As of last week, I have stopped hoping. Every discussion board I know of has a new posts feature except NewBB. It was the first and only significant problem I saw about using Xoops. One of my very first posts in this forum was
a query about this in November 2004. Since then I've seen a dozen posts asking why it can't be implemented. I eventually
asked a direct question in this post in early February 2005.
To date, the developers of NewBB have never responded to any of the posts about this issue, so I am left to assume the answer is that a) it can't be done and b) there are no plans to do it.
I like the look of NewBB and the PDF feature is cool. But topics are lost from the recent posts block in a matter of hours so are out of sight for those that visit just once a day, unless of course they choose to review the content of every forum. A forum is a core component of a portal and it is a significant decision which one to use. With so little feedback about the plans for NewBB I have resigned myself to using the IPB board from www.bbpixel.com.
Actually, I'm glad I have, because this has been bugging me for too long!
