[JJR512]

I already went through this last night, with ethank standing by on AIM for support with a few bits of the original instructions that weren't quite clear. But as we worked it all out, he made changes to the text file, so what's attached in his message above should be good. I'm happy to report that the functionality of the hack seems to work just fine. There are one or two minor rough edges that I don't know if were addressed yet, for example the Moderators column gets used to hold the links to mark the forum read or get new posts in that forum, but the instructions don't mention to change the name of the column. You can probably figure that out on your own, but I think it should be in there. There was one other issue about templates...when you click the link to mark a forum read, it sends you through the same redirection as if you'd marked all forums as read. So you see the message that all forums have been marked read. Ethank suggested I change the wording of that template to be that the one forum had been marked as read, but then it would say that if you used the mark all forums read link. So there really should be a new template created that is called when you just mark an individual forum as read. I think that ethank is considering putting that in a later release along with some other stuff, although he can comment on that better than I.
