Hello!
How to monitor new posts in a forum, without counting the minutes passed to generate a new false alert?
For example, a new post shows:
Posted 1 minute ago;
Posted 2 minutes away;
Posted 1 hour ago;
etc.
Timestamps are a common source of unwanted notifications. Distill offers a way to remove specific elements from selection using its visual selector. Checkout the following article to see how:
Once all of the timestamps have been deselected (removed from selection), they shouldn’t trigger any alerts.
Hello, thanks for the reply.
When a new post appears, new unselected elements appear, including differences in the passage of time. Does the Visual Selector have options to ignore this time pass on new posts?
A different approach would be to monitor individual post links:
That way the next post would have a different numerical value and greater than the previous one.
Hello again.
Tried as Href but it won’t work in this case.
If I select all indicators to ignore, a new post generates new time indicators and I get new false alerts.
Is there any way to generate a pre-selection for future posts?
I just need to get notifications of every new post. No change alerts.
I tried using the feed, but the site takes a long time to update.
I’m using the print version tentatively, but it won’t work in all situations.
Is there any more detailed document regarding Distill? Maybe there is but I haven’t found it.
