I just use "Archive" at the bottom of the page. The color tells me which posts I haven't read and since they are organized by most recent first, it's much easier for me to "navigate" that way. When the format changed to this new way, I got so lost and frustrated I almost gave up on Quilting Board altogether. But now that I just use the Archive feature, I'm back to my "old way" of looking at all the topics and I avoid all the "quirks" I see others complaining about.
