Many times I read something and, I don't mean to sound mean here but, I don't care to make a comment on somebody's thread. I still like to know that is one I already read without trying to memorize all of them or reread them over and over. So as first stated does anyone know how to identify the ones I've read?
Also, have noticed that when there is a new post to a thread I have read, aside from the letters sticking up out of the envelopes, there is a small blue circle next to the envelope that will skip all the posts I have read in the thread and take me directly to the first new post in it. I just wish the envelope colors were brighter. Am having a hard time noticing the difference between blue and gray, for example. |

This is what I have noticed:
When you are looking at the thread titles, to the left there is an evelope. If it is bluish with papers coming out, there are unread posts. If it is gray with the envelope sealed, then there are no unread posts (you have already read them), if you see a green arrow, it means you replied to the thread (already posted). Hope this helps! |
I did use the archive at the bottom of the page and that did help but it doesn't give you any of the benefits from the "normal" pages. Some of the new features are nice and I'm not trying to use this as a gripe session because I do appreciate being able to come here for free and communicating with others about my craft. It would just be nice to have it so you could know with something noticeable. I did look at and understood the envelopes with the papers coming out and with the envelope closed but as soon as someone posts the envelope gets papers again and I'm back to opening it again. lol We will get used to this new style but just wish there was a way to tell a new thread from added topics. I really could care less if a topic is "hot" or not but hate to keep rereading the same thing. Hopefully this issue is being addressed and once the newness is wore off and the bugs are worked out we can feel comfortable again.

go to the bottom of the page under archive and it will pull up all the threads and you can see which ones you have read, just found that out makes it easier to read from there than the forum

I'm wondering too. I just hate change. I don't know why we had to change. I think most of us were comfortable with the old one... :::sigh:::

Man, this is going to take me awhile also to get used to it all, I keep having to refresh cuz for some reason each
page isn't downloading.....i don't like the new yahoo either.....but I am not going to be defeated!! I would be lost without this board! |

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....

Let's hope it gets better.

I've just noticed that if I go to the final page of the thread and then come out of it, next time I go to the main list, the thread title is no longer in bold. I don't think this happened if I just looked at the first page of the thread.
I think the new design is going to be OK - a learning curve from time to time doesn't do my ageing brain any harm! |
