Forum "New Posts" Change
At the suggestion of one of our members, I made a small change to the forum settings. A lot of us are busy and don't have time to read all of the new posts in a single session, but when we leave the site for a few hours and come back, the posts we haven't gotten to no longer show up as unread posts/threads.
The change I made will leave the threads unread until you decide to read them. Initially, you'll notice a lot of threads under the new posts page that have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts. Those are just threads that don't have the new flag indicating that you've read them, even if you already have. As you read the various threads, that list should shrink and/or go away. If this feature proves to be useful to everybody, we'll keep it, so if you feel strongly one way or the other, please leave feedback in this thread.
Thanks!

Fantastic!
This is great! Thank you very much.
This way, when I spend too much time chewing on the meat in one of the deeper post, the new posts do not get reset. Also, like you said, I can drop in for a few minutes and then come back later when I have more time and finish reading the new posts. Great!
Thanks again for all you do here bambam.

Mark Forums Read
BTW, once you are sure that you have read all the new posts, you can click on "Mark Forums Read" under "Quick Links" and it will show all posts as read (no new posts).
