New postings
The number of new forum postings (i.e., in the last 24 hours) isn't a very helpful statistic unless a user notices the number going up. The problem is that posts silently fall out of the window and push the number down. If I stop by the site and see that there are 18 new forum posts, and then visit again two hours later and see that there are still 18 new forum posts, I don't know if there's anything I haven't read. An ideal statistic would be something like "Unread posts." If that's not feasible, then a timestamp for the most recent post might be.
This also applies to problem comments, though I don't read all of those... |

Re: New postings
Actually, I was thinking of having a "digest" mode for new forum posts (the same as for problems). You would click it to see the latest posts over a period of X days.
Is anyone finding the problems difest page useful by the way? |
