Over in the United Devices Ultimate Bulletin Board™ 6.04e, this question was posted. If there is a way, I will pass it on to the guys over there. Thanx.
"Maybe there's no way to do this and one needs to be made by the board design gurus.
But I thought: If anybody knows how to do this, it will be the real *Pro's* who help so much in this °Member-to-Member Support° folder. It seems surely! there's a way to do this. It's likely a situation encountered by many. But I have yet to figure it out. Is it just me?
Issue: How can I keep track of where I am in the reading of a long message thread -- when I leave it and come back later?
This has really been a frustration for me! It is great that when I revisit the message boards after a few hours or a day, the folders with new entries in them -- "new" since I last visited the boards -- show up in yellow and are moved again to the top of the list.
But when I open a folder I follow or I'm interested in -- especially if it has a lot of messages in it -- I never know what individual messages have been posted there since I last visited the boards. I have to go to the bottom of the thread and often read several -- some new and some old -- before I can figure out which are which, pick up the progression of the thread again, and satisfy myself I'm not missing anything.
Short of making myself notes on a piece of paper, how can I know where to go quickly in a thread, to pick up immediately with reading only those posts I have not yet seen?
I'll be quiet now and let the Pro's answer the question. Thanks in advance."
