is their a way to distinguish which threads we have read and the new ones without memorizeing them?

scroll down to the bottom of the page and there are some symbols which show which are new and which are not aswell I think a blue arrow is shown in the title of unread posts but I'm not too sure of that one.



Now if we had a clock which showed the right time that could be helpfull ;)

The option to set the clock is in your user control panel. Click on "User CP", then on "Edit options" and scroll down. You'll find a thing there to set your time zone.
 
As for the "Mark forum read" thing, it's automatic. Unread forums and messages will have a yellow logo thing while read ones will be blue.

Dang, you beat me while I was double-checking things!  :mad:

Usually unread messages should be an open envelope, and unread forums are a different color "bulletin" on the main screen.

To mark a forum as "read", just above the posting dates is "Forum Tools".
Click that for a drop-down list.

That's one of a few things ezboard did differently...

Left a forum alone until YOU decided to mark it read. Some sites automatically mark them read if you leave and come back at a later time.

Took you back to the topic list after replying to a post, rather than reviewing your post. Keeps you from backspacing and accidentally re-posting it a dozen times.

Took you back to the Main screen after marking a forum read, rather than only showing a list of sub-forums in the current "group".

Just a few things we'll get used to.
