Oh, sorry, yes. I would have mentioned it, but I assumed you would have already known that Google Reader was killed off some time ago.
I now use Bazqux reader, which looks just like Google Reader and behaves almost the same too. Only thing is, it cannot use the Google Reader Filter extension. I am wondering whether to rewrite the filter myself, or ask the developer to provide something that does the job.
The filter seems to be in Java script, and I am unfamiliar with writing that, but I could probably figure it out if I decided to give it the necessary time...

It occurs to me if you enter "none" it will be accepted.

I have tested such a choice.
It resulted in registration reject.
Can you declare which browser are you using ?

I am using Firefox. But in any event on those Windows forums the specialized links, such as show unanswered posts, view first unread etc.. do everything with JavaScript search statements from what I can see. If there is no new post since I last viewed the thread there will be no link. I think it stores the post number I last viewed in each subscribed thread to make the View First Unread work. For finding unanswered I suspect it does a query of threads with a post count = 1 etc..

The little bit of dabbling I did with JavaScript I found a bit frustrating. Enough time has passed that I forget the particulars. But I think what bugs me about doing web is that even with scripting languages, not to mention compiled, you can set a variable value and count on it being there whereas the back button seems to undo everything. It just seems like a frustrating medium for programming. I don't like to use anything more complicated than target = _top. :)

Here on SMF software
when you click the "new" icon in topic list -
the display of the updated thread is being positioned
with the first unread post at top of the screen
in the list of sequential posts.
Isn't it on your side ?
