First impressions

Is there an obvious way to see whether you have read a thread or not? I'm sure the old system used to grey it out or the jump to last post button would disappear (can't quite remember - just aware I knew which ones I had just looked at).

And I'm going to try the watched threads as I haven't tried that yet.

Yes, threads with unread items should be bold titled and have a little bullet next to them (see red highlight on image below).

You can also tell which threads you've posted in because it has a little mini-me avatar (see yellow highlight on image below).

Thanks - I've just realised that it was because I was using the "What's New" feature and there never seemed to be any change. Now I've worked out it is because the thread I've just looked at has now disappeared because I've looked at it. So all the buttons are all switched on. Just a case of getting used to it working differently.

I'd sussed which threads I had posted in ... I noticed the little pictures of me

What's New works a bit differently - it will show you new "unread" items by default and as you click on them they will be removed from the list.

To show read and unread new items, click on "All Recent Messages" on the right hand side at the top of the list.

Cheers,
Shaun
