Question on new post

Steve C. · 05-19-2022, 07:43 AM

When I log in and select new post, it brings up the threads with new posts. However, there may be 300 posts in that thread. I can use the top pane to scroll to new posts, but there may be a few different branches, so have to back out from reading a post then scroll to next one.

Is there a way to see only new posts? Some of the sites I visit only show what I have not read yet. Is there a setting I am missing?

Thanks for any help,

Steve

I go in to "New Posts" and then once the threads open, I hit the right arrow beside the posters name in the :Last Post" column. Then I scroll up if I missed some comments.

"New Posts" takes you to a thread with new posts. At the top of that is a line "first unread" that will take you to wherever you left off yesterday or last week in that thread.

Took me awhile to find "first unread" I was in the hybrid view and it doesn't show there. Thanks.
