Hi guys was just wondering if there is an option to show a preview of latest post? Can't seem to find the option.

Also I've just changed Thread/Forum Read Marking Type from cookies to option 3
Database (automatic forum marking) I have it set for 2 days before posts are classed a read, do you guys recommend this option and how my day do ya have it set at?

For the least amount of problems set it to Database (automatic forum marking). If you have server loading issues, then you may wish to choose another method. Many modifications require the Database method so you need to research each modification if you wish to use a different method.

On my large board I do see a difference in loading, but I still use the database method.

How many days you have it set at buddy?

No sense in comparing boards, really. It depends a lot on how many posts you get per day. If your board has 10 posts a day, you may want to set it higher than on a board with 1000 posts a day.
