If you visit our forums often, when you select a topic to view, it will usually take you to the first unread post (you'll notice the "#UNREAD" at the end of the URL).

Head to My Stuff | Edit Preferences to review the viewing options available. You may find you're able to adjust these settings for better viewing. I have mine set as:
Default Starting View: "Traditional Forum View"
Default Watched Tab: Watched Forums
Default Watch Sort: Reply Time
Topic Display Mode: Flat Mode
Post Layout: User info on side
Turn off the right column: No
Show preview (tooltip) when hovering over a topic: No

There are quite a few more options within this Preferences page, and I've left them to the default settings.

Note: when we updated our website a few years ago, we adjusted the settings so that the PG Music Logo | Band-in-a-Box Windows | Band-in-a-Box Mac | Other Software | etc... menu along the top of our site would always be available, no matter what page you were on, or if you scrolled down. So, there will be a small "scroll up" required on any forum thread in order to see the very top of the topic, where it has the title, and the Forum menu (Forum List | Latest Topics| etc....)

If anyone else has suggestions on how to improve this forum, don't hesitate to contact us!

Thanks - Callie
