Display Unread Only Option for Forums

I've seen this on other boards, and would love to see it here. It would make finding those few unread posts so much easier, especially in this section.

Add an option to display only topics where you have not viewed the initial post and/or new comment(s) on it. This should be something that is easy to switch on and off. Perhaps put it in the Board Options dropdown?

Thanks to the magic of Paint, I can even show you what it might look like:

I realize this is something that Lithium would probably have to implement.

So if we post it in this board we get told we should submit the idea, but if we submit it as an idea it gets move to this board? I'm so confused...

Hi somegirl. If the idea relates to the community or the boards, then the forum is the place to post it. If the idea deals with a Verizon product or service that you would like to see, then the Idea Exchange is the place to get more and better exposure. Smiley Happy

Hi somegirl,

I can bring this up to the developer and see if it's possible.  However, it would be up to the Community Admins to approve it to use.

Looks like it's possible (in a way, at least):

Now to see if it's added here...

I will definitely check into that for you. I'll need to research and figure out how they deployed it and where it lives. Thanks for that link.

...any updates on this? Idea Exchange is still a huge pain to dig through without this.

Agreed! Athough if you are not familiar with this way to access the Idea Exchange, it might help a little, this is the only way I ever go there:

Gives you the results with the most recent answered ones first.
