Topic: Forums being marked as read
If I read a topic, and then go back to the index page, it still says the post I just read is unread.
Anyone got any idea why?
Re: Forums being marked as read
That's the way it's intended to work. It's not actually "unread posts", but "new posts since last visit". It won't be marked read until you push the link to mark all topics as read or until your next visit.
Looking for a certain modification for your forum? Please take a look here before posting.

Since Kryptix mentionned it, why isnt it implemented forums.punbb.org?
Browsing through the posts with the mark as read mod is so much more enjoyable.. and it would probably decrease the amount of questions you guys get from a new user... like, say.. me.

1. Because this forum is supposed to be a demonstration of a standard install.
2. We had rather hoped people would search before posting questions.

Has anyone written a modification to fix this?
I really dislike it.
If not, I'll do it.

I used the mod Mark topics as read v1.1 (now 1.1.3)

1. yeah that's of course what I thought.. still.. that's kind of too bad.. The Styles Released forum over at punres.org (which I assume (maybe falsely) is affiliated with you guys) could greatly profit by such mod.
2. I know how you feel but the search's effectiveness does get weaker and weaker as days go by.. most likely, people who use this forum are familiar with the search feature, but I mean searching through 5k posts (assuming you filter by forums + approx.) may take you a little while before finding what you're looking for. So it all depends on how many time you're willing to search before loosing your patience. Mass deletion maybe? Oh well, still, you guys are doing a great job here!
