One thing that has kept me from browsing DS-Scene more than I should is a lack of a "view new topics" option. If you could add that basic feature, I would be a lot more active here.
Despite what some people might think, I respect this site very much, you guys here are great, no, make that awesome, and are a lot more adult than the noobism than goes on at that "other" place (though I enjoy that site too, despite the noobs, whom I continue to be nice to, even if they don't always deserve such treatment), but a lack of a "view new topics" option here really hinders my enjoyment of DS-Scene. It is my primary way of viewing ANY website I visit (and I mean ALL the sites I visit) and when I don't have that option, I tend not to look beyond the few topics listed in your sidebar. It's just the way I roll. I'm truly sorry if that offends anyone, but that's how it is for me.
I may be a more prominent member of a site you guys seem adverse to, so I won't mention their name, but I don't see that adversity through my eyes. I don't care about the BS that goes on between sites or what happens "behind the scenes", but the lack of "view new posts" here has made it seem like I may not like DS-Scene. That is NOT the case at all. I don't give a crap about, or participate in, any arguments you may have with "them", I'm just an old-school gamer who likes talking about games. If you could add a "view new posts" option, I would become a heck of a lot more active member here. To be honest, I feel a bit alienated for the lack of a "view new posts" option.
I know I could look through every sub-forum and see the newest posts that way, but I feel that's tedious compared to just clicking on a single button and seeing the latest updates. It's the way I view ALL forums, even that other one.
"View new topics" is a function that every other site I frequent has that this one doesn't (if such an option does exist, please tell me how to access it) and it is the ONLY reason I don't frequent this site as much as it deserves. I consider DS-Scene just as relevant as any other similar site (more-so in some cases), but the lack of a "view new posts" option is a deal-breaker for my way of viewing forums. So it would be great if you could add that single feature. I think it would increase the activity of your members and your popularity greatly if it was added.
I think "view new posts" is one simple feature that would make this site as great as it truly deserves to be and I appreciate the opportunity to recommend it.
this is already on the to-do list. I recently tweaked the post history page which will help with producing the "posts since last visit" page. Not sure when this will happen exactly but it will be soon. A few bugs to iron out first though.
