Question about reading new posts
Is there an easy way to find the 'new' posts on a thread? For example I know what threads contain new messages/posts since I was logged on. But is there an easy way to tell what is new/has been added to the thread? Or is it a matter of just scrolling down, remembering what you read from last time, and realizing when you're reading the new posts?

Thanks. Is there a way to know what new posts are contained within that thread? Or it is just a matter of remember the last message I read in the thread prior to the new posts being added?

Also, if you've replied (or subscribed) to the message, then the post reminder in your E-Mail will have a link to take you to the first unread reply (hopefully).

Whenever I make a new post, and then click "New Posts", my post always takes 15-20 minutes (or me logging out) before it actually appears there. I have no idea why, because if log out, it's right there where it should be.
Maddening when trying to keep current with responses to a given thread, but I deal with it.

I'm using Google Chrome and/or FireFox as my browser in case it matters.
Cheers.

Ha! Thanks @surak. Now I feel silly. I was looking all over the place for that logo and it was looking me right between the eyes the whole time. Thank you!
