I am guessing there is no other way to do it, obviously. I used to have a small problem with posting in that section, but now if I don't notice it when I click on it in the unread posts section........I always look at the top of the page as it is loading to see where I am at. Either that, or after I read the post/look at the picture and think about posting myself......I scroll back up to the top to see where I am. LOL
I understand what you were asking Kat, guess that there is not really a good way to "identify" or "mark" it.
