Currently, the New Topics button is not working correctly.
The search criteria is not restrictive enough, but I may have a temporary solution.
This should return a list of threads with the latest unread posts, just like the previous version of the Forum.
*** Open the Forum in a second window or tab, so you can bounce back and forth to follow the directions. ***
First, click on the New Topics button:
When you get to the next screen, click the Advanced Search button:
On the next screen, check the box that says Last Visit , and click Search Now:
You should now see the Search page showing a list of all of the Topics that have been updated since your last visit, just like the old days:
You can now save this page as a new link in your favorites, or you can do like I did and modify your existing link.
Here's how to modify your existing link:
Highlight and Copy the address in the browsers address bar:
In your favorites bar or menu, right-click on the link to the Forum, click Properties, and paste the URL you copied into the location field:
Now, when you open the Forum, all you have to do is click the little blue icon next to the topic you wish to read and it will take you to the latest unread post in that topic.
I hope this helps.
