On some boards I visit there's a way to revisit threads on which you've posted to see posts that follow yours. Does this forum have anything like that? Sometimes I'd like to pick up a thread where I left off. Here, I have to read over all the threads I already read before I come to the new ones.

Click on Unread topics at the top of the page. Thats what I do to read the newest topics.
You can click on bookmarks to keep track of it and if you have posted a comment on the topic...you can click on My posts and it will take you to ALL the posts that you replied to. :) good luck.

click on the unread topics

to follow a thread you can bookmark it here or also under watched topics (the check mark at the bottom of the thread automatically saves it so if you don't want to follow that thread just remove the check mark

also I save the threads I follow in "My Pages" that way can be in alphabetical order instead of messed up in bookmarks

click on 'My Posts' to find the ones you commented on.


Click on Recent Topics. These appear to the far right in the "Last Post" column: => ->
The first is where you stopped reading. The second is the last post.

those little arrows in the "last post" column help you to do that.

If you click on the "watch" tab at the top of a topic, or check the box in the quick reply box if you comment, the topic will appear in your "Watched Topics." This is at the top of the page :D:D:D

Then when you click on Watched Topics, a list of topics will appear that you are watching.
At the far right to the name of the topic is this symbol => click on it, and it will take you to where you left off the last time you were there. :D:D:D

This will also work anywhere on the board, for any topic that you have already opened and read.

hi everyone, from the help section - check out the # and the ^ on the right of each message.

click on = and this link will take you to the last post you've read inside the topic, so you can quickly check new replies below.Click on ^ and this link will take you to the very last post inside the topic.
