Read posts . . .

[mspace]

I used to go by the change in color of posts to mark where I left off reading the previous day in the old forum. Here, it gets unbolded.

I'm seeing posts I know I've read be bolded again, which I assume is because there is a new reply.

I am sorting by creation date. Does the order of posts stay the same, even if the bolding changes?

Is there any other way for me to mark "last post read (for me)"?

Thanks!

If you click the little green arrow by the thread title, and yes it is small, it will take you to the first new, unread post.

Not quite what I meant.

I might have used the wrong term.

I'm talking about the THREAD list, not posts within a thread.

It's the list on the main page in the category, say "Tips and Deals". That's where the color or bolding changes, so I know where I left off.

So your browser shows the link in a different color if you have seen that link before. This is how it works on most sites, and I think that is how it worked at the old forum. 

Here I did not notice a chance in color if you have already visited that link.

Is that what you meant?

This is unrelated to the fact that there are new posts inside the thread (bold)

If you want to differentiate between "threads you've read with new replies" and "threads you haven't read yet" - I don't think there's a way to do that since both will appear as bold with a green arrow.

The new forum seems to ignore the "clicked link changes color" web standard (if that's even much of a standard anymore), but this seems typical of other forums as well. I.e. if the previously read threads were in purple (could even be bold and unbold depending on replies) that would be helpful. Maybe you can force that to happen at the browser level?

I sort by Creation Date.

New posts to old threads don't change the thread order or the order of the posts within the thread.
