Bob, Thank you for replying...
After reading your last two posts regarding this, frankly, I'm lost (my bad probably).
So, I'll just state this as I was accustomed to it on other boards and, if it's just not possible here, then no big deal.
You have the number of posts unread (regardless whether they're filtered, blocked, or hidden posters). You start reading from the earliest post (the hidden feature will keep off those unwanted posts, something I don't use, but let's keep it for arguments sake).
If you go away (ISP problems, power outtage, naked woman distracts you on another site...
...whatever), when you come back to the favorites page, you pick up where the number left off.
If there's an issue with zeroing the posts out, you just read the last post on that board (& you don't even have to read it, just click on it, of course).
In my simplistic view (although it has worked on other boards), if I am missing something, let me know. The premium feature you mention about marking the last post read, I have never encountered (as you allude to), and I really don't need it. Several boards do let you keep the number of posts unread until you have read them. That's all I'm referring to.
OK, what is this iHub dolt missing?
(I just had a thought. Is that service I described like a pyramid issue, i.e., when you get enough, or too many, posters, the system collapses onto itself for some reason?)
Best, Fred
