if you use http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/index.php as your start page, you have a little button in the top right corner, saying 'view unread posts' - this will show all unread posts at once. when you go into a thread, and then press 'back' on your browser, this thread will have disappeared from the list as you have now read it. it's jut s a filter basically.

I find it a bit too complicated for my mind ...
I just scroll down the boards and soon recognise the threads I do and don't want to read ...

Svea - I do that but my read posts stay 'new'    :-\

[Svea]

hmm, then use the 'mark as read' button above the list of 'new' posts? works for me. otherwise, refresh browser window for the 'inbetween' times - mark as read will of course mark them all as read....
(do i make sense)

Baggy --I agee with you.
 About 1 month ago, if you scrolled, down the Unread Posts and selected one to read ,then after reading hit `Back` on IE6, it deleted this Post only ,from Unread List and left the other Unread Posts for your perusal.
I know you can press Mark as Read,but it was better,  as above.I presume somebody, has altered the Software, any ideas on this please ,Webmaster ? ?

I have noticed subtle changes too, but thought they might have been due to my reinstalling windows and perhaps inadvertently altering some settings ...
