[guide] How to quickly see where a story has been updated

[Nilth]

For those who doesn't know, CHYOO highlights and orders the stories you have in your bookmarks in these cases:

1) Someone voted one of the threads
2) Someone added a new thread
3) Someone upgraded his own thread


Now how can you quickly find out where are the NEW threads, if present?
This could be useful if you don't want to visually search in very long stories, causing your eyes to bleed.

Using Firefox:

1) From your bookmarks, open the "story map" link
2) From this new page, click "show -- page source" (I don't know the exact name, I use a localized vers.)
3) From the page that pops up, click "modify -- search" and write "red" in the box.
4) Only the newly added threads will be marked as "red" in the code. You will see what I mean. Reading along the line you will quickly be able to see where to look

Enjoy.

Worth adding to the Chyoo FAQ?

Man, that is handy to know. I've been using CHYOO for years, and never found a way to determine what's been updated about a story if there aren't any new threads.

I'm not on Firefox now, but I treid to do that when I was, & couldn't figure it out, it seems; Never helped me.

An even better way is already in the CHYOO FAQ:

http://www.chyoo.com/index.php/main.story.page/97690

This uses the power of your browser to highlight these threads in a more noticeable way: big fonts and more red.

Another trick is to use Advanced Search from the Home page, put the name of the story in the Keywords, and search by Thread. This gives you the latest threads updated in the story.
