Newbie - some advice please
Finally got round to installing TB 1.5.0.4. Lots of things I like about
it, have set it up to use different quote level colours and that's made a big difference in long threads. One thing I can't work out.... I subscribe to a number of NG's and some are similar (i.e. games). After reading one group I'll go to another and find I have to read a lot of the same threads/posts all over again. This is really annoying. OE recognises these duplicate posts and automagically marks such crossposts as read. I can't believe OE does something better than TB so how do I get TB to do something similar? Many thanks for any help and advice. Shawk Shawk |

I think there was talk that maybe in TB 2.x it will do this, but not right now. -- You Know You're Getting Even Older When . . . You and your teeth don't sleep together. |
