Can I view the archives? I can only see first 151 messages, then it jumps to #2000?

Oh no! I "Mark as Read" the first 3 pages of Messages #1-151, and now even current messages are

marked as "READ". Yikes, how can I change this? Sorry, I'm new and am just learning ...
Also, how do I use the small boxes next to the Messages? What's the best way to navigate through these messages? TIA!

 
Hi Jules, and welcome!

Unfortunately there is no way you can go back once you click on "Mark Read". The good news is that from now on, all new messages that people post will appear dark red, making it very easy to find them. Once you've read all the posts you care to read, you can click "Mark Read" again and start all over. It's really a great feature.

The archives are unfortunately still broken, although you can search for specific recipes by using the search form, which works fine. The link below gives some information on what's going on with that.

I anticipate a resolution soon!

Actually, there is one thing you can do...

If you just want to read all the old posts and catch up, and don't anticipate posting, you can log out (click the "logout" button on the top right) and then only posts you've actually read will turn khaki and the unread ones will remain dark red. If you want to reply then you'll have to log in again.
