Following references on the forum
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2003 9:06 am
When I click on a link that is referenced in one of the posts, even if that link is to another post in this same forum, when I return all of the "unread post" symbols in all forums of the board are gone. That is, it is showing that I've read all posts.
Once in a while that does not happen, but usually it does.
The flagging of unread posts is useful enough that I do not want to lose it, so that means that I cannot follow the references that people provide.
What I try to do is mentally mark that post and come back to it after I've finished reading all the unread posts that caught my interest. But since I ahve to go through all the forums, I usually forget which post I wanted to come back to.
This tends to significantly degrade the usefulness of the board. I've posted this question before, actually a couple times, but never got any response. Am I the only one seeing this? Or am I the only one that cares?
I'll continue to enjoy this fine board and all the nice people on it regardless, but...
