Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Anyone got any other ideas?

I'd say close Outlook (and make sure it's not running in the system tray), then try running the Inbox Repair Tool [link] .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm subscribed to two topics. When I go into controls/my topics it shows my current subscriptions and I can see when I subscribed, how many replies and views there are, and when the last post was. Short of signing up for email notifications, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Der. I see that now. Thanks. So it won't tell me if I have to click or not? Good thing I only care about two topics.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, the colors change when you have new messages. I think there may be a text indication as well.

I'll look out for that. Though I'm really sure there's no text indication, but I might have missed colour.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita,

take a look at this link:

Note the one thread that has a different color? That's the one that only has read messages. The other orange colors, those have unread messages.

Note: please do not make fun of my thread subscriptions

I would not mock someone being as helpful as you are. Okay. I should see that different coloured envelope soon.

Is this explained somewhere? I swear I looked in their FAQ.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have no idea actually. Last time I looked at the FAQ, I think it was 6 years ago or something.
