For some reason when I'm in a topic index of a single forum, when I click the "mark all messages as read" it won't mark them. After the page loads again the new message signs are still there and if I go to the main forum index it claims there are unread messages in the forum. I have tried it a couple of times, no result. It does work on other forums I have tried it on, and I do have all cookies allowed, etc.

I'll look into it, but I just ran a quick test and had no problem. The one in the forum should only mark that forum read, not the rest of the board. Theres a link on the main page, and when you view new that'll mark everything (or should).
What OS and browser are you using?
Thanks!:asian:

I tried them again. The "Mark this forum read" doesn't work for me. "Mark all forums read" on the other hand works fine (always has).
I have Win98SE and IE 6.0. I also have Opera 6.05, I'll try that in a moment...
...same thing happens with Opera!

Short update, I tried going forum by forum using different browsers, and have not been able to recreate the problem on my end. I will try again later tonite with a second PC.
I've had the problem. Try "mark this forum read" without actually
reading the posts. Then close the browser, and restart it. Maybe
hit a couple other pages, and then come back. Without a new
post, it will be marked again as "unread". It happens often with
me.

As someone who does websoftware myself, I'm interested... Did you change something, as it now works? What did you change and how?

All I did was toggle the setting to 'remember' you. My guess is its a cookie thing.

I'm having this problem right now. It works for like a minute or two, then they go back to being marked unread.
