I think the main problem here is the main brainstorm topic is too broad. Instead of tackling a specific problem and addressing it, we are now faced with unrelated proposals that makes it difficult to manage.

Maybe we can be more specific next time. Quim has categorized the current proposed solutions. We should probably have a brainstorm topic for each of those categories.

There's a big issue with this (for me). If you accidentally follow a link to a post (say from Twitter), then your "new point" is reset. This wasn't an issue with New posts since it showed you "This threads also have unread messages"; but we don't get that with newsub.php.

Fixable?

Yes, it has been showing only threads that has been posted 'today'.

It should now show all threads with new posts for the past 30 days.

Thanks.

Agreed. To use an analogy, what if I created a brainstorm titled "What should be changed in the N900?". That title doesn't reflect a problem -- that's a meta-problem that could encompass many of the brainstorms currently out there. Now, what if I created "What should be changed about the N900 browser?" (or "mediaplayer"). That's still pretty broad. Seems like it would be better to pick a particular problem with the N900 browser or mediaplayer as the subject of the brainstorm.

For this particular brainstorm, I think the problem we are most focused on was filtering &/or adding classifications to t.m.o. The primary purpose is for pre-N900's to be able to filter posts related only to the N900. Although, there might be other purposes, like people wanting to focus on Mer, N900 users wanting to filter out pre-N900 threads, etc. So perhaps a better subject would have been "Add filtering/classification capabilities to talk forum". That would prevent people from adding an irrelevant solution that involves, say, displaying New York Times headlines.

For meta-problems like "Things I don't like about t.m.o.", we could have a thread that dumps problems and spawns brainstorms. Or just a brainstorm category for t.m.o.

Just my two cents' worth.

again: pick your poison. Get too granular, and you just pushed the balloon swell to the other end.

I had thought we were using a project/task model already. My error. But I still believe that's the right approach.

Something weird's happening to me now, it's not restricting it to my "No notification" subscription folders - but given when I go to "My subscriptions" in my Control Panel, I can't tell which may have been lost or not; since unsubscribed appears the same as subscribed-with-notification.

Yes, it will display the newest items in all your subscribed forums regardless if you picked 'no notification' or daily, or weekly.

Now 'My Subscriptions' is entirely different. That displays all your subscribed threads (not forums).

Treat newsub.php as just to display the latest items happening in the forums you are subscribed to.

Earlier though, it listed the fora which were being shown. Now it just says "Posts from last day".

I was getting too many results from newsub.php including posts in the N900 forum which I am not subscribed to.

In playing around, I came up with this URL which seems to work better for me. I think it's telling the search engine to find all new posts in subscribed forums.

http://talk.maemo.org/search.php?do=getnew&s=1

Feel free to try it and see if it works for you.

Sorry. This doesn't work.

Glad it's not me then. I'm still subscribed to everything, as well, as going to a forum and going to "Forum tools" shows "Unsubscribe from this forum"

Unfortunately, that's showing me stuff from the N810 forum which I'm not actively subscribed to ATM. So, nope, no joy :-(
