Unread post 'new posts' feature broken?
every day i log in, the forum shows me sections with new posts (yellow check mark on left). i go into those and there are no new posts - just posts i haven't read yet (because the topics aren't interesting to me). is there a way to differentiate between posts i haven't read and posts that are actually new since the last time i logged in? i consider the 'new posts' flag to be broken in this regard.

Perhaps a small icon next to new posts to "mark as read" or something similar?

I agree it would be nice to not have to look at every post to get rid of the yellow arrow.

As u enter each forum... at the top right is a link to Mark topics read. that should solve your problem... note though I'm not sure, it prolly uses cookies to keep track, can't say for sure.

Also at the botom of the main page is one to mark ALL forums read...
that should get rid off all ur checks, till a new post is made somewhere.
