Mon Nov 15, 2004 8:32 pm Post subject: Check box |
 
|
When a new message is displayed, it's highlighted in yellow.
When I am trying to access the forum and I cannot for some reasons, or when I don't log in for a while, when I come back, many threads are not highlighted although I know I haven't read them so I have to look at them one by one which is tedious...
Do you think it would be useless and/or tedious to make a little check box that could keep track of the thread one has read or not or one would like to read later and/or another one that could keep track of threads where one would like to have follow-ups.

Hey Schro - what browser are you using
and also note if you come from PM's it can also clear them out.

In other words... checking your PM's counts as checking the forums, so it'll reset your "New Post" indicators. |

Thanks for the PM info, thuring and Cocles.
I am using Internet explorer.
I rarely receive PMs so I rarely check my inbox anyway. Still it shows up as if I had read them. Maybe instead of "ideas:, I should have put this as a "help" thread...

Done - hmmm Schroddie, I don't know. I use firefox and it came back to me that it could be a firefox problem.
Wonder if anyone besides me and you are having this problem?

Yes, I have had this problem in the past as well. I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure I hadn't been checking PMs when it happened to me. |

And today I just discovered there is a link on the top right corner of the forum list called "View posts since last visit". I don't know how long it has been there but that's just great! Thanks!!

Is the highlighting driven by cookies? I've noticed my unread highlights are different from computer to computer.

I've noticed that if I interrupt the browser during loading of a page (click back buttor, or click a different link before the first one loads) it'll reset all threads as if I've just read them all. Annoying behavior, and possibly operator error. Any suggestions (besides not being an idiot?)
