Question What do the envelopes mean? Help

When choosing a thread to read there are envelopes to the side. Some are read and some are blue. What do they mean? How can you tell if you've already read that thread? It doesn't appear any different after clicking on it. Help! Also is there a way to get to unread topics or do you have to visit each individual section? It's difficult finding my way around.

This was my same question in another area. At this point, all I can see is you need to type a posting to each thread you read so a little arrow pops up on that thread and be sure it is at least 10 spaces long.

Well, that didn't work or it take a long time for the arrow to show up. This whole thing is getting a bit frustrating. I'm trying to stay positive but my tea is getting cold.

LeeAnn, I think unread is now What's New at the top in the menu bar. There is a key at the bottom left-hand side that shows what they represent, It may be minimized,just click on the arrow .

I, too, thought the envelope color was supposed to change when you read that post, but mine doesn't change and in order for me to change it, someone has to "draw me a picture" or lead me step by step....If I click too many buttons I am REALLY in trouble!! Hopefully someone can help and I do believe it will get better.

scroll wayyyyyyyyyyy down to almost the bottom of the page and you can set your reading to how ever many dates you want to see. Then scroll down further and you will see what the colors of the envelopes mean. As with anything new, it's challenging to learn, but if a person wants to, they will. Happy Scrolling

I'm as confused as many of you, as I'm trying to navigate my way around on the QB. Wish they would have left it as it was, because it was easy and fun, and now they've made it a chore! I haven't given up yet.
