Default Mark Forums As Read....

When you go into a forum and read the contents and then return to the main forum page (not by backing up but by clicking the forum link) the forum still indicates new posts, the only way to kill the blinking indicator is to manually apply mark forum as read.

Also when I click read new posts under the forum title I get

"Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

Now this may be as a result of trying to read new posts in a forum where there aint any but the forum indicator is indicating that there are.

firefox 1.5.0.6, now it seems to be working..strange

Seems to be a time issue, I tried in IE6 and can get a similar result when reading a thread and then returning immediately to the main forum. If I refresh the page after a second or so the indicator stops blinking. V strange

You could have the problem I have (at work) and that is the activeX controls could be blocked due to "security-risks" so some actions do not function correctly on my IE6 at work but are fine at home.

I don't think the site uses activex, besides this behaviour is happening on firefox on my ibook as well, and Safari for that matter. Definitely some timing issue, I think

perhaps, how does the vbulletin software keep track of read posts is it by depositing cookies?
