Mods: So...is there any way to permanently mark/identify a thread such that it doesn't pop back up in the 'new posts' auto search? I've found this functionality helpful in other forums.
The way I read TMC is to first catch up on my subscribed threads through the usercp (it would be nice to have a bigger and more obvious button than the wee 'settings' link up there, but that's another topic...). Then I sift through the 'new posts' to see if there's any interesting new threads to which I want to subscribe. If I can get through all the pages of new posts I'll usually mark forums read, but of course if any of the threads i wasn't interested in get more action, they pop back into 'new posts'.
