Hi everyone,
For several years we have been dealing with read/unread issues. Sometimes after you have already read all the new posts in a thread, the board will still show that the thread has unread messages in it.
Also, sometimes when you were logged in for a long period of time, the board would automatically mark all threads as read, and they wouldn't show up as new anymore even though you hadn't read them yet.
I know this has been very frustrating for some, but I'm happy to announce that it's been changed. Right now I'm not sure if it's permanent because it may have an affect on the board's performance, but we're going to test it out.
After enabling this feature, you'll probably notice that all threads here on the forum have been set back to new or unread. On the main screen of the forum, near the bottom, please click on the Mark Forums Read link. This will give everyone a fresh start and from that point on, everything should work fine.
This change means that only threads with new replies will show up in "New Posts," and it means that threads that you haven't read yet will stay marked as new until you open them.
If you have any questions, let me know.
