You may be wondering why all your posts are now "Unread".  Read below to find out why: 

We've implemented a new feature here at the Online Kitchen Party.  You can now go to your first unread post!  When you're in any forum here at the discussion boards, you'll see a new icon on each thread (see the circled item in the image below):

This means that you'll be able to click on that icon, and you'll be taken to the post that you last read so that you can read how the conversation went while you were gone!

Now, here's the deal.  With launcing this new feature, all current "posts read" statistics will be reset, that means that it will appear on the boards that all posts are unread. 

What you'll have to do is set each forum so that all posts are listed as "Read" so that from now on, when you get to the boards, you will easily be able to go to the first unread post instead of scrolling through pages in each thread! Basically, the boards have been re-set and you'll have to do a small bit of clean up in order to fully use this function.  But once you've cleaned it up, this function works like a charm!

Here's what you need to do...

Go into each forum (for example: the "House Rules" forum) and scroll down to the bottom of the page. You'll see a "Forum Options" button there. Click on that button.  You'll then see some fields and a "Mark all read" button.  Simply click on that button and the whole forum will be marked as read!

Please do this with every forum. Once it's done, this new feature will be very helpful - it'll save some time and get you straight to where you left off in the conversation!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Cheers,

Helen
