Check unread and sticky aren't out of the way for people who have been on forums elsewhere on Internet.
Okay ... I have been on the forums elsewhere, so do I get to know where the "Check Unread" and "Sticky" are at?
If you mean on BB, "Check unread" is right under "New thread" under the thread list. As "Sticky", it's the thread important to read that are in red at the top of each forum, not knowing the name is not important, what's important is where they are placed.
If the users are thick ...
Ooookay, now we're narrowing it down. I see what you mean by "sticky," no problem there.
As for "Check unread" ... well, it is still a little elusive. I do see this ...
"New thread
Mark all as read
Remove from favorites
Search this Folder (Supporter Feature)"
... so it must be
somewhere in that area. Care to offer another clue?
See why I think the forums might stress a newcomer?
I'll ignore your "thick" insult.
