Are Datschge and I the only ones pulling for a return of the "Mark all posts as read" feature? If logging out and in again is the only way to reset the "new post" visual cue, it seems almost necessary, as signing in and out every time I want to quickly see if new posts are made is a bit cumbersome. I just don't see why not, I can't imagine it being a very obtrusive feature to those who don't use it.

Wtf, I've talked about this twice already. No, you're not the only ones. And I even brought it up first.

Easy now, oversight on my part, apologies. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder or anything.

You don't have to manually log out do get the messages marked as read, the forum should do it automatically once you've gone a few minutes without using it.  Seems to me that it's easy enough to remember what posts you've read after you've recently logged in, even if they're not marked as such.

Give it a few days please and if a bunch of you still find it to be a problem I'll add the link back.

Seems fine to me (I think POPOBOT5000 mistaked me for BAMAToNE as I never had an issue with that and am never using 'Mark all posts as read' anywhere anyway).

The reason I like it is because I check it a lot while at work. And there are times when I have to run off and go do something for periods of time. I don't want the posts to be marked as read when I return. Sometimes and I can leave the browser open and sometimes i can't. But basically it all comes down to control. I like to control as many things as possible. I want the threads to be marked as read because I told them they were read. Not because the forums thinks I read them. *shrug*

Great forums!

Yes the new forum is looking good.

If you don't have it already, you should download Tabbrowser preferences. Then you can set links to open in new tabs rather than in new windows, along with lots of other options.

On a tangent: Cool....I just noticed that the forum puts a little dot next to threads that we posted in. I know other board types have a little graphic beside such threads, but it's nice to have a simple, non-graphical mark so that pages load faster (in theory, anyway, heh).

Anyone else having logon problems?  I'm using IE5.5 on W98 and the forum has a tendency to ignore my logon attempts.  For example, I put in my user name and PW, click Login and it just returns me to the forums without logging me in.  This last time, I was able to get in after deleting a few altpop cookies, but the problem seems to pop up randomly.  Adam?

If you don't want to install an extension for it, you can go to Tools --> Options --> Tabs --> Check the box "Force links that open new windows to open in" and select "new tab." That pretty much got everything sorted when I use FF.

In addition to all of BAMAToNE's points, the "marked as read, in time" feature doesn't alway seem to work for me. Every other forum I know of gives users the feature, and I really don't see why it's being withheld. I personally don't use "Today's Posts" but I don't consider it an in-the-way nuisance because it's there, so... why not give users the option?

Amazing,It is easy for editing post now^^

Hi all! Just wanted to add how happy I am to see the forum sans the stupid drama. I had to leave the old forum because it was difficult to distinguish what were real posts and just annoyances.

Thanks for making STC sorta normal again. If such a term apply to this place.
