I have a question
I love that I can zoom straight to the unread posts. When I am reading through them and I want to respond to one, as soon as I do that (by pressing on the quotation marks and typing my comment), I wind up having marked all the still unread posts as read.
Is there any way around this other than to wait until I read all the posts and then scroll back to the ones I want to respond to?

Someone may have a better answer, but as a workaround, you could reply in a different tab. On a Mac, command+click. On Safari on an iPhone, hold your finger on the quotation marks and pick Open in Background, etc. Then when you're done, close that tab and you'll be back where you were.Inca wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2019 2:26 pm I love that I can zoom straight to the unread posts.

Thanks, Barbara. So simple but would surely work.BarbaraK wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2019 3:25 pmSomeone may have a better answer, but as a workaround, you could reply in a different tab.

Barbara's solution seems simplest. You may also be able to hit the back button to the page with unread posts still marked, or to the same page, anyway, where you left off when responding.Inca wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2019 4:43 pmThanks, Barbara.

I have a related question, so I'm posting here. Is there any way to "ignore" or "unsubscribe" to a sub-board, so as not to be notified of unread posts? For instance if I wasn't subscribed to MGWCC, I might prefer not to see the Other Metas board group flagged as having new posts when the only new ones are in the MGWCC board. Not a big deal, but this software has so many bells and whistles, I thought I'd ask.

I don't think I have a way to do this, but I think I can remove your access to a forum or a subforum if you are not interested in it and just don't want it to show up at all. If you would like that, just let me know by PM.Hector wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 7:54 pm I have a related question, so I'm posting here.

Edit: I just played around with it, and it turns out that I can't do this after all. Sorry.

You can unsubscribe to an entire forum, and that keeps you from getting notifications of any of its subforums too. Go to that forum page, and then way down at the bottom there's a box to check to "Unsubscribe forum".Hector wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 7:54 pm I have a related question, so I'm posting here.

Using your example, you'd go to the top level MGWCC board
forums/viewforum.php?f=7 On the main page, those forums will still have the red icon indicating that there are unread posts, but you won't get notifications about them.

Thanks, Barbara. You are absolutely correct, but my question was poorly expressed. What I was hoping for was a way to turn off the unread-posts signal for a sub-forum. It's just a slight bother to have to click through only to discover that the unread posts are not in a forum you are interested in.
I haven't "subscribed" for notifications for any forum. Maybe I should do that instead of relying on the unread-posts indicators.

That is how I do it, and it's been working well for me.
