How do you navigate this board?

Hi, I'm fairly new here and I'm having trouble getting the hang of this board. I'm finding it very difficult to follow any conversations here. Is there a way to "mark forum read" or something so that I can tell which posts I've already viewed without opening them? They say "3 new" "5 new", etc, including the posts I've already seen.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Once you have logged in, out to the right of the post info it has dots for ones that are unread, it will also say 1 new of 5 or something meaning that you read 4 of those and there is one new one. Unfortunatly, this is a busy board and the threads move very fast here... But it gets easier to follow I promise.

GL and Welcome!!!!

Welcome to the board supermom! I love your user name!LOL! Lets see if I can help a bit. When you look at the board, the messages will say 3new- those are unread by you. If it says 3new of 5, that means that you read 2 of the 5 messages, but there are 3 others that you haven't read. I find the easiest way to quickly read through the folders is by clicking the "outline" tab- this will bring up the first few words of each post in a new window.

You can also choose "all unread" at the "show me" pull down on the top right. That will delete all the messages that you have already read.


Does this help? Feel free to keep asking or come into the chat room http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ppttcchat/chat

and I will stick around there in case you still need a hand.

GL!
