Is it possible to just view all threads that appear AFTER my post in a Topic...without having to view them all until I find mine.This ability would save me a lot of time, and make the forums more user friendly.

At the top of the page is "View New Posts". This will bring you to a list of topics that are new since you last visited. Click on the little square just to the left of the topic title, and it will bring you to the first unread post in that thread.

Everyone has different methods for reading FPN. This is mine: Click "View New Posts". Go to the last page and scan/read the topics from bottom to top (I'm a bit neurotic and I want to read in ascending order of oldest to newest). When I finish this I click "View New Posts" again because by the time I get from page 10 to page 1, there are a whole bunch of new posts! I repeat the "New Posts" until there are no new posts and then I hit "Mark all forums as read and return to index" which is in the blue bar at the top of the topics. Then I quickly close FPN before new posts show up!

Thanks Elaine for your reply it was useful, but I what I'm interested in most is reading replies to a topic that appear after mine. What you describe got me a list of new topics, ones I had not posted in as yet....so naturally....no little blue square is seen.
