You bookmark it. search.php is my entry page.

Kind of circular logic - if you can't find it, how can you bookmark it?
Ah, I see the New posts button now...

My guess is that Conor is fixing something for Sparks.

Nope, Sparks did that all by himself.

Another useful trick is to use this:

[noparse]http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=a,b,c[/noparse]

Where a,b,c are the forumid's of forums you don't want to see posts from. It can be useful if there's a large forum that gets posted in a lot that you've absolutely no interest in, e.g. I use it for the poker forums.

Same goes for if you only have a few forums you want to check, just use:

[noparse]http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/search.php?do=getnew&forumid=a,b,c[/noparse]

I went years without noticing it myself

Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

But if you are only interested in specific forums the new posts are top of page on those Forums and if you put those Forums in your Sub list they get a * if there is a new post. So I've not seen that page as I'd have no interest in a sitewide list of new posts. Only a really useful button on a single interest Boards like ArchosFans.

So yes I knew that button was there but since it didn't have a "don't touch" label and was obviously boring I left it alone.

I've never used that page either as I have less than zero interest in what is posted in 99% of the forums on here anyways.

It's the biggest change in firearms licencing since the foundation of the state, it affects 200,000 people in the state (about 1 in 20 or so), and it's not a small change, it's a complete upheaval.

And I'm not exactly impressed that noone thought to ask why the announcement was made so prominent, or that Shooting was changed without notice like that either.

Yeah - to point out to the OP that it wasn't some trivial whim.
