    Hello admins
    Can you turn this on, the options to guest isn't the best.
    The adminaddict drop down doesn't work either, and it would be fantastic if we had a "todays post" option
    I've a few times and wanted to see todays post but didn't want to login just to see the new post.

    please consider my suggestion

    thanks
    -Brandon

    Sometimes I don't want to login just to see what new threads have been posted ;)
    I've always allowed this to guest, I give them as much content as I can and it's always worked out very well.
    I'd say 90% of the forums I visit do this as well, it was just a suggestion but I guess the staff isn't interested or hasn't seen the suggestion.
    ps.. I also pointed out the broken drop-downs ;)

    Nick wasn't online last night, I don't think, and was on only briefly this morning. Since he's not in the habit of ignoring threads, particularly a suggestion, I'm sure he'll reply when he returns. :)

    Thanks, Peggy - this is exactly the case.

    I'm only in for a short while this afternoon/evening as well so I'll address this to calm everyone down. :D

    I've been aware of the broken drop-downs actually, and have absolutely no idea how to fix it. It's really weird that it works perfectly for logged-in members, but not guests.

    I will add the Today's Posts link to the navbar for guests; I've added it to my ever-growing list of things to do. :)

    I can take a look if you like, there are 2 sets of code for those drop downs, usually both in the navbar but it looks like you have a set in the header that isn't connecting to the 2nd part.

    awesome, Thanks Nick! :)

    I always thought the today's posts was a conditional anyway. Guests are shown Today's posts and logged in users are shown New Posts. Am I imagining things? :p
