I had been wishing there was a feature like that, a "new activity indicator" on the board itself.

Well, if you're adamant about not using the "New Posts" option, you can just check the icons. If the forum has this icon:

, then it has new posts. If it has this icon:

then it has none.

Flint · 04-19-2006, 10:44 AM

Sorry, I meant within the board itself, on each thread.

I'd like to have some "mark thread as read" button so that I wouldn't have to jump to the last page and back again.

Then use this icon:

If it's there, it will pop you to the first new post. If it isn't there aren't any.

Also the envelope icon at the beginning of each thread title changes color, beige in unread, blue is read and an arrow means you've posted in that thread at some time.

Flint · 04-19-2006, 11:27 AM

Oh! Hey, thanks man. There are so many features here.

Flint · 04-19-2006, 04:47 PM

I've also been wondering under what circumstances the thread title goes into bold print . . . ?

Happy Monkey · 04-19-2006, 05:37 PM

When there's a

, as far as I can tell.

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature.

I love how I can reset the signature and it randomly cycles. Well I think it does. I just can't wait to see what it comes up with next.

simple minds are easily amused

If I push the' respond to this post' icon. I don't see where it specifies to which post I was responding.

Happy Monkey · 04-21-2006, 05:41 PM

Most people don't use the nested view where that would be visible. If the context is not immediately obvious, it's best to use

instead of

, and delete all but the relevant bit. Lots of times I don't quote someone, thinking that I'll be the post immediately after them, and it turns out that someone snuck in before me. I'll often then edit my post to include a quote.

(I just happened to see this after making a similar suggestion on adifferent post - probably the one that prompted you to write this.
