Maybe you already knew this ..

but I just discovered today that when you click on the little orange square that appears next to the topics (right side under Recent Topics) it takes you directly to the first unread post for that thread. When you click on the thread heading itself it takes you to the original post. If you've read all the posts in that thread, no orange box appears. I only knew the blue versus black color distinction so far to identify read/unread topics. I love all the little bells & whistles on this board:graysmile:

did not know this. Thanks for the info. I think no one is replying cause they are checking it out, and then it leaves this thread!

I knew there was no orange box when you've read it all... but I figured that was just to show what was new to you or not.. I didn't realize you could click on it! Awsome! Will save time scrolling (and selecting the right page if there is more then one in the topic)! Thank you

I did not know about the orange square. I am not one to push buttons, so glad to know about the square.

I did know this... not at first but I found out a while ago. If your mouse hovers over the orange box for a few seconds it says "view first unread post". That's how I found out.

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this. Now I know how to look for posts that I haven't read. Besides the ones that are black.

ditto that's how I figured it out. Too much time on my hands I guess.
