Moderators note by James (James_H) : Merged a number of threads discussing this problem. Apologies for the confusing order of posts.
No unread posts and no unread topics

Also clicking on show all unread posts just brings up "no messages"
EDIT - seems to be working OK now

I think this is essential as it is very difficult to view all new posts without this facility.

Are you saying you don't have a "Show unread posts since last visit" link in the top left? It's just below "Community" on my browser.

It may be a question of semantics. In the old forum we had "View posts since last visit", "View your posts" and "View unanswered posts"
Here we have "Show unread posts since last visit" and "Show new replies to your posts".
Not sure what these descriptions mean. Does "unread" mean you have you have not opened up the post or does it mean a new posting since last visit?
Does "Show new replies to your posts" mean the same as "View posts since last visit" in the old forum or will this only show your post's replies?
Edit: By the way "Show new replies to your posts" does not seem to work...it shows up as none after I posted this reply.

Quote from: James I believe show new replies to your posts will show you any replies to a thread where you have posted.
That's what they appear to do for me anyway Useful when trying to keep track of specific threads.

First I closed the browser and opened it again with the forum on which got rid of most of the new posts since your last visit - I then read the post which meant there were no unread posts since my last visit - see top view in picture
I clicked on "click here to try all unread topics" which produced the second view
The third view is going back to the main screen where there are clearly new posts pre-dating when I started the exercise and just to make the point I have never looked at Home Phone Help

"Show unread posts since last visit" (top of forum)
and "All unread posts" (at bottom right of forum. Why here and not at top with other 2?)
If I stay logged in, does "Show unread posts since last visit" just get longer and longer?
Also how can I see all my own posts?
The old forum had these simple options at the top -
View posts since last visit
View your posts
View unanswered posts
These descriptions seem very self-explanatory to me unlike the new ones.

Quote from: Nick Maybe I'm being a bit thick but I don't understand the difference between -

A tremendous advantage of these forums over the old forums is that they permanently remember the posts you have read. All unread posts should show you unread posts from previous days.
