We are less than a day into the new board. As with all things new this to will take some time to adjust to.

Not liking this so far, so not user friendly. Hopefully some adjustments will be made to make this easier to get around in.

We WILL figure it all out. It just takes time and faith. I have more faith than time and the old board was easier because we were used to it. I think this will be okay in time....

I would like the answer to this also. When I go back there is no way to tell if I've read it until I get into it. Seems I am reading the same ones over and over

At the bottom of the page (not this one, the page that lists all the threads), there is a key as to the envelope colors. Don't know if this key will help or not since additional, unread comments could be added after you first look at it and change the envelope color back to blue.

Here's what I did.

I went to MAIN and at the bottom there is a THREAD DISPLAY OPTIONS. I chose to show posts for the last 2 days in descending order. I clicked SHOW THREADS ( look to your right of thread display options). This brings up all threads for the past 2 days.

I go through the threads and read the ones that interest me. Once I read a thread, the color changed so that I now know which threads I have read.

Edited to say....I can do this for any of the categories, not just MAIN.

go to archive on the bottom then hit main. After you read them, they turn pink so you know which ones you read.

I know, a few of us that were in chat last night did tests. There is a visible diffence to the the title of the thread IF you are reading posts from a specific forum (ie Main, General Chit Chat, etc) AND IF you hit "refresh" after exiting the thread.

There is no visible change to threads when they are read from the "whats new" section. I *think* a lot of us use this as it's a "one stop shopping" place so to speak.

I really would like that feature back.
