How do I find the most recently posted questions easily?

2019-06-16T21:46:04-04:00

I've been off RP for a couple years since I was overseas, and it was a couple busy years dealing with the DPRK. I am trying to get back in the swing of things, but the site has changed a ton. It's almost not user friendly. I tried to see the most recent postings so I can answer, but it is smattered with posts from years ago, which is super annoying. Anyway to fix that?

I just go to home and then start scrolling. Yes, this is like the old Mad Magazine where the questions and the stories get recycled.

Your name was recognizable, I did not appreciate you had been off the net. Welcome back. Have you changed in the interim? CSM Carl Cunningham

When you select "Home", you have the three options available. 1, "My Feed" pretty much looks like a list of all post types. 2, "Answers" is where the posts related to asking and answering questions lies. You can chose to sort by date posted (default), which (should be) the most recent questions, or Last Activity, where the last comment will have a post show up first even if it's from a year ago. 3, is "Command Post" and I'm not too familiar with that one.

I hope that helps.

Use page down key or scroll, unfortunately. On my PC the more you scroll the slower the loading. Posting comments can be slow also due to the buffer being full. Delayed reaction on keystrokes. Best wishes.

Click in the search bar at the top and then click answers in the drop down.

CSM Carl Cunningham - I am fairly new to RP, having just started in February 2019, but I've learned to navigate the maze pretty easily... One can search by individual o the top white search area, then click on discussions and see what that person has written for the day or has responded to. It can be done for multiple people you are interested in, one at a time... One can also key in a "Topic" in the same search area! As an example, if one was interested in Music, you can search that topic and look at all Posts or responses that include music for that day and backwards from there..., same for "Space' and most any other Topic in the Rally Point listing... It does take a little work, but it is not difficult and when in doubt about, go to "Answers" and post a question or go to RP Help... Some patience might help for a short while, but If I can do it anyone can...Contact me if you need to and I will help you as much as I can... Have a great day, Carl!

Not only is common sense uncommon, but also I doubt that you could find many who could define it.
