	Since the changes recently I have noticed that the icon to say whether I have read a thread or not, or new posts added doesn't alter.......they all show as though I have never read them..... A small glitch but annoying, I find myself reading posts again unless I remember to make a note of the time I logged off Patricia

	Phil this has been mentioned before, and it is very annoying! There is at least one thread on this board on the topic, plus on at least one other board, as well as mentioned on the GR wall on FB One has to remember which thread one has read ....................... OK if your name is shown as the last poster, but not so easy if you had read but not posted! Those folder icons have not shown new or read since the changes. For a time about 2 weeks ago, all folders were automatically changed to read as of a certain time in the UK early morning ....... regardless of whether I had read that thread! sylvia

	To be perfectly honest it is more than a little annoying. When helping on a particular thread it was so much easier when the icon was working because then you could instantly see whether new information was available were as now noting down last person and time thread read. If it is a case of having the icon working and losing another feature then ask members what they would prefer. However, if on other sites, especially if they are free, everything is available then I would expect that to be achieved on here.

	I started a thread on this a while ago and whole heartedly agree. When this facility started I was so pleased and would do without many other features if this returned. Kay

	Hi All, No it's not forgotten. I have mentioned in a few posts that the all factors of the boards are being reviewed based on feedback since they were overhauled. And I hope to act on some of these for the next release. Thanks for your patience. Phil
