[SOLVED] "NEW articles in Press Forum"

[dree12]

Solved. Thanks Stephen!

This thread is to function simply as a relatively chronological index of the articles that appear in the Press forum.

This thread is useful as the SMF forum software used by BitcoinTalk sorts threads only by Last Post, so it is difficult to see from looking at the Press forum which articles are new when there are comments on older threads.

Those wishing to "subscribe" to this thread with a post are welcome to do so, but please keep it one word ... "subscribe".
With the new Watchlist feature, simply click the link for Watch in this thread to cause this post to reappear in your watchlist whenever there is a new reply.  Here's more on the Watchlist:
 - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90136.0

Please no comments about the articles here, and no links to the article itself, only to the new forum thread created for the article.

I fail to see what the purpose of this thread is. SMF clearly has a sort by first post, here, and the thread is even less accurate than it is (due to people forgetting to post there, etc.). I suggest this post become destickied and the sort by first post feature used in lieu of it.

This remains unresolved, and the thread in question remains active today. The OP of a stickied thread should not be misleading. I request that at least the OP be edited to remove all falsehoods. If no action is taken in the next few days, I will report the post to a moderator for appropriate intervention.

I agree that manually updating a tracker post is a bit silly and futile.

I improved dree's link to be more useful by sorting reverse:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=77.0;sort=first_post;desc

I suggest make a new sticky with a link to the above since there is no evident way in the UI to do this.

From that thread:

Since there is a "Watch Board" feature now, this thread is no longer necessary. Please use the following links to achieve what this thread provided:

• Watch Board (input 77, then press "Watch board")
• Sort By First Post (oldest first)
• Sort By First Post (newest first)

@Stephen Gornick, if you could put this into the OP and lock this thread that would be appreciated.

dree12,

Thank you for suggesting this.  watch_board will automatically add all new threads in that board to my watch list.   That is not what I wish to have occur.  I only wish to have in my watch list those threads which I've purposely added.  I suppose a workaround is to unmark the ones I don't wish to watch, but that would then be a task over and above and introduces watch list clutter which I prefer not to have.

The other options, such as Sort by First Post (oldest first), are inadequate as well.  (no notification)

This index does the job that I, and others I presume, wish to have done.

That thread is also not the appropriate place for this discussion.

I apologize. I have deleted my post there, and you can do the same.

I've updated the OP on that thread to include the watch_board as an alternate method, and mention the link to view the threads chronologically:

Thanks, I went ahead and deleted Stephens since he was offline at the time.
