When I open a thread there, I can't see where or how posts are marked as "read". Anyone?

If it is not marked as new, it is read. Same as here.

I and at least one other person also created threads asking for that in the subforum about the move over there. But that forum was only them playing to the galleries. Everything was already decided. Easiest way out, that what I think it's all about.

Maybe archive.org could have been interested too. They were when we thought the site was closing down.

It's a shame. A big shame.

I'm afraid to even read anything or reply on the current DPR forums, because it is marking posts as "read" which have not been exposed at all, because you exposed something past them. That's better than DPR's old forum flat view, which marked the rest of the page as read even if you only exposed the first post, but that is still not as good as DPRevived flat view where posts seem to be marked "read" only if you expose them. These forums can err, but usually in a non-destructive manner, when "the next unread" is sometimes something you've already read, which is superior to never reading a post at all because it was falsely marked "read".

Hi,

Well, it will set you at the first New (Unread) post. Then, just read them all until you get to the end. Next time you show up, it will set you at the first New (Unread).post.

There really is no good way to skip over posts. Just a linear slog thru them all.

That was May and the camera world had by then run the HDR gamut ( pun intended😒 ) and is more or less over it. Yes, it has it's uses, but it's been decided, automatically burning out people's eyeballs isn't one of them.

Gives them more column inches and will start another flame war, so all good for them.
Be interesting to see which side they eventually settle on, no prizes for guessing.

Personally, (as I always expected) I find the place harder and harder to navigate, and the enjoyment factor of a quick check-in has fallen through the floor.

Is the new XenForo DPR acceptable?
