People,

Is it possible to do this for myself for a Discourse site I do not have admin rights to?

Thanks,  
Phil.

When you visit any topic, on any discourse site, you’ll start at the first unread post (if you are logged in).

Or to find unread topics, there’s `/unread`

Hmm . . on one particular Discourse site, if I click on “Unread” from the hamburger menu, I get: “You have no unread topics.” but if I go to “Latest” and scroll down through all the greyed out (ie “Read” posts) - if scroll down far enough, I do indeed get black posts that have had new replies that I have not read yet . .

Will someone answer after three years, that

- _unread_ shows only topics one is following
- _latest_ shows everything in chronological order
- black topics are passed new ones or topics where is done unfollowing
