Navigating the board - help

[CountryLoser]

I searched for an FAQ on using the board, and please forgive me if the answer to my question is posted somewhere and I've missed it, but .....

Do you have tips on navigating the message boards?

On the WW board, I would set my preference to show the most current post at the top of the screen, which was simple since the WPA board was one long list.

But, on this site, is there a way to have all the new posts on ALL boards show up on one list, or do you have to enter each board and search?

Also, is there a way to tell from the index if I've posted on a particular thread (I know I can go to my profile and see them all listed), but is there an identifyable icon next to the thread topic on each board?

I just didn't want to miss a feature, if it existed. Thanks for your help and thanks for such a wonderful site!!!

At the bottom of the page with all the boards, there's a link to the ten most recent posts; that page is wwkippy.proboards40.com/index.cgi?action=recent. I use that as my "Kippy home page" -- I leave it up and hit "refresh" from time to time!

Unfortunately, there's not a way to show which threads you've personally contributed to besides the profile. However, when you respond to a thread you can have it email you when someone posts after you. That way, if there's a conversation you really want to track, you know that someone else responded. It's one of the checkboxes when you reply to a post ("Check this if you wish to be notified of replies to this topic.").

As for new posts, next to the name of the topic (like Dinners and Entrees), there's a black or blue little dot. If the dot is blue, then there's a new post in it. That's the only other way besides the 10 newest posts link to tell if there's something new in a section.
