Topic: Why do new messages remain as unread ?

Hello all,

I have just installed PunBB on my website and when someone posts a new message, the envelop's color changes but even if I read that new post, it remains of that color !!

This is the same behaviour on this forum too ?! Is there any cookie problem or something ?

I thank you in advance for your answers.



PS: I apologise if I make some mistakes in english, because I am french wink

It's normal. It's due to the way punbb mark read topics. Indeed, to mark topic as read, you must clic on"mark topic as read".
This way of marking topics as read may be modified with 1.3. Waiting, you can have a look at that mod : http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=321

Ludo,

Thanks a lot Ludo wink

Do you mean that I have to click on the "mark topic as read" in the index ? I could find any kind of such links inside one topic. I guess this is quite hazardous since in the mean time, some people may post new things and since I have clicked on that link, I will not see them !!

I'll have a look at the mod you indicate me ?

Thx again !

It's like that. This method enables avoiding a bloatyfied system. Either you install the mod or you wait for 1.3....
