[COMPLETED] viewing "READ" papers

Greetings,

I'm probably missing something simple. I know there's a way to view all the UNREAD papers in your library. Is there a way to view all the READ papers? Or maybe search by the "priority to read" field?

Great site. Thank you.

"Unread" is slightly misleading - it just lists the unread one first. So the read ones are at the end. But neither case shows which papers are actually read or unread.

Some people use tags for this. With the Bulk Tagging trick, it can be pretty easy to add a "read" tag to lost of articles in one go. So read articles are:

     http://www.citeulike.org/user/studentx/tag/read

and unread ones:

     http://www.citeulike.org/user/studentx/tag/!read

Some people consider this "tag abuse" - for example, your tag cloud will likely have a dominant "read" element shouting at you.

If this doesn't work for you, file a "Feature Request"...

So:

         http://www.citeulike.org/user/studentx/tag/!read

is everything that is not marked "read". Correct? Can tags start with an exclamation mark?

And that is useful syntax. Needs to be in the FAQ somewhere.

Excluding a tag can be done by prepending it with '!'.

Tags are only a-z,0-9,-,_

I understand. I will try using a 'read' tag in my library. Thanks for the explanation.
