Sciencemadness Discussion Board

Another section for 0 reply threads just like today's posts

Threads that aren't replied in 24hrs disappear from the Today's Posts. Some of them only get replies after days. I think there also should be a section for threads that have no replies but 24hr has passed so they can be easily found and get replies.

Please, no more "sections"......... What you are referring to, is a "button". Pretty cool idea, but now that registration is closed, everyone should know how to use the forum properly.
If I haven't logged in for a couple of days (a very rare occurrence in fact), I can just click "today's posts" and select the number of days I want in "Show thread activity from the past (insert number of days here) and see all the threads and replies from the time since my last visit.

Joe would vote for a "threads with no replies" button but it not essential.

Please don't try to reform the board completely, it worked well as it is for a pretty long time now.
It just sounds like to me if you want to leave your own personal mark on the board, and usefulness is only second degree?

i like that .also is there a way to find post or Threads related to specific compound? i know some times we can find them at SMWIKI .some post preparations that run many pages i got no time to read them all. like making phosphorus (https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/viewthread.php?tid=65 ). i think most people would really like if there is proper procedure for some chemicals like in https://www.prepchem.com/ or http://www.orgsyn.org .
thanks

I use Google, go to google search page and enter;

site:sciencemadness.org xxxxx yyyyyy zzzzzz

where xxxxx, yyyyy, zzzzz and any others are the text that you are searching for, using the usual google syntax

e.g. site:sciencemadness.org "copper sulphate" "sulaiman"

will find posts, article titles etc. where both "copper sulphate" and "sulaiman" appear together, ignoring upper/lower case distinctions.

rocky don't distract others with other issues. Focus on the sank threads issue.

I am not sure why we are discussing something that is not a problem. Fusso, please do not create problems where they don't exist.
This board layout is not sophisticated -- granted. But it is not terribly difficult to search or navigate to what interests you. I think anyone with the mental fortitude to cope with Chemistry should be able to cope with this.

I guess I have an advantage. I do have a special button for threads that deserve zero further replies.
Closed.
