There's a post on the sub-forum about changing your log in (on page 2 now). It tells me there are 2 answers but I can only see one as the second was deleted before I had chance to see it. There-fore it stubbenly refuses to accept that I've 'read' it and the little wheel thing stays red, as does the little wheel for the whole of this sub-section...

Please help a sad old lady let loose with technology she bearly understands!

I don't know what all the different symbols mean.

Some are the same colours, some are different, some move and some don't.

Have I missed a section on where it explains them all?

I don't understand the little symbols at all - I didn't know that was what they were for. So I'm no help, but you do know more than me! ;-).

MW I've got the same problem, no matter how many times I click on that post it still refuses to change. I've resorted to steadily ignoring it and hoping it will go away automatically after a set amount of time has passed.

I don't have a clue about it all, I can't find a bit that explains the system, probally because I don't know the system :iconbiggrin:

Try finding the Page with the sub section and then click "Mark forums read" at the top right hand corner of the category boxes. That should sort you out. :iconbiggrin:

Aha! It worked! I managed to remove the unread post, but had to read all the other unread posts on the forum first as I didn't seem to have the option of just marking a single sub-forum as read, I only had that option for the whole forum. But still, the post is gone and I am happy.

It's not a box MW, It's a Bold clicky
