I have added a link to tghen top of the page called
Projects News
this shows the latest 5 bits of news for most of the projects. Some do not output dates so they are listed in the same order as they export them.

It should update every hour at about 10 to the hour.

Yup it is way Kewl

Ok I'm having a blond moment (not too hard for this redhead) but I honestly don't get what the link is supposed to do.

When I click it nothing happens. Theoretically it sh/would have updated at 20:50 and there should be something but I get nothing

Is it because I'm using subSilver?

Posted: **Thu Mar 16, 2006 9:27 pm**

Nope it works on both styles, it just displays the latest news from the projects RSS feeds

Posted: **Thu Mar 16, 2006 9:32 pm**

Where? Does one have to have RSS enabled?

On a slight tangent why are the forum titles a clickable link which is the forum link?
ie: in Team News the title is clickable to http://ubtforum.icandothis.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=1 which is the forum.
{Deity}!! Talk about going round in circles but I dunno exactly how else to explain it.

Also wouldn't it be an idea to have the link on the index page?

Posted: **Thu Mar 16, 2006 9:34 pm**

Where it says Team News near where you log in or for us on the other style right at the top Projects News

The links on forums are clickable to enable the user to get back to either the main board or the forum they were previously in

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm not the only one who doesn't get it. Yay!

Posted: **Thu Mar 16, 2006 9:48 pm**

Look, I realise I've had a rough day at work and its getting towards the end of the week etc etc but I just can't find what your on about.
Can someone give me a click by click to where it is please.

PS
the realtime boinc stats and graphs on the forum front page are great

Ok on each forum it says the forum title ie "Team News" (underneath it says "Moderators: none"). If you click the forum title you don't go anywhere because the link is http://ubtforum.icandothis.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=1 which is the forum.

Clearer? Probably not

If you are using the blue style message board lok at the top of the page it says Projects News, if your using that White thing look near where you log in and off up the top it says team news press that

Posted: **Thu Mar 16, 2006 10:13 pm**

I will not come over to the dar - oops - blue side.

Hell you lot want to think yourselves lucky that I didn't ask Darren if we could have a cute, pretty, very girly pink theme.

Actually that's vomit-inducing.

I want black, black * and more black

It don't work like that the theme comes like that.

If the file icon is open you know there is a new message, if the file is shut you know there is no unread messages

I wasn't keen on it but really like it, and I also get a lovely flame for popular posts

Possibly dumb question - is it possible to somehow highlight which projects have new news or put all the news for a certain date together?

Get a RSS Reader there great and you can add feeds from all kinds of websites, really functional and easy to use, can tell at a glance if there is any new RSS Feeds

I use RSS Reader
