Hi everyone, how's your week going? 
Thanks a lot earlier for providing your thoughts on how you use the forum search page as well as the profile and settings pages as part of the forum platform improvement work we're doing this year. We have made the initial changes to Search page elements, and the settings pages are currently being worked on.
The next areas we would like to improve are:
- The Unread Posts page (you can get there by clicking on the Unread Posts next to the Private Messages icon)
- Private Messages page (click on the envelope icon next to the Unread Posts link)
As before, it would be very useful to hear your thoughts on what you think of these 2 pages and how you use them, both on mobile and desktop.
For example...
- Which tabs on those pages do you use the most?
- Anything in there that you never use and feel should be removed?
- What about the tables for the posts and messages, are there any columns you feel are either unnecessary, or need to be added in?
- Any text on those pages that you feel is not clear?
- Etc...
Thanks a lot in advance for your comments!

You make a good point @Anonymous. It's why I tend to read the new threads instead of unread posts. But that is, of course, my choice and not a suggestion to be fed back.

I agree with you @Anonymous about the set up though it has improved somewhat recently.
I check in several times a day so don't miss any of the posts. I read a thread so I get all the posts rrlated to the thread rather than reading each individual unread post related to that thread. I return to the threads I've read so I don't miss any new posts. Perhaps a convoluted way but it works for me.
Everyone has their own way. It's what works for you that matters.

By the way @Anonymous to avoid missing older threads just click on view all then you can scroll down the threads to read those you may have missed. Again, it works for me and is just a suggestion.

That's exactly how I do it, Though unless I am away for a day or so I rarely need to 'View All' so I just click on Unread posts. The one at the top always takes you to the first unread one in the thread anyway...
Not on mine.. it’s always the latest unread post on a thread.. is there some way to change it?
Oh and @Glory1 .. clicking on view all is great but it does just that and show me all.. not the unread ones.. so it’s not time saving (for me)

The issue of PM's was resolved and improved a couple of years ago. We asked for the information in the PM to be made visible in the emails we were sent. This way we didn't need to log on to the forum unless we wanted to reply to the PM.

I am now of the understanding (thanks to having it repeatedly bashed into my head) that clicking any of the "last unread posts" takes you to the first unread one.
I hope the head bashing didn't hurt @gmarkj. 
(if so, I apologise. as I think I am the one guilty of it)
