...so that next time I visit, just the new ones pop up...

I find this happens every time I visit and click on 'show new posts since last visit' even if I didn't look at any of the previous posts offered.
If there are, say, five posts in display, and I leave the site, if no one has posted since my departure I will get a blank space.

Dave,

The solution to that is to click the "All unread topics" button, which appears at the bottom of the list (or empty list). The reason it happens is it's basically showing you new posts that you haven't been made aware of, rather than new posts you haven't read... a subtle difference for sure.

Will_D:
Great responses. Looks like we will get one !!

Regards reading new posts:

Yes I read all unread posts every time I log in. However the problem is the day after when I want to revist a particular post!

The search engine on Simple MAchines is not the best! and as for finding something after a few weeks then ....

keeping structure to our "directory structure" is the way to go!

The CNC virus is spreading - I have just been researchng stepper motors!

I am trying not to create to many forums, take a look at cnczone to see what I mean. While there is a lot of great info there, at times it can be hard to navigate.

We've done a few 'automated fixtures' which are basically simple cnc machines that do one thing. So I agree with the above...

I see your point Eric. Must have been the amount of jungle juice that made me put that in. :Doh:

Yup, I too click on, "Show unread posts since last visit". Read those of interest then use, "Mark all messages as read" before leaving. Works for me.   :nrocks: :mmr:
