I see it at the bottom when viewing a thread.

I've cleaned up the new Literature Archive. It should look a bit nicer now. I still have work to do and I need to add the ability to look by year for matches.

Can you point it out for me? I don’t see it yet and it used to be hard to miss but I am getting old.

One interesting thing on the new forum is if you click the PREVIEW button immediately below the reply box (which I don't remember being present on the old forum) the preview shows as a straight line which makes the browser page need to scroll across the window to see it all. If you use the preview button at the bottom of the page next to the submit or cancel buttons the preview displays in another box above the reply just like the old forum did.

Don,

It will only show when you are not filtering by a specific post. So if you see post_id= in the url but not topic_id = then it wont show. Which is what happens when you are using those jump to last post shortcuts. If you just click name of the thread from the topic list, then it will show. You'll notice that the topic_id shows in the URL and then the code that generates the Notification options box then is displayed. Bascially if that Topic_ID is not passed then that notification option is not displayed as it needs that value as Notifications are assigned by Topic ID not Post ID.

Howard,

That was something that is built into that DHTML Textbox control natively. So, I agree, it's confusing. I've disabled it.

The Literature Section now has the View By Year category stuff wired back in. So now you can see all the Literature for a specific year.

Not sure if I mentioned it before but I’ve noticed a few empty posts. While I have deleted some posts over the years, I’ve never posted “nothing” so can you please check it out? No urgency, of course,

In the screen capture I posted, I was not filtering by a specific post but there just happened to be only a single post on that page. The only time I see the option to follow or unfollow a thread is if I select Next Topic or Previous Topic which, of course, takes me to a different topic. If I want to add or remove myself from the currently viewed topic, there is no way to do so when there was a way before.

If you click on the name of the topic on the bread crumbs. It will take you to the root of that thread. The option will be available.
