Hi gang,
I am sorry for being a crank but I am finding it very difficult to tell what threads have unread posts. Someone said that thread with new unread posts have titles in Black and those with no unread message have titles in Blue. I can't tell the difference in colors. I know I am a bit color challenged but maybe there is something I can do to make new posts more obvious like the older format which boldfaced the titles?
Maybe there is a monitor setting I could try to change the screen color temperatures. I will try playing around a bit.

At the top of the forum page right above the ad box there are 5 buttons. All you need to do is to click on the button "new posts" and it will show all of the new posts since your last visit. :)

If this is true, I can't tell the difference either.


At first I was a little put out by the change but it's growing on me.......

Log in, and find the "New Posts" button and click it. Bookmark that page, and use that bookmark to open the site, and you will see the new posts in each forum since your last visit.

That sort of helps but you get all new posts in all discussion groups as far as I can tell. Si if I go to General Discussion and click the New Posts button, I get post for Discussion, Modifications, For sale etc.
All I want to do is be able to tell what threads have new posts for a specific forum. grrrrr

I will continue to play around....

LOL, you are on here often enough that there are not going to be that many to sift through. Each new thread tells which forum it is in, so just open the ones that you want to read. Right now I am showing seven out of the last eight are from the discussion forum, however, this thread is not showing up, so that may not be accurate.
I just saw the new site for the first time on my home computer this morning, I thought it was broken for the last few days. Now I am on mobile devices for the next week or so and it is a different look than what I saw this morning.

There is one other step you can take so all new posts and posts with new replies show up. when you click the the "new post button" you will see a filter button on the right side of the screen. If you unclick the "unread only button" and save it, all new post and posts with new replies will appear when you hit the new posts button.
