It would be really great if, every time I viewed the discussion board, the replies since I last viewed it were highlighted in some way. I can see in the list of discussions when there are new posts and how many, but once in the discussion, it's like a needle in a haystack to find the new posts - especially when the discussion is long.

Raul Lozada I collected a wish list of Populi features from our faculty and this particular feature was the most requested! The task of finding which post is the most recent, especially when there are many discussion posts, is really like trying to find a needle in a haystack, as Leona suggested. Our school would greatly appreciate this particular feature to be implemented by Populi. #HACSDL

Hello again, Populi Support.
I am conducting another orientation with students, and again, this request to highlight and/or be able to distinguish the unread discussion posts from those already read keeps coming up. Any luck with Populi developers working on this feature?

Adam Sentz @Raul - When a feature is under development we'll usually mark it as "Planned".

Adam Sentz This went live with our last release.

Chris Crowley I know there is a little, blue "NEW" button that pops up on unread discussions. That said, is there a way to sort discussions to bring new posts to the top. Or a way to click to the next unread post?

Adam Sentz @Chris - We are planning to add sorting when we can carve out some time to work on discussions. Sorry it took so long to respond!

Toby Robinson You can now sort discussions by oldest, newest, unread, recent activity, and most activity.
