There's no need to scroll through the threads to find new posts, just click on the 'New Posts' button. Voila, a list of newest to oldest unread posts appears. Brilliant.
Who's Posted in a Thread and View only Their Posts
This is one of my favourites, hiding in plain sight you can view all of any users posts on any thread in a list without anyone else's posts. This is great if you follow a certain poster and are interested only in what they are saying without the noise of other replies.
1.Go to a thread and hover your mouse over the number under 'replies' - you'll see how many replies you've made to that thread. Screenshot 2022-07-19 155411.jpg
2. Then, click on that number of replies, it brings up a list of all posters on the thread with the highest number of posts at the top. (see whose got the most to say, lol). Screenshot 2022-07-19 155456.jpg
3. Then for the posters you're interested in, go the right and click on the 'number' of their posts. Voila, a list of everything they've posted on the thread, and no one else. Screenshot 2022-07-19 155629.jpg

There have been one or two tweaks to the forum management software since this thread emerged. What BaaBaa says above still works but there is now another way to do the same thing.
1/ Go to the thread you are interested in and open it.
2/ Hover over the 'Search Thread' option in the grey rectangular box, immediately below the thread header.
3/ Click 'Advanced Search'. A different page will come up with all sorts of search options. Ignore them all except for the box that says 'User Name'.
4/ Put the name of the poster from who you want to to list all of their posts on their thread in the 'User name' box.
5/ Hit the 'Search Now' button in the bottom right hand corner of the 'Search for Posts' box.
This will bring up a list of all posts on that thread, in chronological order, of the author you have selected. The box says it is finding the 'latest posts by user', but my experience is that it now finds all of them. Before the search was restricted to a maximum report size IIRC of six pages of posts. But now it seems that limit has been removed.

Go to the Last post, or go to the First Unread post, on a thread
There's no need to just click on a thread, when you can go to the Last post on the thread, or even better still go to the First Unread (new) post on the thread. I use the first unread every time I visit a thread, it's like picking up from where you left off last time.
There's a heap of useful stuff in your Settings, everything from auto-subscribe to a thread, email notifications, hide while online, show or not your reputation, and many others.
It's simple, just click on 'Settings' at the top of the page, then 'General Settings' and run through them making your preferred selections. Screen Shot 2022-07-19 at 6.46.06 PM.jpg
This is a good one if you've read everything you want to but there's a heap of posts you haven't read which will keep coming up in your list of 'Unread posts' (see previous view unread posts).
Simple, it's right there on the menu bar, when you've read everything you want to, click 'Forum Actions' and select 'Mark Forums Read'. Bingo, all unread posts are marked as read and won't show up in your unread posts list next time.
Have you ever bothered to read the Terms and Conditions of posting on Sharetrader? Sometimes things get ugly around here, people say things they might not have if they knew what's permitted or not and what legal protections the publisher has to protect members and themselves.
