When you have selected 'Unread Posts'  which shows at the top left hand corner of this page the page that comes up has a small box to the far right side against every post.  This is where I select the posts I don't want to read - 'Ignore topic'  shows above this column of boxes and below it (to the left of 'all unread topics' )

I only seem to get a tiny box on the rhs of each topic which takes me to the latest post  ???

Or if people actually put what the query was about in the heading  8)

Couldn't agree more!

"Looking for a birth" tells us zilch.

"Looking for a birth for Joe Bloggs, Newcastle, England, c1830" would be a great help.
