Forum tips

[Fred]

Oops, I did not use that when making the new [Group Specific] thread, hope it is in the right place.

It works on all boards, but you don't have to use it.

Oh yes it's in the right place.

[Fred]

Here's a new tip for you.

When you log-in you will see "View Unread Posts" in the green menu with a number in brackets like the image below.



Click it and you will see a list of threads that have new posts since your last visit, choose which threads you want to read and click where it says "Last Post"



Once you have read the ones you are interested in you can remove all other notifications by going to the front page and click at the bottom where it says "Mark All Forums Read"



Your counter will now show zero till new posts are made.

Oh no….

I fear that that is broken at my side.

I see no counter, while still have posts to read.
And there are a lot of read posts, that still show up in the unread posts…

It’s always me where things go wrong…

That's odd are you looking for the numbers on that shot ? they only show on the front page.

Okay… I checked the frontpage.
226 unread posts….. that is impossible.



Impossible as there are only two pages and max 10 of them are unread.
See…
It’s always me where things go wrong…

Ok can you try reading those that you are interested in then click "Mark All forums Read" from the front page. *It should clear the numbers and that is why I suggested read the ones you are interested in.

*Also try clearing your cache (I don't know how to do that on your device) it works for me and a test account so unless another member has input I don't know, but would like to know the answer.

Well the thing is… there are no 226 unread posts… there are only 7 or 8.

I also do not know how to clear the cache on my device.

But it overall is no problem at all so lets leave it to the mysteries of the board.

[Fred]

I would still like to try and sort it out, did you click "Mark All Forums Read" ?

Also this image is showing threads from 2021 that's confused me even more.

[Caroline]

Done the mark all forums read.
And now it is clean.

So all sorted ?
