i am fairly new yo forums, and am overwhelmed with all the posts. and it seems each time i go to a thread, i have to go through posts i have already read. is there a setting that will show me new/unread posts only? i have looked through "forum help", but again was overwhelmed, and my search on "unread posts" didnt seem to come up with anything related to unread posts. OR.... is there somewhere else i can look to see JUST instructions on how to use forums?? thanks

Also, if you're in a forum, this will show you that you've read some of the posts, other ones still are unread (thread title in bold print, number of posts coloured):

Also in the app:
If you tap More (1), then Settings (2),
then go to Forum Reading Options - When Opening a Thread, Always
Tap it, you have three options:
