Flag Fonction?

Not sure if this was ever suggested before. :)

Just wondering if there's a way to code in a flag fonction for you to flag a game you're in to remind you that, yes, you've read everything, but you need to go back and post! Otherwise, we might forget to go back unless someone posts again... but if you're the GM, ppl might just be waiting on you! ha!

Re: Flag Fonction?

A "mark as unread" function has been suggested before, and is on the list of possible changes which will be made in future.

Re: Flag Fonction?

I did think of mark unread as a feature, but believed it would confuse the new info with the old info. IE: I'd go back just to realize no one wrote anything but it's still me we're waiting for, vs. no one's been in to post but I still have to. Or.. look here, I did flag it, but someone wrote something... It'll help a lot if you have several games to look through. Been here, here, new post there but will verify later, not been here yet...

Either way sounds good though.

Thanks. :)

Re: Flag Fonction?

Maybe adding a fourth colour if you're the one who flagged as unread?

Re: Flag Fonction?

Or just switch the New Message flag and colour back on, because you can't see if somebody else has read a thread or not anyway.

Not sure I follow, but see no point in knowing what others have read?

What I'd like to know is what I've marked for follow-up (Flagged? or Orange? or Italics?) or if they've written since then (red).

If I just mark unread and it turns Red in my main screen, I wouldn't know which Forum I really read or not (if I'm playing in more than one game). This would help with IRL interuptions such as kids and nosy bosses. <grin>


Thanks for you time though, I know you guys are Busy!! :D
