I use the "New Posts" button.
Then go through "Active Threads".

I click "New Posts" at the top. sucks when we get spammers and you guys clear em out it resets that list and alot of times stuff slips through but it gives me the most familiar way to deal with the volume of posts i read.........

I click "New Posts" at the top.
It would be nice to be able to select how many "new" posts it would display... 25, 50, 75..100 or by date or time 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days.
This would help to filter the results since the last visit.
Just some constructive input.

For this forum I go straight to the new posts. But when initially educating myself, i would google a subject w/ mrf as the platform. The content is MUCH better and respected than others IMPO, but it is not as frequent (which I actually prefer). For me, 99% viewed through tapatalk 2 (now that you tube & vimeo works...)

I always click on the general discussion subforum as the vendor specific stuff dosent apply to me ( home made frame and op controler)
I used to click o the "new posts" but it was always full of dji threads

 

[Jake Bullit]

Click new posts,then just open the ones that interest me.

 

[Bowley]

Generally start with New Posts. but go to subforum if looking for particular thread topic.

 

[ProPilotWannaBe]

From the home page I go to the 3-4 threads I am interested in if they have "new posts" symbol, and read all new posts since my last visit.

I mainly use Tapatalk for easy access to the forum. I brows, subscribe and check my favourites (subscribed threads).

thanks for the feedback guys. we've got a policy here that we don't allow double posting. we've seen people post the same thing in multiple threads in order to increase traffic but it shows up twice on the Active Threads listed and splits the conversation in two. the end result is less effective for the OP and if it were more widespread it would clog up the Active Threads page. so we delete or merge double posts and PM the OP asking that they not do it again.

the poll confirms that the Active Threads page is a popular way to surf the site and that the double posting policy is justified. i'm not much of a policy and protocols enforcer kind of guy but if we don't impose some minimal amount of order around here it might get sloppy in a hurry.

thanks!

that looks like the tapatalk files on the multirotorfrums server that are out of date, not the security certs

try going to tapatalk.com and download the latest files for v-bulletin and upload them with an ftp

Tapatalk 2 works fine without the error.

Old thread. The 'new posts' button has disappeared from the forum since yesterday's update. Any chance of bringing it back?

 

[Jake Bullit]

+1 for new posts button.

 

[Bartman]

it's the "Active Threads" button, it moved to the left one slot and I actually deleted the "Home" button as you can always return to the home screen by clicking the header logo in the top left corner of every page

trust me, i understand how sacred the "Active Threads" button is.

is that what you guys were talking about?
