Read Posts and threads....

[goofynina]

 Hey Mr. Epoman... i have a question , i was wondering if, you know how when there is a new post the kidney is outlined in red,  well, when i read the new post, does it stay outlined in red or does it turn all red, even though other people havent read it?   I was looking through some of the threads earlier and there were some posts that i never read before,  dont know how they got passed me, lol,   Can you please explain how that works....  thanks

Toss up? of THREE?  what other sections are called "Site Requests, Comments, Technical Help?" THANK GOD you got it right Nina you would have worried me. I would have had to make a NEW section called "Dialysis: Goofynina Post Here" 

But anyway glad you asked. When you log in, the white/red kidneys will be unique for each member. They only change for YOU, regardless if someone else has read them. A white kidney means you have "UNREAD" or "NEW" messages in that particular section. If a section has a red kidney it means there are no NEW messages for you to read. HOWEVER if you have a WHITE kidney and you go to that section and you have several new posts you have not read, if you leave with out reading them all you will reset the kidney to RED. That is why you need to look out for the "NEW" tag at the end of thread titles. Watching out for the "New" tag will ensure you have read all of the threads.

Confused? or do you got it?

Don't mean to butt in, but if you go to profile once you are signed in and then click on "look and layout settings" on the left hand side you can set it to your own timezone! Cool eh!

OMG,  YOUR KIDDING,  all this time and it's as easy as that *thonks head*  Thank you Hephs-little-Lady,  your a gem.

OK, i just came from there and i cant find it UGH "stomps foot"  i hate being so computer illiterate

[Hephs-little-lady]

There is a "time offset" box. Where you have to add on or take away your extra or unwanted hours.

OH, and one more thing i was wondering,  why does the time display always read 3 hours ahead, why is that?

Just take the offset box to -3 and it should be right. 

[goofynina]

OK,  if you say so,  i can do this right?  I think i can, i think i can, i think i can,,,,,  wish me luck,  i shall be back and let you know how i did,  thanks for you help Hephs-little-lady

[goofynina]

OK, so i went there right? and i put -3 right?  i looked at my clock right?  and it said -3,,, lol,  ok, so i couldnt do it,  eh forget it,  i guess i am happy with my little clock on my screen, but thank you anyways...

[Hephs-little-lady]

The offset box will say -3 but the time in the user info box at the top left corner of every page and on the posts should have changed to your time! Mine works, it says +5 in the box but reads my local time everywhere else!

You're not butting in at all, thank you for helping a fellow member.
