I have a bit of a bugger with my recently added posts showing up in the "New Posts" link. I tend to go through one whole page of "New Posts" at a time, respond to each in a tabbed window and then refresh the main New Posts window until I feel I'm done with the forums. On odd days I'll find myself responding to 4-6 posts at a time all which show back up the next time I hit "New Posts" I know it's a new post I just made it! =) Is there any way to keep these from showing up? Am I the only one this irritates?

Okay, you're obiously an experienced computer user so my suggestion is to do a new posts search, and open as many pages in a new browser. Now you would have about 3-5 browsers open and you can click to open posts in a tab for that page of new posts.

This would prevent the New Posts from refreshing :-)

That's what I currently do, but once I get along a bit I refresh the "New Posts" window to clear all the threads I've read and check for new ones that were posted while I was reading, that's when my other posts show up. Oh well, guess I'll deal with it =>

I guess the reason why it actually bugs me is because when you reply to a post it opens up the thread in the same window showing you what you just posted and the rest of the thread, to me that's viewing the post. When it comes up as a new post after that it upsets my sensibilities =)

I see what you mean now... I unforunately don't see any way around this..

What confuses me is why it occurs in the first place. I mean the posts pops backs up in the window after you click post. Why doesn't this mark it read?
