  • What is the urgency to close this?

    It seems like this is something that could stay around for week so anybody that visits once a week will get to see it.
  • @Old_Joe Right now the Napoleon hat is being paraded through the street's for my subjects to see, so I'm forced to wear my crown. It's a tough job but someone has to do it.

  • Thanks Chip and Accipiter for your efforts.

    That's been my plan.

    @Accipiter and @chip

    Thank you very much.

    Note: I arise at 6am EST everyday. I do two things firstly. First, is a very large cup of hot coffee while the pc boots; then secondly, signin to MFO. A very nice method to start my day.
  • @catch22; You must have very strong kidneys, the first thing I do after my butler wakes me up is go to the bathroom.
    Regards,
    Ted

  • I just noticed that we now have the option to either "mark all viewed" or "mark category viewed". That's just great! I was wishing for such an option, and it appeared as if by magic. Now I'm gonna try wishing for some other stuff and see what happens...

    if you have more feature requests or changes, post your suggestions in the Technical Questions category, then Chip will let me know if David wants the change, and I can try to make it happen when they request it.

    I see those choices when you click the "gear" icon, but what does that actually do if you click one of those?

    By the way catch22, some advise. Get a SSD for your device. Mine use to take over 2 minutes to boot. Now it is 5 seconds.

    @Maurice, is this with your computer on standby or 'sleep' for the night......or turned off?
    If you can turn the power on and have it boot in 5 seconds.....that's an amazing thing. Still very fast to boot from standby/sleep/hibernate or whatever in 5 seconds.
  • @Accipiter: The stuff I was wishing for you and David ain't gonna be no help with, I'm afraid. This is a family posting site, after all... :-)

    @rjb112: If you are in the "Fund Discussions" category, you can mark all of those posts as read; if you're in the "Off-Topic" category, you can mark just those as read. I'd swear that wasn't there yesterday- I think that Accipiter is doing magic stuff in the background...

    @Old_Joe, still not clear on it...I've not clicked either of those. Does something come up and then after you read each post, you mark that you read it? Then on your view it will always show that you already read that post?

    I haven't changed anything since the weekend.

    you can also mark them here as well

    http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/categories

    which i think you pointed out.




    and if anybody forgot. you can click on the orange feed icon

    from this page

    http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/categories

    and see something like this for fund discussions.

    And if you move your mouse slightly to the left of the title on the link below.

    http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/discussions

    or here

    http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/categories/general


    you will see a discussion tooltip that give you a preview of the discussion topic initial post.

    handy for these categories

    http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/categories/thebullpen

    http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/categories/the-ot-bullpen


    same as all topic pages in each category.


  • @rjb112: Normally, each post that you have not read is highlighted with a small yellow "New" flag. As you select and read a particular post, that flag disappears.

    Use of the "Mark as read" commands will simply extinguish all of the yellow "New" indicators, for either the "Fund Discussion" or "Off-Topic" categories. The "Mark All as Viewed" command will do the same, but universally, for all categories.

    Note that after you have used those commands, if someone posts a new post, or adds a comment to an existing post, the "New" flag will once again appear to inform you that something new has been added.
  • @Accipiter- thanks, man... I guess that I just missed the category setup. Nice work!
  • @Old_Joe, thanks, great explanation.
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • The performance of SSD's is super fast for all tasks. The boot up depends on all the stuff you have to load.
