MicrosoftUnread messages are coming in the next few weeks!
Its been 2 weeks, how much longer is it going to take to add this basic functionality?

Hey Dean, I understand your frustration here, but we are working on a lot of improvements across the community as well as a rebrand. Currently, you can see unread messages here: https://network.office.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/Community-My-Dashboard or all up here: https://network.office.com/t5/forums/unreadpostspage/tab/thread. We're using an API call to display these. This isn't an OOTB feature so there is some custom work going into it to meet our community's high expectations. We will continue to deliver on this and the other requests and in the meantime we ask for your patience Dean.
MichaelHolsteI'm still waiting.
My involvement with this community continues to decrease, primarily because it takes too much time to find new content (:.

Hey Dean,
We'll have some solutions out soon to improve this. I entirely agree it's too hard to 'stumble upon' need content. Among others, we're improving the feed, adding filters at the feed, community, and space levels, adding 'show more' to load more conversations, and making clearer pathways to new content. It's currently under development and should be out in one of the next 'sprints'.
Thanks, but I don't seen how to view Unread messages on that page. It shows me Unanswered messages, but i have read several this morning and they still show up on that page.
It is BEYOND FRUSTRATING to continuously see the same conversations and posts over and over and over and over every session.
I fully recognize that there have been many improvements, but much of the functionality that has been improved, should have been in place on the first day. This software from Lithium is very poor in my opinion. I cannot ever imagine recommending it to any of my clients.
Between this lack of functionality and the absolutely atrocios UI, I'm going to have to stop participating in this network for a while. It is just too hard to use when compared to Yammer. It not enjoyable in any way shape or form.
