O2 Community - Default to Discussions view on "Unread Posts" click?

[pgn]

When I log onto the O2 Community board, I usually head for the "Unread Posts" link at top right. 

Is there a way I can get this to land me on the Discussions tab rather than the Posts tab? 

Not immediately obvious in the many options in "My Settings" or "Preferences"...

Nope, it always defaults to posts.

I'm guessing it's part of the lithium software

I might be wrong but the software is doing exactly what you've requested by clicking on "Unread Posts"......that's where it takes you.

All that needs to be done is for Lithium to code a clickable "Unread Discussions" alongside or below the clickable "Unread Posts".

Should be a simple correction but will probably take Lithium the rest of this decade to implement.

Thanks, yes, the clue is in the prompt "Unread Posts" D'oh!

So this Lithium crowd can be recalcitrant too, eh? 

Thanks @Beenherebefore.

Yes they certainly can... whatever that means 😂

Technically, both posts and discussions are the same thing, ie the same threads, it's just that discussions opens the thread in that view to save you time deciding if you want to read the whole thread or not.

@pgn

You can also go to the options box (left hand side of your picture ) and from the drop down menu 'Mark all posts in the Community as read'....

The problem with that is, you cant select those you have no interest in....It clears them all....

Uncooperative, basically, @jonsie
