible.

I agree if it's not working it should be fixed if possible.
Having said that, I'd never even noticed it before, and it seems a bit pointless because I know the active topics are the first ones on the pages as a new post will move the topic to the front of the queue, and the BB flags up new posts with an orange flag instead of a white one.

Fair enough.

I've always just found it quite useful to be able to see on one page what has been posted all across the forum since your last visit.

What about the [url=feed://aegidian.org/bb/feed.php]RSS feed[/url] of Oolite?

Same here. (I've never even noticed the "View Active Topics" URL before!!)

And a PM to Aegidian might be more productive now it's been raised as an "issue".

Works now. Either a PM to Aegidian did the magic, or he noticed this thread.

Thanks Aegidian.
