"New posts" age to "No new posts" while online
While I peruse the messages I've notice after a while updated threads I haven't read yet, since my last visit, have changed their status from to . Makes it tough to spot the new stuff!
Aside from learning to read faster is there a way I can change whatever determines this behavior? |

I'm not sure about the timing, but if when reading a particular thread takes too long, and you refresh your browser, this is the result you will get.
What I do is to open all the forums in tabs. When reading any particular thread, that is also opened in a new tab. Close the tab after reading and select the next interesting thread to read. That way, I don't have to hit my "back" button, refreshing the forum index. So... Are you using a browser that's capable of opening the various fora indexes in tabs? |

I just open new posts and review all headers and read the ones that interest me. Is this the most efficient way?

kkb, while I'm no expert on this, I believe that the board auto-logs you out, if it sees no activity after 30 minutes. So reading a long thread and/or taking a long time to reply, means that when you hit the "back" button/key, you are auto-logged back in and your cookies are refreshed.
Until Firefox 1.0 came out, I always used to "lose" my unread threads. |
