06GRPLGT Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hopefully this hasn't been discussed already (if it has, I can't find it)...and hopefully this isn't a noobish question. I can't see a difference between read and unread posts. I'm on many other forums, so I know the usual stuff to look for. I'm wondering if I accidentally changed a setting in options. So the question is, how does lgt.com differentiate between read vs unread posts. (I'm on the lgt.com v3.0 skin). Should the post # be bold? Thx in advance!

Tide Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yes, unread posts are bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06GRPLGT Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hmm...here's a screenshot of what I saw when I opened this thread. My post having been read, and yours unread. To me, they look the same. Where ought the difference be? Note: I changed back to the forum default skin too. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x312/kagenmateer/Random/Unread-1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 In the thread title when you click on it via the directories. If there are unread posts in the thread then the title is bold: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/bgreenen/Untitled-2.png See how some are bold and some aren't? The one's that have new posts since my last visit are bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06GRPLGT Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^^^ I've got that going on. But while in the thread, I can't tell where the read individual posts stop, and where the unread posts begin. :/ I tried clicking on the "view first unread" link, but it brings me to the forum home page.

NWSPECB Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 You just have to kind of remember where you left off. At least that's what I do. I don't think there is any sort of marking's on unread posts in the actual threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06GRPLGT Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^^^ Really?! There's gotta be a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 If there is it has never been that big of a deal to me, or others apparently. Tide will let you know if there is but I am not aware of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06GRPLGT Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 If that's the case... Mods- Is it possible to make the "View First Unread" link work? I'm an admin on one forum, so I know such things can be easier said than done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneDoubleN Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Click on the little orange flag next to the post and it will take you to the first unread post in the thread....not while you're in the thread, but looking at the list of threads.

Tide Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Yep, the orange flag. Sorry when you said 'post' I assumed you meant thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
