As currently a mark or symbol appears beside a new-launched post for the day, thus helping to identify the new post easily, similarly a provision of marker or symbol showing posts that are already read by the signed in member will greatly help him or her to avoid opening the read post. Is that later mentioned feature already available? Somebody may please help me to find it. If the feature not available, any initiative to incorporate the feature will be greatly appreciated by everyone, I suppose. Thnx in advance, regards....

If the post is new and unread it has red color symbols. rest of the threads (old threads) are colorless/gray.

However, old threads are not necessarily read. It's not forums settings but web-browsers' (IE, firefox etc.). Unfortunately forum doesn't have any special symbol for it, but in your browser setting there's font-color-code. In most of the cases already visited threads (links in this case) have faint color than unread threads.
hope that helps.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
