I added the buttons on the right side of the forum to show new, active, unread and mine. my question is how many people use these? Do you use them all or just the Unread button? I am thinking of possibly getting rid of them and adding just an Unread posts button, the new button will not show a number of unread posts like the current one does. It would be just like using the unread button in quick links. Please let me know what you think.
No, no, no! I use all of them all of the time. Except for the "MINE"; I can use the "NEW", "ACTIVE" and "UNREAD" (my personal favorite) to find "MINE".

Please don't drop the "New" and "Mine". I use the new button 6-8 times a day. I also use the mine button often to follow up on my post. Why would you take steps backwards by deleting these buttons. What you need to do is make them known and how to use them, then everyone would be using them.
Every time I come to the Forum I click "NEW" to see if there have been any new post since my last visit. I guess if you visited just once a day the activity buttons wouldn't be as useful. I don't know how you could run a Forum with out a NEW button. The more members the Forum gets the more important the New activity button will become.

Yes, I use it fairly often. When I have responded to a question and some time has passed, I go to MINE to look back at the thread. An example is when Canik was asking about Big Sights and I responded. A couple of weeks later I remember his question and went to MINE to see if he had bought the sights. He had not and there was some more discussion. MINE is a real quick way to find old threads I have responded to.
It is a lot easier to use the Active Links at the upper right corner than it is to use the menu system Quick Links. If you have to take something away, take away the Quick Links at the upper left corner. To open New Post in an active link at the upper right corner it takes one click. To open New Post in the upper left corner Quick links I have to click on the menu and then select New Post and click.
I would suggest if you keep all of the Quick Links on the left hand corner, that you move the New Link to the top of the list. Right now "Your Post" is at the top of the Quick Links. We also have two same things called something different. We have "Your Post" in the Quick Links and "Mine" in the "Activity Buttons". May to better to call them the same thing in both locations.

"UNREAD" is a must save.

The reason I use unread is "mark all read" pops up.

Edit: Now I see the active button of the right...saves me a click and a scroll.
I believe "active" and "unread" would get the most use.

I’ve cleared cookies, come back. Try to remove and it’s replaced with another. To say it’s annoying is an understatement.
Hope it changes otherwise my “forum time” will be limited here. (I do like this forum)
