question about "show unread posts since..." link

[NombekoRRs]

Hi there,

somehow this "show unread posts since last visit" link on the upper left side of this site does not seem to work for me. Almost (!) every time I click on it I get the reply, that there are no unread new topics, and even when I am sure that there are and when I have not been here for a day or more. This is spooky


Does anybody have an idea what might be going one here?

There are actually three links to show unread posts.

The link that says:

'Show new replies to your posts' will only show threads you have posted to.


The link that says:

'Show unread posts since last visit'

Shows the threads that you have not posted since your last visit that have new posts.


You have to read all of the unread posts since last visit to see the third link.

If you do not have any unread posts since last visit you will get an option to see more new topics. That's usually where the new posts are hiding if you know there are new posts but it won't display them for you.

Thanx, I will try that option.
 
I was only wondering why the system would try to trick me out and don't show the new posts (to topics I haven't been posting to) although I knew there where new posts...

It also confused me for a little while. Then when I clicked on the link that said there were more unread posts I had a whole bunch to go through.


Of course the most recent posts are always down at the bottom of the main screen.

I don't dare to click on that link as I am sure all the old topics from April/Mai (before my registration) will show up that I haven't found the time to read through yet and I really love it that it still says "new" and I can get through these old posts one by one...

Or will they keep being shown as "new" if I click on that "more unread posts link" as long as I don't read the individual threads?

Yes. They will stay in the more unread posts area till you either read them or until you click on the 'mark all read' link.


I don't know if it will show any of the posts before you registered.

Thanx for your patience and sorry for being a nuisance.


Will try that out

thank you Rosebud      for explaining about the Unread Posts.

We, the Forum Administrators and Kennel Managers, have had lots of things happening behind the scenes in our personal lives - mostly dog releated.  I want to take a moment to thank EVERYONE for helping others, and keeping the forum moving forward. 

Just when I think I will be able to complete the reading of all my Unread Posts...another kink forms in my air supply and I have to resurface before getting the Bends!

Thank goodness someone had the smarts to ask that question because I certainly didn't.  I consider myself very computer savy but also very busy.  I never noticed the link or thought to ask.  I assumed there weren't many posts and everyone was having a busy summer.

LOL...sorry if I missed giving Congratulations or question from previous posts.
