You may have noticed that some threads are showing (for you) as unread. The reason is this; The software was set to automatically mark threads/posts as read after a certain time period regardless of whether the user had actually read it or not.

I have now changed this setting so that the software will check the cookies on your machine to ascertain whether the thread/posts have been read or not. This will prevent members missing posts and threads. If you want to mark all the threads/posts as read you can do it in two ways;

1. Double click the orange post icon at the left of each forum (shows pale blue if all is read).

2. Click the 'Mark Forums Read' link at the foot of the front page.

Either way the new settings will immediately show if there's something you've missed. :)

Rob, If I do that it locks the thread! :scratch:
