As you may know, I'm not exactly "smart". Hence, this question.

[LuckyCharms]

When reading the responses in a long thread, I'm pretty sire there is a way that flags the most recent responses created? Instead of trying to figure out which were the latest responses posted by going through the post numbers?

I can't figure out how to do it.

Can you help me out?

If you can answer this, I'll give you this little rubber round thing that I found in my yard. It looks like a little rubber donut, and it's all cracked and brittle. I have no idea what it is or what piece of equipment it fell off of.

Thank you in advance, which means I'm not going to say thank you again if someone posts the right answer.

1. Isn't it the number of the post?

By the way, that rubber thing is probably a gasket of some sort.

[LuckyCharms]

4. It's too thick for a gasket.

it's a 2 inch round donut shape with a hole in the middle, but it's about 3/4 inch thick.

I'd post a picture of it, but I threw it out yesterday because I was getting sick of looking at it.

In other words, I lied. There is no prize for the right answer.

This thing I'm thinking of...I think it turns the unviewed responses a different color...or something.

6. A bushing, perhaps?

2. If you click on Latest Threads. There is a "Last Replied" tab.

[LuckyCharms]

5. I clicked it, then went to a random thread. Nothing changed. n/t

[MiniMe]

3. This should be 2 and the most recent response, unless somebody responded before me.

7. You need a better prize. No one has given the right answer so far?

[LuckyCharms]

8. Either no one has given the right answer yet...

or I'm too stupid to follow instructions.

[Irish_Dem]

13. If it is any consolation, I can't figure it out either.

[LuckyCharms]

14. See post 12

I think that's what I was looking for...still playing around with it...

[Irish_Dem]

16. I see responses listed in chronological order.

The time is listed next to the response so I can easily tell the first response and the last.

[LuckyCharms]

17. But sometimes, a thread may have a hundred responses and

you see the thread got kicked up to the top, but someone responded in the middle of those hundred responses, so you have to look at the post numbers to figure out which was the latest response.

If someone responds to a RESPONSE that is in the middle of the thread, it takes awhile to find.

[Irish_Dem]

18. I'm too obsessive-compulsive to start reading in the middle of a thread, even if the latest comment.

But I hear you.

Are you trying to go back and see if there have been additional comments since you last looked at the thread?

Or do you always want to only see the latest comments first?

[LuckyCharms]

19. Yes, trying to see any comment that I have not yet viewed.

In other words, trying to see the latest comment, which instead of being the last chronological comment to the OP, and therefore, at the end of the thread, it is instead a response to a response somewhere in the middle of the thread.

[Irish_Dem]

20. I can see which responses I have read, and those which are unread.

They are different colors.

I don't know however which unread responses are the latest.
Just that I have not read them yet. I would have to look at the time stamp.

I know some forums let you just see the latest posts.
But that can be confusing in a thread with many posts.

9. A donut,

that you slip over the shaft of a golf club to give it extra weight when warming up to tee off.

[LuckyCharms]

11. It could actually be that.

There's a golf course right across the street.

[LuckyCharms]

12. FOUND IT

it's the button that says "Mark as read" that's just below the forum name.

Thanks for trying to help out.

[LuckyCharms]

15. Shit...maybe that's not it.

[demmiblue]

21. I have it set so that I can see the ten newest replies.

Always highlight: 10 newest replies

I thought that was the default. Hmm.

[LuckyCharms]

22. Where do I find that statement you've highlighted?

Thanks!

[demmiblue]

23. Right under the original post. It looks like this:

Replies to this discussion thread ......... Always highlight: 10 newest replies | Replies posted after I mark a forum

[LuckyCharms]

24. Gotcha. Thanks a lot. Mine is defaulting to that, but

it's not actually highlighting the 10 newest replies. Maybe an issue specific to my computer? I'm going to see what it does on my mobile.

[demmiblue]

25. Strange.

If all else fails, you can try asking in Community Help or ATA. Good luck!
