Technical Problem

Is there someone to contact about having technically issues with the forum? Specifically, when I read threads they are not being marked as "read" and therefore continue to show up on the list of "unread posts".

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this.

As long as you are logged in, they will continue to be listed as "unread" until you click "Mark all topics as read" or until you end your session and log in again.

There is no way around this? All of the other message boards I have been apart of have at least an icon that changes as I read the threads.

This is going to make keeping track of everything here a lot more annoying. Oh well... I guess I can't always get what I want.

There is a way round it, though it would involve switching the forum to phpBB. And when I say "would involve," what I really mean is "is."

Ya know, I've never really had a problem with it; never even really noticed.

I don't see why it's a big deal to simply click "Mark all topics as read"

The reason I like having it check them off as I read them is because I don't just go through the list in order, but as I am interested in the thread, and I only have bits and pieces of time here. So, I don't have time to read every new thread everytime I sit down at the computer.

So, I like to be able to know which I have read, which I have not and which have new posts since the last time I looked.

Like I said, it is not the end of the world, I think that there will just have to be some posts that slip past me. I will survive.

Buck, There is a visit timeout on the forum. Originally it was set to 10 minutes. Which means, you'd have to be on a thread (not the board) for 10 minutes before it was marked as read. Obviously that's too long. I've changed it to 3 minutes. Which should help but as Facehammer pointed out, this forum software has some limits. When I started the forum I never imagined it would become this popular.

And it'll get even MORE popular.

I don't know....there's something darn addictive about this forum....hummmm.....

Thanks.

Again, esspecially as a new poster here, I just want to point out that I wasn't trying to complain. I just wanted to know if there was something I wasn't aware of.

It looks like there is a lot of interesting stuff going on here, I just don't want to miss any of it.
