How Does Unread Posts Work?

[AdamJ]

Many forum users like to jump straight in to the latest posts/unread topics when arriving at the forum.

To do this, click 'Unread Topics' in the top navigation bar, next to 'Home'.

This will take you to all your unread topics since you were last online. The layout of this differs slightly from what you may be familiar with on the previous forum.

On the far left will be an avatar next to the post title, this will be the post author (who made the thread originally). You will then see a few metrics to the right. On the end of the topic panel there will be a timestamp along with the latest poster. If you click anywhere in the grey area, that will take you to that post.

In addition, if you want to highlight a select few threads from your UNREAD and immediately clear them, you can do so by hovering over the avatar of the post author (far left) and clicking on it. This will select the post, which you can then 'Mark as Read', clearing them from view and leaving you with the posts you want to read.

Equally, if there is an active forum topic you know you're not interested in, you can 'Ignore Topic' so it doesn't show up in your Unread Topic listing in the future.

I don’t see the ignore feature. Can someone please point it out?

[Giles]

Sorry, ignoring you.

[Matt]

Wow. How did I not see that one coming?

@Matt see above, I posted the wrong screenshot as the last point
