Okay. You said:
Well it doesn't quite work like that, Show unread posts since last visit only shows the last new post in a thread, there could be twenty new posts in a thread but in the 'new post' list only the last one will show up.
but that was in response to my pointing out that
" if you want to keep in touch with everything on the forum, always use Show unread posts since last visit
"
It seemed to me that the clear inference of your posting was either that the information I gave was erroneous - otherwise why would you have bothered posting, or you were being pedantic about the phrase itself. Now, if it was to expand upon the phrase,
Show unread posts since last visit, then you should have referred directly to the quote and not simply written "Well it doesn't quite work like that,", because that implied that you disagreed fundamentally with what I was posting and were not merely being pedantic, which is what you now seem to be suggesting.
If you were simply being pedantic, and wanted to show that the phrase was in error, then I refer you back to where I stated
"I had thought folk would have realised that to do as you suggest would lead to the index being inundated with posts and therefore unreadable, which is why I didn't point that out. "
In other words, I assumed that most folk understood already that "Show unread posts since last visit" would simply show the last post in any topic which had new postings in, which, of course, tacitly links to all unread posts thus, in effect, proving that what it says is correct, because it does show all unread posts, and makes the process navigable by only showing the last in any topic.
