Community ManagerHi,
When you say find unread posts, do you mean when you look at the category view and you can see all the discussions you would like to know which ones you have read vs not read?
If so we pushed something that did this last night, if you look to the left of the category view you will see a grey bar next to unread posts, see below
.
In this screenshot the top post is read and the one below it is unread, we were discussion the colour of the bar, we originally planned it to be blue - like an unread message in outlook - but decided there is to much blue on the screen. Open to suggestions if the grey is to subtle
That will be helpful, but it is not really what I am looking for. When I'm in yammer, it shows me the new posts that I have not read, I can easily read them and then the next time I'm in that group, the previously read items are hidden by default. In your example, the unread items are still on the screen and I have to scroll through many of them to find something that I have not yet read, which can be very tedious.
Community ManagerThanks for the input it would be awesome, if you could create an idea on this in the community Idea board - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Community-Ideas/idb-p/Community-Feedback - it would be good to understand how popular this feature would be?
Allen, IMHO, ideas don't work at all. People use Community Discussions and it works much better, but not perfect.

What is it that doesnt work for you in the idea's boards? I have been using idea's on the Skype community for a number of years and it works well. it needs to be maintained and ours needs cleaned up for sure, something that on the top of my to do list.
Thanks Dean
