Unread seems to mean something other than all unread topics (unread topics I’ve posted in or viewed for more than 4 minutes, or something like that, iirc). What’s the best way to read this forum without missing posts or having to go back and look through past activity to find topics I’ve missed.
DiscoBot mentions the advanced forum tutorial, but finding it seems to be part of the training process. Where does it hide? And what forum software is this? I know it was mentioned before, but I can’t find it.
I selected “read as a mailing list” and that e-mails me every post, unless there are too many posts in a day (I think the limit is currently 200), I won’t miss any.
Try this: Look for a setting that says something to the effect of “track every thread I enter” and then always use the “new” indicator to enter every new thread. That should cause an “unread” notification for every reply to every post you enter.
Click on your name/picture in the upper right, hit the gear, on the preferences
page go to the e-mail (left side), and then towards the bottom there is a
checkbox “Enable mailing list mode”
Email won’t work. My main email accounts date back 20 years and despite regular unsubscribing, cleaning, and using Sneakemail for online registrations (interesting which organizations let your address out…) are deluged.
Guess I’ll keep on scanning the whole forum semi-regularly then. Hard to believe there isn’t an unread option that applies to the whole forum.
