Quote from: silverton_ford on April 17, 2024, 10:14:34 AMI just use the "Unread Posts" button at the top of the page and go through them one by one, so the "Recent Posts" list on the main page is not a concern to how I use the forum. I find that using the "Unread Posts" button, I am able to keep up with all new posts since I last visited the site. If I don't finish reading them all, I just leave the page open and come back to it later, but I am using my desktop computer....I'm not sure how others use it on tablets or cell phones.This is what I've always done with a lot of forums. After I read "recent Posts", I then click the "mark all posts read". That way my next visit on clicking "recent posts", the posts I've already seen, don't show up, unless they have a new post.
The "Recent Posts" has always been only a small sample of what is recent and not everything recent in a day or two is listed because it cannot fit them all at times. I find all recent posts in the "Unread Posts" button regardless of how long it has been since I last looked at the forum. It could be several days until I get back to the forum, but using the "Unread Posts" button I am able to catch up on everything posted in that time frame since I last visited.
