I absolutely love this hack and have been using a version or another of it since vB version 2.0.3.

I was curious though if there was a way to modify the behaviors of the two different markread functions just a little.

What I am requesting may not be possible, but I sure think its logical. At least to me.

When a user goes to mark a forum read using this feature, it normally implies that they are done with that particular forum, but by default, when this action is performed they are returned to the same forum.

I have found a way to have it so that using either of the markread functions will return a user to the main forum index, but what I would like to see and perhaps a few others who use this, is that the user is returned to the Parent forum after the link to mark is clicked.

I?m really not very good with PHP, or else I probably would have come up with some kind of routine to achieve this for the users of my forum and added it here for others who may be interested.

For those interested in how I managed to get users to be redirected to the forum index when using this feature, have a look at this topic and apply what information it contains to the markforumread functions here within ethank?s hack to get that behavior.

If its not feasibly possible to do this I understand, but logistically it just seems to me to make more sense when a user marks a forum read that they be returned to the parent forum without having to make any extra click to either leave the forum they just marked or as the case is at my board, to go from the forum index back into the subforums they were browsing.

Great hack ethank! Now I just need to figure out what changes you made to optimize index.php, since my version of this is more or less from your original release of this hack with the mark forum and children forums function added in just recently.
