What setting? There is just the display of who read the thread. ;)

Sadly not. vB does not store this information, so it would require a database change, and extra code.

is there not a way to set the amount of time, or is it default at 14 days? I can't seem to see anything either under the threads, probably because i should be in bed!

14 days is simply what my test system is set to.


Do you have the new thread marking system enabled ?

Can you tell me where these are before i go off for an hour or two, i've tried looking.

Thread/Forum Read Marking Type : I use Database (no automatic forum marking)

Database Read Marking Limit : Mine is 14 days - choose your limit.

sorry, sorted it. expanded the options.....i'll get my coat / anorak (?)

Jusr curious here, isn't option 3 (automatic forum marking) the best one to use?

Option three adds extra overheads & queries for the forum read checking - and for no percieved advantage by most people. The majority of users just don't seem to pay any attention to forum read markers - as long as their threads are marked, they are happy. But each to their own. :)

I asked what you thought because this is still all new to me. I'm just getting back into things and there are a lot of new things since 3.0 RC1 (which is what I had) up to now. ;)
