This is my idea, Probably be good to post for everyone to have a say, see how many people support my idea.

I was thinking this:

Why not have another field for the Tutorials section that flags what you have read before, maybe another dating the last time you read it, just like newsgroups work.

What do you think :woot:

?

Maybe :trumpet:

Maybe

Maybe

Well I think its

hehe

FWIW I voted it doesn't matter....seems like a pointless thing to me..If you don't know whether or not you've read a tut before you should probably read it again anyway. but perhaps some would benifit from a flag of read and unread

There is already a plethora of Tutorials available and many more to come I'm sure.

If theres a flag for all Tutorials that are read/unread you could sort or view by that exclusively.

I think this will also help Newbies out since it becomes like a bookmark, don't we all like to know
how many pages left to go till we will finish the book? :thumbsup:

tushe is the part of me that I sit on... do you perhaps mean Touché? Unless you're really calling him an ass, in which case I humbly apologize for sticking my nose in... errm... I mean butting... ummm...

Nevermind.

LOL oh my goodness, now there is light. I am now educated. YES Touché is what I meant, no offence to anyone, I simply didn't know how to spell it and when I searched on reference.dictionary.com I found correct spelling .... mmm wrong meaning. :thumbsup:

Sorry, my bad, but I'm glad there is a comical side to this. hehe :flowers:
