Old question - new location

[millwab]

A couple days ago I tried posting this in the section I thought it belonged, but no one from the admin side picked up on it. Sooooo, I thought I'd try posting it here to see if I can get an answer . . .
* * * * *
One question about the functionality of the message board. I rely on the "new posts" icon to let me know which threads have changed since the last time I logged on. If I sign-on and go through them all there's no problem. However, if I don't finishing looking at all the new posts before signing off (or if I'm unceremoniously dumped off by an uncooperative dial-up connection), when I log back on all the "new" posts have flipped over to "old" and I've lost the pointers to the threads I haven't yet read. Any solution to this (that I can control)?

And before someone asks, no I can't just go by the time stamps. My understanding is that the times are corrected to my time zone, but I have seen time stamps on posts that are in the future (relative to my current time)!

Please advise.

And add to your comment, the blue bar across the bottom that has
"Contact Us - .... Archive - Top" wouldn't it be nice if the there was also a link to New Posts added? Then I wouldn't have to click on 'Top' and then click on New Posts on the top blue bar.

I've asked for a New Posts link at the bottom of the page several times to no avail. I now hit the HOME key on the keyboard and then click on New Posts.
As for Bruce's problem, I don't seem to have that problem, if I leave posts unread, they still show as new posts when I go back. The one difference is, I never log off. When I leave the message board, I just close the screen, that way when I come back, I don't need to log in and everything is pretty much the way I left it.

Maybe if we all pouted and hold our breaths till we turn blue they could fix it..--Taking deep breath now.

And Bob, what did Rob come up with? I really get lost in here sometimes trying to search for things that I posted to. I know there is an easier way but we all know me and my computer knowledge (or lack thereof). You think this is bad, you should see me with a cell phone in my hand!! I'm a genius at this compared to cell phones!!
