    When you click on your list of subscribed threads, there's a little triangle that's supposed to take you to the first post you haven't read in a thread. Problem is, if you don't check the message board within a few hours this message board ignores the post you last read and moves it up. IMO this is the #1 bug on this message board and makes it hard to follow threads.

    Case in point, open up a list of threads you haven't read before and click on the triangle. Logically, if you've never read the thread you should be taken to post #1. But as you can see, you'll be taken to a post from the past few hours. Makes no sense.

    IMO this leads to a lot of the skitzo behavior on here where everyone has the attention span of a hamster by not following threads and always having to start new threads for every little thing. There's only a handful of threads on the whole site that people keep reading & posting to without jumping to somewhere else

    This does seem like a bug. I'll see what I can do.

    Chatroom for Game Threads!!!

    A bunch of us started a chatroom and we all like it so much better. You dont have to constantly refresh your browser and try to catch up with every convo. So you should really look into making a couple chatrooms for us all to use for the games.

    Thank you but the chat question has been brought up numerous times over the years. It's not gonna happen.
