I hate having to read through all old posts

Why can't this forum be set up where you don't have to read through all of the responses again before getting to the latest one? It is somewhat irritating. No, very irritating. my 2¢.
 
Thanks for the little black arrow info..
I will use this often, still learning.

Lawson,

The little blue arrow on the left takes you to the first post in the thread which you have not read.

Hang in there.

You can also chose to have the latest thread come up first instead of running in order. It's difficult for me to follow along, but some like it. On any thread that I am keeping track of, I always click the blue arrow on the left of the thread. Takes you right to the newest responses.
 
hang around guys you bet you have lots to contribute. start practicing "posting pictures" because some of you guys have some really neat projects and finished drivers. i posted "how to" instructions earlier. pm me if you need help as i admit i'm a picture *****!
 
Yeah, Kinda like the first time you buckled into one 'o them newfangled "4-speed"trannies. Takes a little gittin use to...slim

So how do you activate the blue arrow? I click on it and nothing happens.

The arrow on my screen is Black, some must get them in Blue.
Anyway, the arrow is over to the right, next to the numbers.
Left click on this arrow and it brings you to the Last Post.
 
Another easy thing to do to help you pick up where you last left off was is to try to remember the last time you visited the forum, and then scan the thread of the first post that starts after that time. Each reply includes the date and time at which it was posted at the left-hand side of the gray bar that's above each reply.
 
If you were in a conversation on a topic go to search, type in the topic and push go the topic and all related topics pop up, If you have a group of pals talk to them by clicking on their name, you can then send them a message that the rest of us cant see, you can also converse in your group, that way you can limit the amount of clutter you read. Most of the topics went off radar real fast on the old barn, here they can stick around a lot longer, i think there is also a feature in your personal mode were you can access all posts that you are involved in.
