Correct forum_old & forum_new.gif ?
 

Hi All;

i was a phpbb user and i droped out using phpbb, my new bb software is VBulletin.

i would like to ask a very basic question;

when someone replies a post or post a new threat i saw forum_new.gif instead of forum_old.gif, then i go to threat and read it then click to forum home link. BUT, i still see the forum_new.gif instead of forum_old.gif . i already read the post and i shouldnt see the forum_new.gif status icon. At least, in phpbb i always see "no new post" icon which is very useful for forum members.

And, i know that almost all of the visitors dont care about how VB is secure and functional. But they care about that tiny bits i mentioned above.

So, how may i correct the forum status icon. What should i do? i search the forums and didnt find a hack.

Please help...

The mark read function currently in vBulletin just plain sucks and is inaccurate. There's a rumor that it will be better addressed in the next release. Until then there isn't a whole lot you can do. Search vbulletin.com and you'll find a variety of threads on this subject. My users are constantly complaining about it.

Jolten is right, you will just have to wait for a future release for the 'mark read' shortcomings to be addressed.

I know many are, including me.

:disappointed: :disappointed: :disappointed: :disappointed:

this is really bad! i've just moved to VB from phpbb and my members are all gettin mad....
