One general inprovement that would be usefull (in general) for VBulletin.

If the link that marks read contained a timestamp of the time when you displayed the page, then anything posted after you read that page would still show as unread.

For instance.....

If you display the page at 12:00 ..
then sit there for an hour ..
then press Mark Read ..
anything posted after 12:00 will still be shown as unread.

The way that VB does it is it marks stuff as read from the moment that you hit the link, so there is a possiblity that you could miss postings made inbetween the period of actually displaying the page and hitting the read link.

That happened with Webboard too.. I guess the way we could do it is set a timestamp in a cookie on page load, then when they mark read, use that instead of the time they click the Mark Read. Maybe have it as an option?

The other bug I found was that if you mark a child forum read, the parent forums still are flagged "new" cause they just look at the "lastpost" from all their children. I need to have it make sure that that last post wasn't in a forum that was marked read, and if it was look at the second to the last post, etc. I'll work on that bug tonight.
