    leaving unread topics as new

    Ship or Term,

    I lose my wifi from time to time or have to log out before I have read all the new posts in areas of interest to me. When logging back in I have to go searching dates and times to make sure I haven't missed anything. YA, I know I am an FNForum.net junkie, but it really ROCKS!

    Is there a way to leave new unread topics showing as new, instead of showing read when relogging into the forum?

    Not sure the technical part of forums, but I thought I would ask. Could have it as an option in one's profile settings. Maybe its not so simple, but I would understand if it so.

    Thanks to you guys that do all the work for this forum!

    No, unfortunately, it isn't possible. I've had an occassional issue with this too - if a browser crash, or it looses my cookie and I don't stay signed in.

    It's a software thing that we cannot do anythinga bout.

    We will have V Bulletin installed later this year - assuming the conversion of the database goes off withouta hitch. We may have more luck with this issue with that software.

    I believe with V Bulletin - we can set it up to just keep showing all the threads from that day - even if you already read some. Until we switch, we're stuck - we can't do that on php.

    Thanks ship for the insight on that. I'll just wait and see.

    Hopefully our new software will fix that. No promises.

    Yeah, it sucks, but there is no cure for this. Just be more careful

    Hard to be careful when wifi signal drops, beyond my control.

    I just know there are forums that show threads un-read until you read it, no matter what.

    Just thought it might be doable here now.

    Thanks MP.

    above my pay grade. I think you need a programmer to go over the code to figure that one out

    Instead of being careful, read faster

    I do try, but when the pages load slowly, due to poor link quality... Well you know.
