Obviously, I'm not the ONLY one who has had this problem! Please, put where the threads come from! I found myself half-way through reading a post, thinking it was in Relationships, only it was in Men's....come on, please!

Mike, we aren't even supposed to be READING them, but the My Forum page shows the last five threads posted in WITHOUT showing where they are from......and I've heard complaints from more than one person about it......you click on it, because it looks interesting, and you are in the WRONG folder!
I've complained about this before, Aga has complained, at least one other of my friends has complained......something DOES need to be done!

WOW, is this a new rule? Not that I have been reading anything at all, or if I have, it has not been intentional or being aware of this new rule until now.

Needless to say since I am "now" aware of this rule, I will be following it to the fullest extent of the law.

Well you may not be following it if you accidently click on something that looks interesting from the latest threads section in My Forums. Darcy and I discovered this the first couple of days. This is kinda like hiding a speed limit sign behind the bush with a cop and his radar gun down the street.
I NEVER use the Latest Thread feature just for the reason I may end up in a forum I'm not supposed to be in. And oh by the way, at the top of every thread, it's public knowledge you're there.

OK, the truth be told back in the old forums there was a thread in mens issues called "Men Not Having Issues" in which women went in and started a thread called "Issues with Men Not Having Issues" or something like that. It basically encouraged both men and women to read the other folder!
So recently when I saw that there was the same kind of thread in Mens issues, I went into Women's issues ONLY to see if there was another thread that was identical to mens issues or not? There wasn't, so I lost interest. I may have read a thread here and there while being over there too out curiousity.

I remember that thread Mike... or the fuss about them...
Now, and rightly so, you are asked not to go into the other thread or folders at all - even out of curiousity... which again I have no problem with...
But people have and are going to end up going to the wrong threads because of the 'Latest Threads' section in My Forums...

BTW, also lets not forget that a lot of my posts in the mens thread ended up being used for quotes by women in the womens folder as well.

Mike... I don't know about your posts being used for quotes... but that was CW, not here...
There was no memo about who could and couldn't go into a folder... but if you go to the 'Forums' page and scroll down to the Men Only or Women Only you will see it state clearly that is is 'Men Only' or Women Only'...
Also, once you open the folder there's a thread for rules, requestion (in the Womens folder) that men read it... and I presume the same can be said for the mens...

Yes, I have seen the men only and the women only, however in light of how things been done in the past, I just thought that meant that you could not post in there at all, which has always been the rule before.

I, too, would like to know what thread I am going into before I waste my time in, lets say, Extreme Teens. (Sorry, teens!)
I am still surprised when I end up in threads I would never choose to follow or post in, that I find myself reading and trying to figure out if there is some joke going on or if I've missed something, before finally scrolling to the name of the thread.
May we please have at least an indication of what the name of the thread is before we click on it?!

Don't feel bad, Mike, I thought the same thing. It wouldn't have occurred to me to read the post at the beginning of each folder because I would have assumed it was the same. It takes a while to figure out what all is new since the change (I have spent much more time in the "Feedback" folder since the move than I ever did in all my time combined at CW.)
Like you, I don't go over to Men's anyway (kinda scary in there!!) except for when there was some good-natured teasing and perusal back and forth a while back, and occasionally when there was a topic of interest. Now that I know the new rules, I won't be in there at all.
I don't go into threads through the "Latest threads" (I don't think I had even discovered that yet), but I agree that if we are not supposed to go into certain threads, there needs to be a way to avoid doing so innocently and embarrassing ourselves.

At the bottom of the "Latest Threads" list is a link that says "Posts Since Last Visit". That link will take you to a page that shows all the most recent posts ordered by time. It will also show you what forum they are in, the author, the last poster, etc.

Laura... I hear what you're saying, but surely the point of 'Latest Threads is to cut out links... to click 'posts since last visit' is adding links, and can probably be achieved other ways...
I nearly clicked on a link last night (which is why I started this thread) but did a search for the thread title (infact I did that several times last night) and found out what folder a thread was in...
If we're expected to click on a 'posts since last visit' link in order to find out what folder a thread is in in 'latest topics' why on earth bother having a 'latest topics'? Why not just have a link in 'my forums' that says 'posts since latest visit'?

Honest it is! 
The title gave not a clue.......but about a minute into my reading I realized that SOMETHING was up......and closed the window!
