    You know, the headings used to turn green and that. With my memory I'll be re-reading everyone's posts dozens of times like some mundane groundhog day.

    It unbolds itself, doesn't it?

    icons at the side of the thread will change, you should be taken to last post/page you read when you click on it

    Yes, if you haven't read a thread, or it's New then it lists as Bold, One you've read, then the thread title turns Plain.

    Also if you've posted in a thread you get a little Green blob next to it.

    Looks like that doesn't apply to the individual replies in a thread though (threaded view). Just the main post to start the thread then? The only bold post is the one I'm currently looking at.

    Hi andy,

    I'm on the threaded view. When i view the board all the post icons are orange. Only when I view an expanded post do these turn grey when read. When I view the board again they are orange. Is there anything I can do to be able to tell which posts I have read when reading the board.

    Thanks,

    Dave
