It's taken some doing (
), but I finally understand why I've had so much trouble with
(1)s, and this will clarify the problem for others...
I enter FTM via "Forums" by clicking on a "Last Post", followed by clicking on "Index" to get to the particular forum's index.
Or, so I thought.
It turns out that when a post has been moved, clicking on A Forum's "Last Post" (which has become a pointer) takes me directly to B Forum (the real "Last Post's" new location), so I never get to either the post on which I think I clicked or A Forum's index, and their associated
(1) doesn't get cleared.
So, to get rid of a
(1) representing a pointer in A Forum you must click on A Forum, itself. (No need to then visit the thread.)
As far as I'm concerned, that-all's
totally non-intuitive behavior, if not a bug. (Didn't things work differently once upon a time, with the Mods, not the software, inserting the links, and clicking on a "Last Post" actually getting you to where you thought you were going?)
