New Posts Since Your Last Visit
« on: April 30, 2005, 12:54:00 PM »
There will be a Yellow lightbulb beside any new posts since your last visit.  
 
 You can update this by going to My Profile and clicking on:
 
 
   Update New Post Indicators  
 
 
 This function will update the board's new post indicators to flag topics that have been posted to since either the start of your browser session or the last time that you logged in or used this function.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Not to be difficult, and just a sugggestion, ... But (there is always a "BUT")....
 
 Is there anyway, on this board, to mark a topic as read, if you're still here?
 
 At "that other site", once you read a topic, it loses a "new" banner, until someone else posts.
 
 It would be easier to see what topics you haven't read, if it worked like that...
 
 But if not, we'll just have to "play in our own ocean"!  :rs:

the only other way, other than the yellow light bulb thingy is the active topics.  At least that I've found so far.
 
 Active topics update every minute or so.  They will have every post that has been active for the past 24 hours in order of posting.  So if you start at the top and work your way down you'll know at a glance if you've read it.
