View New Posts in Idea Exchange

[elset191]

Is it possible to add a feature to View the latest messages posted onto the LabVIEW Idea Exchange.  The ability to sort by last message would suffice.  I like to follow the discussions, but sometimes I see there's a new message, but I have to click through 40 pages to find which topic the reply was posted to.

If anyone is interested, I just realized I can subscribe to the Idea Exchange.  This way I get emailed every time there's a new comment, and the traffic should be sufficiently low so as not to drive me crazy with new emails.

Yes.  That is pretty much the only way right now to be sure you get all the messages.  Occasionally, I can still miss some.  For instance, if I have an e-mail that I thought I clicked on and read the idea linked in it, but actually haven't.  Or the way the long threads that go onto multiple pages, and I miss the last message that rolls onto a new page and I didn't realize it because the link to go to the next page is at the top of the screen.  (And why don't the messages show you that 5 pages are avaible to that thread.)  You can see a count of total messages.  But it will show you Now 1-10, and a link to go to 11-21.  But there is no link to go to the last page.  You have to go through the pages one by to get the link to the following page.

The naviagation controls in the individual threads need major improvement.  (i.e. jump links at the bottom as well as the top, and links that go to other places then the page that just follows your current page.)  And the whole board needs a real sorting mechanism that allows you to view the newest messages whether they are the original message or comments.  The "snapshot" links to the right of the screen just really don't do that.

You can change your email subscription options to a Daily Digest so you just get one email a day if you like instead of an email for every new comment.

Thanks,

Is there a way to make this specific to just the Idea Exchange, because I still want to receive emails for replies to theads I've posted on in the LabVIEW board as soon as there is one.  From what I can tell this is a universal setting.
