However, the most significant of these changes is the new "Read Later" link. You'll find it, if you're logged in, on the top-right of posts, and if you're looking at levels, videos, blogs, etc., there's a link next to the "User Comments" text at the top of all the comments. This is useful because you can mark posts as unread so that you'll continue to see that topic highlighted as "new" around the site. For example, if you go into a topic and see a ridiculously huge post and really don't feel like reading it, you can just read it later! Or if you're reading through a really long conversation but suddenly find that you don't have the time to finish it, you can click on the link next to the post your at, and the straight-to-new-posts link (or whatever that's called) will take you to where you left off. I then realized that this could be used as the queue feature that I've been talking about lately. I mean, when Dekudude released his Knytt Stories level "Faith", I actually used the "Read Later" link to remind myself to try it later. However, the problem with relying on this as a queue service is that it's useless if you use it on a super-old level or topic because it's already been bumped far into the depths of the forum's pagination. So I then attempted to create a new option for when browsing the forums that would display only your unread topics. At first I got it to work, but it wouldn't show completely new topics that you never visited before. And then all of a sudden it started making the database to a bunch of infinite loops. So I pretty much gave up on that. Anyway, enjoy the "Read Later" and "Link" features. User Comments (2)
