As I understand it, this is not as new fangled a forum as some others, and I hear its short on disk space... In the main listing, the first (top) threads are the most recent -- including those without a response, if any. Threads here are sorted by recency, except that unanswered (single-post) threads remains higher in the main list than those with one or more responses, and threads with a single response (e.g., spam) drop more quickly than threads containing multiple comments. Within a thread, newer posts are added at the end (bottom), but the thread itself will move up in the main listing as new responses are added. Blue threads are either new, or older stuff you haven't read (respectively, higher or lower in the main list). When you read (really, open) a thread, its color changes from blue to purple. If, when you return, the color of a thread you're following has changed back from purple to blue, then one or more new responses have been posted that you haven't seen. [I suppose this assumes a cookie knows you were here before.] In time, old threads drop off the first page to subsequent pages. You can go directly to these subsequent pages by clicking on 2 or 24 or whatever, or search all posts here using the search form at the bottom of your screen. HTH...

ravencajun: I couldn't find my way thru winmail-general tab-play sound, but I also didn't try very hard because I prefer not to have the sound. So I took a look at adding a tray icon and wow, those directions look like more than I want to tackle! I think all this is trying to tell me that I am trying to be overly lazy, so maybe I'll just do those extra couple of clicks to see if there's any new mail. It's not like I'm walking out to our real mailbox several times a day to see if the postman came! Thanks much!

Just goes to show that the bigger the organization is the worse the customer care. I am very angry that the real problem was not addressed when I was talking with AT&T. I tried to find an email address to voice my opinion and there isn't one to be found at AT&T's website and the maze you have to go through on the phone is ridiculous. If I hadn't thought of Googling the problem by including the search term "Yahoo" I would still be in the dark about it. And not a word has been issued on the news about the problem and there had to be millions affected by it.

Surely I'm not the only one????? That feels a bit like persecution, lol. It happened AGAIN today. I had an alert for two new messages. I went through both the old and new inboxes, and the TWO OLDEST messages were showing as new. These weren't even messages I had received, but two that I had SENT...in 2016! This seems to be a glitch in the new mailbox, since it's there they keep reappearing as new. I'm not even going to bother with reporting the issue at this point, as it's basically an exercise in futility. Sooooooooo...if anyone sends me a message and you don't get an answer right away, it's because I'm ignoring the alerts! Apologies in advance. John
