Ok Im lost trying to figure out when there is a new post. I sometimes log on and see the main icons highlghted so I enter and see a post with a blue envolope but after viewing and moving on I still see that sections main page icon highlighted but enter and see nothing blue to suggest a new post? Maybe Im just use to the forums I use to be on all the time and am missing something?

When you view a topic click on the forum name at the top, that'll make the forum read as well. If you don't click on the forum name and go directly to the homepage the forum will not be read, hence keeping is highlighted.

I also found if you use the back button instead of using the menu to switch between forums, it can make the highlighting go weird...

Thats the way IPB works.
