[quote="Cygnus"]OK thanks, then it's a bug. Just making sure I wasn't doing something wrong. Makes it harder to read the forum, but I'll just try to keep track of the red icons.[/quote]

Here's what I do. <br /> <br />When you first come to the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Forums</span> page and scroll down to see that there are new posts with red icons, make a mental note of which ones. Choose one and read all the new posts in that forum (they will be at the top under the stickied ones and, as Mystic mentioned, you can just check the date of the last poster in that thread to see how far down the new posts go). Be sure that each time you finish reading the new posts in a thread you use your browser's <span style="font-weight: bold">Back </span>button to return to the front page of that forum. <br /> <br />When you are done reading the new posts in that forum, use your browser's <span style="font-weight: bold">Back </span>button to return to the Forums page and you will see that the red icons remain. <br /> <br />The only time you get red icons in an individual forum is when that is the <span style="font-style: italic">first </span>page you navigate to within this website. Unfortunately, when you then go to the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Forums</span> page, none of the icons show red. Do it like I described above and you can maintain a list of forums with new posts. <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /> <br /> <br />SirXaris</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="themes/Canonfire/forums/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Mystic-Scholar</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="themes/Canonfire/forums/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2012 7:20 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"><img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <br /> <br />Cygnus, not so! I warned you that would happen! <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_twisted.gif" alt="Evil Grin" border="0" /> <br /> <br />The software has always functioned in that manner. If you wish, when you see the red ball, go to the far right of that line and you will see the name of the latest poster. Click on the "page" emblem and you will go directly to his/her post. <br /> <br />After reading his/her post, click on your "back" arrow and you will return to the forums list and all the red balls will still be there. Painstaking, I know. <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">Warning</span>: If you chose to reply to the posters comment and then "return" to the forums list via the hyperlink (at the top and bottom of the page) all the read balls will have turned blue. <br /> <br />Most of us just view the post date and check out the new post that way. We've been "active" long enough and visit the site often enough that we are aware of what's going on in most, if not all, of the forums. So . . . <br /> <br />Visit more often! <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <br /> <br />Just teasing you!
