Hi all

Just noticed the pull down menu for site selection at the top of the forums window. Now that we have that is it possible (if not already planned) to remember the site selection preference. I normally only look at Aeroscale and to see latest posts it was previously a 2-step process and is now a 3-step process (at least once and then screen refreshes).

It would be great if it would default to my preference for Aeroscale and then I can go through the steps to get to other sites when I feel like a change.

Thanks
Damian

Hi Damian

Maybe Jim's been busy partly in response to the "site-swapping" issue raised recently, and also to allow for the growing number of sites in the Network.

I don't understand what you mean about it being a 3-stage process to look at Aeroscale's posts. Assuming you are already on Aeroscale, pressing the "this site" button filters out everything else in one shot.

All the best

Hi Rowan

Thanks for the response. I don't remember seeing the "this site" button when I wrote the original post but noted it when I logged in today. I thought I may have been jumping the gun when I wrote but I was in a pro-active mood yesterday.

Love the site, keep up the great work.

Hi Damian

I have to admit that I hardly ever use the Latest Posts function , so I don't know if Jim has added the button since you first posted.

All the best

I hardly ever use anythign else but latest posts.

My prefered option would be that the "this site aeroscale" would be immediately activated by clicking on the "forums" button.

Well I always go the latest posts route and Damian is right there was a point yesterday when Jim had not have the "This site" button attached which meant two clicks more to get to the AeroScale LP ... but when I read this post this morning it was long solved ... anyway it works now and I am happy with this solution (did not like the first one: open drop down, select, go)

all the best
