Notice the little orange box in front of the title to posts? If you click on that box, or on the title of the thread, it will take you to the thread. But clicking on the box instead of the name does more. It takes you to the 'next unread post' in that thread. So if you had looked at the thread before, clicking on the orange box skips over the posts you've already read, and takes you right to where you want to start reading followup posts. KC
