followed the advice that Bullitt replied to, but I only get the posts since I last logged on, which I know how to do when its just a short period of time between log ons, for example hrs or a few days, but maybe I didn;t explain it as well as I should have, is there a way I can look at all the unread posts from months ago w/o going to each topic and clicking on unread posts? When I first logged on yesterday I had 80 pages of unread posts so I could just go through each page and click on the subject I was interested in, but I had to log off, and when I logged back on several hrs later, naturally the unread post since last visit was not 80 pages long, just a few new unread posts, I'd like to get those 80 pages back on one screen and just go through them one page at a time liek before...thanks
