Read unread messages in only the categories/boards YOU want!

August 01, 2010, 01:38:55 pm

Please note that if new categories/boards are added/changed, these links will have to be updated.

All English boards (technically, all English categories) (Private inclusive):
- All unread: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?action=unread;all;c=2,3,4,16;start=0
- Recent unread: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?action=unread;c=2,3,4,16;start=0

All English boards (technically, all English categories) (Private exclusive):
- All unread: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?action=unread;all;c=2,4,16;start=0
- Recent unread: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?action=unread;c=2,4,16;start=0

Private boards:
- All unread: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?action=unread;all;c=3;start=0
- Recent unread: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?action=unread;c=3;start=0

Give me suggestions for combinations of boards that might be useful, and I can do a writeup. But let me break down how to generate for yourself:

1. Decide if you want categories or boards (can't mix)

2. Hover over a category or board to see its number - a category, look for "c=#" and for board, "board=#.0". e.g. Info/Announcements cat=2 and first board there board=2 (coincidence on numbers)...

2. Decide whether you want recent or all unread (";all" for latter)

3. Build your url:

- http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?action=unread

for all, add:

- ;all

Now add boards or categories:

- ;board=2
- ;boards=2,3,4
- ;cat=2
- ;cat=2,4

And finish:

- ;start=0

Is there a way to use ALL boards but not the following...

Or do I have to list all boards I want?

Must list all the boards you want.

Any possibility of the most popular choice making it into the header links?

No easy way to change header links, but it's very easy to make bookmarks.
