can you filter/remove incomplete posts from the dl lists?

Postby thumbsupracing » Fri Feb 19, 2016 1:18 am

Newb question after poking around I can't find an obvious solution. Just upgraded from 6.56 to 6.62. In previous versions my completed downloads were displayed as a white background vs the standard light green. This is something I'm accustomed to as a placemarker to quickly scroll through the list and see what I've already downloaded. Now in 6.62 the incomplete posts are displayed with a white background. I don't see an obvious way to either change the incomplete post background or ideally remove incomplete posts altogether from my group lists. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My incompletes are showing a blue background.

In the options under "Colors/Fonts" you can change the background color for incompletes.

Looking at Colors/Fonts in B5, I only see

Old
Downloading
Failed

Partial download

Where is Incomplete?

I'd try "Partial Download".

That's it, thanks! Dumb not to try that first before posting but I was taking "download" literally as if I had partially downloaded the post.

Never really messed with colors at all before now. Liking it :-)

So idle/old is the only thing in posts list that I can't control the color on? Grey works for me though so don't know that I'd really want to change it.
