Having trouble with "You have XXX unread posts" link

I'm having trouble using the 'unread posts' button at the top of the forum screen to view all unread posts.  On other sites, modeled on the same sort of interface, I can just click that link and all my unread posts queue up for easy viewing pleasure...

Is there something I need to do differently?

Thanks!

 :)

You need to set up the forums and sub-forums you'd like to monitor.  Here's your personal link:

For all others, goto your profile and then your Email and Notifications link to customize the places you want to monitor.

SMF forums do this a bit different than VBulletin forums.  There just isn't as many features in SMF.  That's all you get.  Sorry.

Overall, I'm completely pleased with SMF and will not ever change.  :)

I'm not exactly sure what NObama's issue is, but I like it the way it is... Maybe I just never visit boards with VB. I click "xx unread posts" and it shows me the new posts. Then I open new tabs on the ones I want to read and then click "mark all read" and I'm good to go.

As I said perhaps I'm missing something but I like the way this site is!

Lots of people get used to features of VBulletin, but thankfully I think that NOBamas problem is just a setup issue.  It took me a while to get used to SMF after moderating a VB site.  But now that I'm used to it, I like it.  :)

Thanks, TM!

I think I have a handle on what I forgot to do, thanks to your most helpful post!

I love it here.
