Thank you for this tip.  I was trying to use, "View New Posts," today, but it isn't quite working out for me in the manner in which I use the forum. 

I open the forum and just keep it open in the background while homeschooling.  I read/post/answer when there is a break or as a child works independently on something next to me.  It has been very helpful to me, because it has given me something productive to do while I'm waiting on child to finish a reading or an assignment.  I have found larger projects hard to work on during homeschooling because I'm not good at starting and stopping.  However, the forum fits in beautifully.

That said, it can take me a long time to write a single post because I can leave and come back to it many times (which has already happened with this particular one), and what I just noticed was that though I might not leave the forum and come back, my "New Posts" has changed.  So for example, when I initially choose "New Posts," there might be 15 there.  I choose one and begin to answer.  An hour later, I get the answer finished, and I return to "New Posts," and now there are only five listed. 

How does the "New Posts" actually work?
