New thread marking system

Hi all, as discussed in another thread - we are trialling the cookie-based thread marking system

Now, when you log out or leave the site for over half an hour, everything gets marked as read up to that point. So when you come back any posts shown as unread should be new ones since your last visit and get reset again when you log back out or leave the site for over half an hour again

We'll give it a few weeks and see how you get on with it - if the majority of you prefer the old way we can revert

If you want to reset your counter and mark everything as read - you can click here to mark the forums as read.

Re: New thread marking system

Hey All - now that it's been up a while, which do you prefer? The old system or the one we have now?

Re: New thread marking system

I liked the old one better...if I don't have time to respond to all in my Control Panel, they are gone when I come back on, and I have to hunt for them. But will go along with the majority decision ......

Re: New thread marking system

Prefer the old way. Sometimes I pop in quickly and see a thread but don`t want to go on it, whereas if I have more time I might browse.

Re: New thread marking system

I think I preferred the old way too, if you click out and come back before the half hour it shows things you've already read as unread.
