First off, I suppose the new forum system is a improvement, but there are somethings that are very vague...

How do I know if there is a new post in a forum?

Look at the orange folder at the left, if it has a piece of paper in it, there's a new post.

How do I skip to the first unread reply in posts?

This is a bit simpler, but it took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on.
First of all, all of the topics that have this icon next to them Posted Image have new unread replies. To view the unread replies to that topic, you just click the topic link, and it will automatically tack on a "#new" to the url, bringing you to the newest unread post.


Actually, that icon means something different...

If there are unread replies in a topic, just click on the topics link. I don't know how to tell if it has new replies or not yet...

To see if a topic has a new unread reply, look at the blue/green/red notebook thing at the left of the topic link. If it has a little pixelated star burst on it, that means there are new replies. It looks like
Posted Image


I don't think there's a way to tell if there's a new reply in a topic 8|

What does Posted Image mean?

It means you replied in that topic.

I wanna more pages in shoutbox HAPL

It seems to me (may not be true) that the little notebook icons next to each topic will have an * asterisk * etched onto it when there are unread posts. Which is great, considering the notebooks are like 10 by 10 pixels and I'm not wearing my reading glasses at the moment. Someone please confirm or deny this.

If you say 'plz' because it is shorter than 'Please' then I'll say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'.

Thats what I thought, but there are really old topics with the asterisk...

Maybe it's because you haven't read them in a while so Zeta thinks you haven't read them at all. Something to do with cookies and stuff. Like the first time you click on a topic, it takes you to the first post because it doesn't know where your first unread post would be.

Bah, that means we would have to do a "mark all messages as read". Fair enough I guess...

I'm actually suprised anyone needs this...
I mean, who's dumb enough to not know how to use a forum?

(And not just zetaboards, from my own person experience, I've noticed that forums are all pretty much the same...)
My casual everyday account...

And on the occasion I'm doing better than normal...

For people like xiphihixr Just look at the topic description. Also I already explained it.
