I think I saw mention of this in other threads but at the time did not realize what was being talked about.
From what I can see the new software has a major issue, one that makes the site much less enjoyable to use (for me anyway). That is, when I read a thread and then come back, I have no indication where the thread was at when I left it the last time. Each time I click on a thread I start at post number 1.
Used to be that when returning to a thread, I was taken to the first post that was added AFTER I left. That was easy. I could pick up where I left off without thinking or wasting time.
Now I have to start at the top and try to find the first new post that I have not read yet.
Can you imagine if you were reading a novel, and everytime you set the book down, someone closed it? What a distraction that would be, having to read through/scan pages until the point you stopped at is found. Actually I know we have all been there one time or another...
I know from a post Bird made that you can go to quick links and mark all threads read, but I don't want to do that since it takes time to read all thread before clicking on that button, and during that time some posts may be added.
Is there a "mark this thread read" button? Could such a button be added?
Or is there a simple way to accomplish what used to be that I am missing?
Grateful for any insight, as I am finding this current situation makes my visits to TBN less enjoyable...
