Trying advanced Option
I was able to post this with no problem. I was worried at first because the first post I clicked on said it couldn't be navigated to. The advanced option lets you choose an icon. It didn't go in this thread, it's up by the title. I see now that I must scroll down to check the option to get notified if someone comments, it used to be automatic unless it was unchecked. Now I get to see if this comes to my email.

All the forum catagories populate, and you can click on the ones you want to see and it lists the all the posts in that catagory, newest on top. I think this might be as close to what those of us that loved to use the "unread topics" link on the old site? Click each one you care to read, it takes you to the post. On the browser I use, IE, once you read one, the link will change color. Perhaps this will make it easy for you to make sure you're seeing all new posts. If I'm correct on this, this "generic" link might be the way to go for some of you who absolutely don't like all the new bells & whistles.

Edit: there's a simpler way to find Archives. use the search window and type in "Archives". it comes up.

Thank you for sharing this information. I just got on to read everything and was blown away by all the changes
this board has made. Its so much easier to click on ARCHIVE and find everything I have been searching for. Not
sure what prompted the board to make all these changes...wasn't unhappy with the way they posted on the old board.
It just was so much easier to have each topic and just click on the ones I wanted to read. Again thanks for your help.
I was about ready to give up and drop this from my contact this. Betty Lee

Go to settings on the top right of the page. You should be able to find on the left side of the page your messages and bookmarks. I still haven't learned how to bookmark something new yet. Hope this helps.
