How do you find recent responses in the Ideas/Suggestions

[BKMuir]

I scan the first 3-5 pages of each different arrangement (I am assuming all posts are in each different category).

I had one unread response when I went looking today. I scanned al 36 pages of NEW IDEAS and did not locate it. I closed out and saw that I Now had 2 unread. I went back and scanned HOT IDEAS ( I may have reversed the order of the scans). I finally found the 2 responses on Page 25!!!

Would it be possible to have a view sorted by LATEST UNREAD RESPONSE? And sort this by ASCENDING/DESCENDING DATE? I fear that many responses will be unread as the pages increase in number.

Yeah, this particular forum behaves oddly.  It tells you there are new posts/comments but you can't find them unless you want to scroll all 37 pages. I gave up long ago and if I don't see the new/bolded item(s) in one mouse-scroll down, I just click to "mark all as read" and move on. They encourage other designers to Kudo ideas they like to judge favorability but I suspect an awful lot of ideas (and comments on old ones) are going unseen by anyone but the Mods.

I look at page one and if the newest comment isn't there, I mark the entire category read and move on. I got tired of scrolling page after page.

Yes, I do that too PAZP.

I find that board so annoying 🙂

Also - when in the other threads (I sort by newest) - the NEXT arrow will take you through the new topics. This section, it is not operating that way.

Hi @BKMuir,

The Ideas and Suggestions forum is a different format to the others so the same view options are not available.

The way I find the newest posts is to set the sort by option to new ideas.

@Mark  Thanks for your response. I do look through the NEW IDEAS sort, I believe that is where I found an elusive "unread" post on page 16, or 20. I will adjust on only scan NEW IDEAS and see if the frustration is lessened.

I just tried to ONLY read in the NEW IDEAS sort. Several posts were on the first page. The last unread post was on page 9. There has got to be a way to sort these items in a more useful manner.
