Either because I'm a slow typer or a lot of thought & time went into it. After making a new post I like to check New Posts. See what I missed. But I don't see the response I just posted. Wtf?:frusty:

it registers what you have looked at hence it is not a "new post" (for you)

OK. But I want to see what I missed. This is unusual here. As most of the forums I visit do it differently.

I really dislike it this way. I believe this is the ONLY forum I know of doing it this way.

Actually as far as I know its built into the newer version of VB now. Im guessing there was a reson for that such as most wanted it that way. If not then it was just some programmers thought. As far as I know its not an option where you can choose although I havent really check in the panel yet...
