Big Cam Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Even though I pretty much only collect SW sets, I love the whole LEGO line, so I like to just browse the entire forum and see what's new. I've been using both links alot and it got me wondering, is there a difference? Wouldn't active topics have new posts in them?? I'm just curious that's all. Quote
prateek Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 New Posts = new topics Active Topics = new posts in old topics Quote
Siegfried Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 New posts misses a lot. If you jump on the site at 2pm, quickly look at one topic, and then come back at 5pm, all that "New Topics" will show is between 2pm and 5pm. All the stuff that was shown at 2pm is "lost". "Active topics" doesn't work that way and shows a lot more. I much prefer "Active Topics"... and that's why I added it to the header of all pages! Quote
WhiteFang Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I much prefer "Active Topics"... and that's why I added it to the header of all pages! Same here. I prefer "Active Topics" as it provide a great overview of the current discussion among our members. Quote
Rick Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 "Active topics" is my main way of navigation on Eurobricks and always in the same place on the page I click it dozens of times a day Quote
Big Cam Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Good to know, I am now an official active topic user. As opposed to a New posts user. Thanks guys Edited August 25, 2009 by Big Cam Quote

Big Cam Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 You mean you go through every topic m...a...n...u...a...l...l...y? He's got the posts to show for it. I see him everywhere. Quote
Skipper 24 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 You mean you go through every topic m...a...n...u...a...l...l...y? Yes . I mainly just stay in Star Wars though so it's not so much of a deal. I just check to see if there are new posts using the icons on the left hand side of any of the forums. Quote
tedbeard Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 New Posts = new topicsActive Topics = new posts in old topics Nope. I use "New Posts" and it brings up new posts in any topic not just new topics. Quote
