The closest thing the new board has to the old boards "unread" feature is the "Archives" You can find that link at the very bottom of the page. It has EVERY thread ever posted listed, and the newest one on each forum is listed at the top. If you have an updated browser, and cookies enabled, they will change color after you've read them. The new board is wonderful, a lot of work has gone into tweaking it for members, and we all should appreciate it, or if it doesn't make you happy anymore, consider moving on....one of life's lessons I've learned.
