Something that really bugs me about the new forum.

Has anyone tried logging in from two different computers?  At work, I’ve read and responded to everything.  From home, every thread is new again even though there are no new posts from the last time I checked the thread at work, it looks like I havn’t read a thing.  This could be a real pain in the ass.  Any way of fixing it?

This is the second complaint I’ve seen about that.  It seems to do the right thing for me.  Oddly, I often had the problem you describe on the old board.

I never had this problem with the old board once logged in.  I seem to have it every time I log in from home....I just maybe figured it out while typing.  I saved it at work to recognize me.  I don’t do that at home.  Though I did the same thing on the old boards, could that be causing it?  Some sort of cookie that marks the last threads read?  Seems wierd to me that that sort of info would be stored on my computer and not on the server.

I’m saved at both work and home, and it works.  You might want to try that.

That does work.  Cookies don’t seem to work right from computer to computer.

At least give me a blasted “Mark all forums/threads as read.” option, please.  That would be nice.

EDIT: Apparently ask and ye shall receive!  20 seconds after posting this, I saw the option now.  Hopefully that wasn’t there much earlier than this post.  :red:
