The Easy Way to read the Comedy Forum.
I just thought I'd clarify the easiest way to read the boards.
When you sign on, you'll automatically go to the main board where you'll find two little Icons on the left hand side beside each Thread.
The moon Icon means there have been no posts in that Thread since your last visit.

Whereas the sun Icon means that someone has made a new thread or post to a board.
When you move into the Category, Threads with 'NEW' at the side contain posts you have'nt viewed.
When you have read all the posts that you want within that board, hit the 'Mark as Read' button at the top of the page and that will set all the indicators back to zero. This means the next time you visit that category...only the new posts will show up as 'New'.
Going back to 'Home' will always reset the indicators on the main board.
If you follow these simple steps... you'll find the board quick and easy to read and you won't miss anything.
Just one more thing... posts that have been ignored for sometime... about 4 weeks, will show as 'New' again. Reset that board by hitting the 'Mark as Read' button.
The above instructions only work for 'Members', Guests will have to do it the hardway I'm afraid.
