" said:One thing ive noticed is that If im click on a topic from the sidebar, "Latest forum topics", which has a little green ! next to it. After clicking the topic from this bar and reaching the topic, when I look at the sidebar it still has a little green ! next to it. I have to refresh the page for it to go away. Is this a possible error?Possibly to be expected as you actually have to view the new posting for it to be marked as viewed.

After clicking the topic from this bar and reaching the topic, when I look at the sidebar it still has a little green ! next to it. I have to refresh the page for it to go away. Is this a possible error?It is a little annoying. I suspect the "latest forum topics" area gets loaded first which notices posts unread, and then the forum itself is loaded which marks the post as read. I'm not sure it's a bug but "just the way it works", nor am I sure whether there's a way to fix it. Same happens with the PMs, incidentally.

There is a "mark all topics read" button but only on the index page. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Sam Tugwell |

Regarding the index/recent topics 'debate', I seem to have stumbled across something interesting. If you double-click on the 'Forum' link it appears to show the index page, but one click shows the Recent Topics page.

" said:There is a "mark all topics read" button but only on the index page. I know this was updated. Today I selected the sub-topic 'Hosting' and clicked "Mark all topics read". It updated, but I found it updated all topics in the forum. Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply |
