New forum feature

[codewritinfool]

If you use the theme "TheBN" (and you should), there is a new feature visible in the upper-right of your screen.

"View new BEER-RELATED posts" shows all new posts except for those in the off-topic forum.
"View new posts" does what it says.

I hope this is suitable for everyone.

[EDIT: Unless you want the cool new "View new BEER-RELATED posts" thingy, you don't need to change your theme]

did something terrible happen over the weekend? I was away enjoying homebrew and to be honest, don't really appreciate the change. I work for the government and don't like change. I've also become used to the standard theme of the site from other forums I use so having to change to the TheBN theme is a change.

I looked in the Off Topic forum and saw the public apology thread and a couple longish threads by the person making the appology. I haven't read those threads, they seem like instant flame bait and I've got the will to stay away.

so what's the deal?

Then don't change anything. View new posts will now show you everything just like it did.

If you want the new "View new BEER-RELATED posts" choice as an option, use TheBN theme.

Just a little excess from a new member. Apology made, move along.

Code, when I logged in tonight after having been away since Thursday and using the default theme, supersilver2 or whatever it's called, my only option for viewing new posts was "view all new BEER RELATED posts" but the only way to view the off topic posts was to view the OT forum.

blah, I must have logged in as you were in the middle of changing things.

We're all good now
