I know how to do it, but if there are a lot to read, and I don't get them all read, is there a way to 'save' them somehow and read when I come back? Sometimes there are 20+ new posts and I don't get through them all in one sitting - but when I come back, there may only be 4 or 5 new ones.
Understand what I'm saying?? :)

That's something I've had problems with in the past too and have wished I could have "Saved" them... but like you I've ended up loosing all of them. :bigcry: I'm not too sure if there is a way to save them but I'm hoping that if there is someone will share it with us, cause I'd like to know too. :)

Diane... :wave:

I understand completely Jennifer. When I came back from Florida there were a ton of new posts. I viewed a couple, posted a quick hello, and the next time I logged on, it wouldn't show me the new posts that I had missed :( .

I just went through them forum by forum :\ which takes a lot longer.

It would be great if we could save them ?(

There isn't a way that I know of either. The only suggestion I can make is to just minimize the window and not log out.

If you disable cookies then it will not reset. Its a pain though because you have to login each time you post a message and there is a glitch and it doesn't always work properly so you may go to post and it asks you to login then when you do and then are finished typing your response and post it doesn't do it because the system "forgets" where you are. (how was that for a hhuge run on sentence)


You might try turning off the browsing with cookies, but leaving the auto login on and that may not give you the probs that I was having. I may try it later and see what happens.

testing testing

I haven't tested this over a period of over five minutes so I could be wrong but....

ok you can leave the auto login on and turn off the browse board with cookies. That seems to get you almost where you want to be. Two caveats 1) you will have to manually click on mark all forums (or whatever its called) read AND 2) if you read all of them but a few they are all still going to show up the next time even if noone has posted new replies to the particular threads you've already read until you hit the "mark all forums read".

I just waited 10 minutes and it seems to be working like I am describing. Oh man, I like this, think I am going to do it this way. Thanks for asking the question.

I tried this once and can't remember how well it worked....
I copied and pasted the page with my search results to an email and emailed it to my self. Then when I opened the email the links were still there. I can't remember if the links worked right but at least I had a list of the topics that had new messages and I could search the forums to read them.

Maybe that's too much work though.
