When I look at the list of My Groups in the OrangeBar, it says there is 5 new messages in Backstrap Weaving.

If I click on the red word NEW nothing happens.

 

If I click on title Backstrap Weaving, it takes me to the main header for that group, but not the new messages.

 

It is very difficult to locate those 5 messages.If I go to the Dashboard (orangebar) I can filter forum posts, but it doesn't say what forum the message is in!!

 

Have a good day!

Franco, on the bottom in

Franco, on the bottom in small red print you will (hoping) find comment, new comments. This will bring up your missing posts.

Thank Michael, but can't find

Thank Michael, but can't find the comment/new comment

Clicking My Groups/orangebar then Backstrap Weaving, no red letters or comment word

Clicking Dashboard/orangebar, no red letters or comment word

Clicking Groups&Forums/greybar I get a list of recent activity and Improving Weaving shows a topic marked 7 NEW, If I click on the word 7 new it takes me to the new messages which are marked with a red rectangle and the word new.

But when I find a topic in Backstrap Weaving marked 2 new comments, clicking on the word New takes me to the topic but there is nothing new there.

Clicking Groups&Forums/greybar, page 3 Natual Dye Color group shows 34 new and I clicked straight to the topic to find messages marked new.

This is kind of hit and miss.

Do I have to start at Groups&Forums/greybar then look for new stuff?

That is not friendly. Still haven't found the New Comment link that Michael saw.

Have a good day!

Then, none of your Groups and

Then, none of your Groups and none of the Forums in the list to the right have messages you have not read.  That's my experience.  Please let me know if yours is the same.

Then the problem is one part of the system is telling me there is new messages when there are none.

I just looked at the home page and it says there are 35 new messages in Natural Dye group but I read those over two hours ago. See my message above.

Have a good day!

I am having the same problems

I am having the same problems that Franco and Deb are having. Franco, the "Tree Barks" came up on the homepage because Deb had posted to it, but I have spent over an hour trying to figure out how this works and its frustrating. One problem is that all posts are not in chronological order. So far this page is, but if you look at some other pages like "Tree Barks" you will see that the order of the posts is so mixed up that I have trouble making sense of it!

OH MY GRITS! I'M LEAVING UNTIL THIS IS FIXED!

We are out of chronological order AGAIN and I am not going to participate anymore until it is FIXED-FIXED-FIXED!

I'll be damned if I will go through that frustration again!

Will somebody please email me when they get it fixed?

Have a good day!
