Viewing Unread Posts and Replies
SMF has several options for users to view unread posts. Unread posts are topics and replies that have not been viewed by the user. The most common way to view unread posts is through the links in the userbox near the top of the forum.
- View unread replies since last visit – Selecting this option displays a list of the topics which have had new posts in them since the user's last visit. The user has the ability to select to try all unread topics which will display any topic with unread posts, regardless of their last visit.
- View unread replies to your posts – Selecting this option displays a list of topics the user has participated in that have unread replies.
Users may also choose to view unread posts outside of the userbox.
- View Unread Posts by board - Selecting this option will display a list of topics with unread posts found inside the selected board.
- Recent posts on the board index - If enabled by the administrator, this will display a list of recent posts on the bottom of the board index. This is displayed by post, not by topic, so hot topics may dominate this section. Selecting the icon to the left of the recent posts will enable each post to be read from another screen.
- View Unread Posts by category - Selecting this option will display a list of unread posts from the boards inside the selected category.
