They aren't. If you go to the main page you can see how they are all seperated.

??? they are not mixed, that is the menu on the front page, just like the old FB, there was a menu and you choose where to go, same here and much much more clear and easier to work with

keep working at it - it takes a little time, but the search and information will work better. I can't wait for the content to get uploaded.

Well, they ARE mixed!

E.g.:

Pick your favorite forum, as mentioned above.

Then click on "New Posts" and you get the posts that have occurred since your last visit. Unfortunately, ALL of the new posts in ALL of the forums.

I want an easy way to see the threads in ONE forum that have new posts since I last visited. Haven't stumbled across that yet.

I tried an advanced search with constraints as describe above (i.e., posts since last visit, Model A forum only), but without specifying a word or words to search for, it wouldn't do the search.

I suspect there is a way: I just haven't found it yet.

Regards,

Bill Lee

All of the newest threads plus all of the threads that have had new postings will be at the top of the listings. So all you need to remember is when you last visited, start at the top and then slowly scroll down to that date and time!! Very simple.........

When you first get to the Model a forum and before you enter a thread, look down on the bottom of the page. There you will find the symbols that appear on the far left explained.

You have posted in this thread
Hot thread with new posts
New posts
No new posts

And others

Also, check the display options down at the bottom of each forum.

When you click search at the very top row underneath the banner, you can go to 'Advanced Search' and you can search in a specific forum.

You can search by time frame or by a user name if you are looking for an older post by someone.

Once ya'll figure out how to drive this thing ya'll are gonna go nuts.
