new comments since my last visit in the new version? These use to be automatically in bold with a time and date stamp.
No longer seeing any of this.

    It should jump you to the last post you read when you open a thread.

    And threads are marked with a new tag on the left.

    If you go up to the view showing your list of forums you can hit the 'cog' item on the right side to get a 'mark read'. This tells the system you have read what you want to read in that subforum so none of that will be considered 'new' any more when you come back for another visit. 

    If you have not opened a thread, and not taken action to mark that area of the forum as 'read'... then as far as the system is concerned, that thread is still 'new' to you, even if you happen to have gone away and come back again.

    Of course it does.
    Sadly the new forum software has no way of knowing what posts you have already read using the old forum software.
    As far as the current software knows, the first time you login you have not read any posts at all, but it will learn.
