Displaying unread messages

How do we just view the unread messages? Every channel seems to show all of the messages, and i don't need to see the ones I have already read.

    I'd also like to suggest to change the "Unread Posts" to "Unread Conversations", as most are probably not interested in how many single posts to multiple conversations are unread in any given Space/Community, but how many new unread  conversations there are. 

    Unread posts are already shown in my notifications when I reply or subscribe to a conversations that I participate in.

    • Agree. If the Conversation is interesting you always could subscribe on it not to miss new posts.

        on a related matter, can anybody tell me:

        How do I get to the first unread post within a thread from my notifications?

        Right now when I click on a notification I'm sent to the last post of that thread, then I have to manually scroll back up, while looking at the posted date of each post, and have to try to remember, which the last post was, that I've already read. Ideally I've responded myself to this thread, and then start from there.

        Quite cumbersome.

    Hi Dean, Did you every get an answer to this elsewhere? The totals at top level Group, don't add up to the totals of the sub groups either.

      Good feedback. We're working on a solution to show the unread messages and fix the threading readability.
  • Hey Dean, you can find "Unanswered" as a filter on your homepage. This shows unanswered across the entire network. We are looking into displaying unread messages filtered by groups.

      Would it also be possible to see unread items per group?

        Upon clicking Home link in the menu, scroll down past various groups and you will see "My Feeds" section and you will find unanswered filter. Make sure you are logged in otherwise you won't see the filters.

  • would love to see that as well as a toggle on each page and with the option to set a personal default for all sites.

    I would also like to see a mode where you only see the first message in each conversation, rather than showing (some) replies of each conversation as well.
