there have to be a way to do that.

mmmmm uninstalling and installing the mod again ?

some SQL instruction ?

Hi again dear Paul,

I am a little confused please help me my friend, I have a problem with my hosting because my forum is using a lot of memory and process in the server, so I am optimizating it to the maximum.

I don?t want to enable the inactivity option in the "Thread/Forum Read Marking Type" option, because for me and my users don?t like how this option works and also with this option I can?t use your mod.

So well I want to use an option that every 5 days all the unread posts of my forum of all my users mark it as read in conjuntion with your mod, to help to the server to don?t have problems because my forum.

My forum is a little big, is this one: www.all-reefs.com

So please tell me which of the 2 options in the ACP in General Settings I have to choose:

this "Database (no automatic forum marking)" or this one "Database (automatic forum marking)", I think the last one.

And in this option is correct to put 5 days ? "Database Read Marking Limit"

Finally in your CP mod, which options I have to choose?....... in "Display Unread Posts Option", this "Use last visit date" or "Count all posts marked as unread" ???

And how many days I have to put here? "Maximum Cutoff Limit", also 5 or less ??

Thank you so much for all your great help in this dear Paul, because your mod is one of the greatest mod that I have installed in my forum.

I will be waiting your answer!!

Cheers,

Mario

I dont really understand that.

Limit the member to X uses of the unread posts feature, like they can only click it so many times per day. Members can grow lazy with this feature.

Paul, yo don´t understand my post ???

I can see no use for this at all, it would just annoy members.

No, I was referring to the post after you.

Auto Forum Marking would be the best choice, 5 days is reasonable, I prefer at least 7.

I prefer to use the "Use last visit date" option, but again, either is fine.

thank you dear Paul,

Ok only confirm me if I have to choose auto forum marking, then put 7 days in the DB Read Marking Limit ?? and finally to choose (enable) the "Use last visit date" option in your Mod Control Panel ?? is that all right ???

And how many days I have to put in the "Maximum Cutoff Limit" option ?? also 7 ?? or less ?

Thank you again my friend.

Mario

Yes, you can set both to 7 days.

Awesome!!

With that options enabled: "auto forum marking" and "Use last visit date" and put in both 7 days.

All the unread posts of all my users will be automatically mark as read after 7 days ?, no matter if the users enter daily to the forum ?
