How to tell if thread has been read?

[XXX526]

Too hard to tell if thread has been read or not. Can we change the color of the title of unread threads or not?

I've just been using the "new Posts" link at the top of the page...

Yeah just use the "new posts" link up top under "forums." The only posts that will show in there are threads that you have not personally read the replies to. Once you click into one of those threads, it'll bring you to the first unread post that you haven't seen. After that, if you click the "new posts" link when you're done, the thread will not be listed there anymore until someone else submits a new reply, then it will be at the top of the list again awaiting the view from your eyes.

Pretty much this

Once everyone is used to the forum, I ll see if I can make it even easier to see threads. To be fair though, this forum gives people a lot more options than the old one - And it's more secure

I was wondering the same thing.
I also miss the function mark everything read, because there are topics i will never click into. Now these will bemakred unread forever..?

 

[dandoolittle]

There is a button called 'mark threads read' on the left, towards the top

Yeh I'd also like a way to see which threads in a particular forum have unread posts, without having to use the New Posts button.

Just like a bold/un-bold, or a colour change for the read threads etc. Just makes it easier to see what's what at a glance

 

[dandoolittle]

It tells you which posts are unread from your last visit


Or


Click the 'watch forum' button

Sorry didn't make it clear what I meant... I just find the little blue arrows don't make it as clear as a colour/font type change which have a larger effect on the thread title area

It's just a personal thing, when you're in a hurry it's harder to spot the little arrow compared to a more obvious change on the page

Yes, found it
Many many thanks

I'm guessing everyone worked this out?

To recap and make everything clear:

Errata: It is not "New topics" but "New messages", you can get a blue orb and no new topics because it changes when a message is posted on an existing topic or when a new topic is created.
