Is it possible to create a list of new posts?

Forum URL: (private)

We have just started our new board so we are all novices

Is it possible to show list of "new" posts somewhere rather than have to click into each and every board to see new posts.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

On the home page, in Forum Information & Statistics, there is a link for most recent threads & most recent posts.

Duhhh, we didn't even notice that.

Thanks you so much!

msdownunder, in addition to what Pearson said, once you have that URL, if you'd like to, you can then put it into a navigation bar menu.

To do that:

1. Open a new tab in your browser, go to your admin panel (either by clicking on the button in the navigation menu, or by adding /admin at the end of your forum URL.

2. Once you're there, navigate to Settings > Forum Settings > Navigation (second option from the left in the Forum Settings pane).

3. Once there, go down to the bottom of your navigation and you'll see a button that says Add Custom. If you click on that, a new line will come up. Paste the URL you got from Step 1, and paste it into the area where it says URL. You can name it whatever you like. Some people name the link "Recent Posts," for example.

A note about the URL: when you put in the URL, you will paste the full URL (http://yourforumname.proboards.com/posts/recent)

In addition to the above, you can just use relative URLs when linking to your own site.

For example, instead of:

http://support.proboards.com/posts/recent

You could just use this:

/posts/recent

This way if your forum ever undergoes a URL change or has a custom domain added to it you don't have to update all of your navigation bar links because the browser knows you want to navigate to that path on the current domain since no protocol was specified.
