Did you know that if you click the little red icon before a thread, it'll take you to the first unread post?

I actually discovered that a few months ago by accident. But I do use it often, so I don't repost stuff that has already been posted in that same thread.

I use it all the time.

Great idea to post it here though. Seems like many didn't know what it was for!

Well I didn't know you could CLICK on it to be transfered there immediately, but I always look for the last red dot next to the posts so I know where I left off.

Thanks for letting everyone know that you can click it. It will be handy for Gaspy's thread, so I don't want to smack someone for getting the "No posts exist for this topic" message.

You mean I understood something that you younger, more forum savvy people did not?

It's the only way to read the board!

(ok, Deb? before I go thinking I am all superior, is there a certain preference setting that people can click to make those red icons show differently that other settings? I think I have mine set to show new posts )

ETA:

I still get that.

Everyone does. Gaspy's thread is as special and stupid as Gaspy is.

I didn't know that I learn soething new everyday

*raises hand*

Did not know. Feel a better person for knowing now.

Luckily, I don't care to read half the shit. But I am glad to know of any shortcuts as I am fuckin' lazy

Welcome to my world, but I have to read it. *sigh*

Oh Deb,

Life is about choices. Free will sister. Just say no.

As an Administrator, I do not have that luxury.

But being an administrator is a choice. And we all know that the fringe bennies are no good. You need an agent. Renegotiation

Ahhh Deb, I feel for you!

I have a dumb question about that red thing for unread messages. I notice that if I'm away for more than 24 hours or logs off all the red alerts disappear and I need to guess what I didn't read by the date. Is there anyway to make those red alerts stay till I read them even if I'm gone for awhile?

Interesting...I used to have that problem, but not anymore.

I'm sure Deb or Dave can help you out.

The red alert is only valid for that session only and no, there is no way for them to stay on.

It goes by each 'session'. So log on, read the board, log off.

OK thanks.

Anytime.

Just an FYI, Insaneinthesfv now goes by Insane.

Yea, the board went down, but did you know you can follow us on Twitter?
